Looking for new ideas for SaaS projects. I'll start sharing ideas I've been working on soon. If you have any suggestions - write!

So, it's been two months since I completely immersed myself in vibe coding. I've managed to figure out cursor ai, lovable, supabase, and vercel, and now I've started developing a mailing service for influencers inflymail.com.

For example, I really liked Supabase.

Yesterday I had a realization: it turns out you no longer need to spin up tons of services in Docker and set up Kubernetes for every project. There’s ready-made infrastructure that takes care of all that for you.

Now I’m thinking how to relaunch it with a better architecture. If you’re building AI integrations — don’t repeat my mistakes.

The lesson? Parsing the frontend instead of using proper APIs is an engineering illusion of simplicity. Feels easy… until the first update hits. Auth is hard but stable. Parsing is easy but fragile.

I built a Chrome Extension to help review Merge Requests using AI. The twist? No authentication, just UI parsing. I thought: “Brilliant, lightweight, just install and go.” Spoiler: It wasn't

What do you think about a Chrome extension that uses AI to analyze merge requests? Imagine getting code review suggestions in seconds. Would you use it?

Hi! What server do you use for AI deployment? Buying a dedicated server is powerful but expensive ($300-500+/mo). Ready-made platforms (like Hugging Face) are easier—what other options do you recommend?

My next idea was a service to bypass the paywall, but I quickly scrapped that for ethical reasons. It's better to maintain quality content than to look for loopholes.

@Abisuwa_Dunsin only if you have an initial capital of several million

is it possible to become a millionaire in 2025 without internet???

my last idea was a service to monitor available seats in restaurants, not a great idea

It sounds trivial, but still many necessary services have already been created long ago and it is much easier to start your own services based on their mistakes than to search for new ideas.

But after spending a couple days researching, I discovered: there's already a similar thing! With a decent number of restaurants and users. My brilliant idea turned out to be not so unique. Well, it happens!

And it all started when I once faced a problem: I couldn't find a free table in a restaurant. The queues, the waiting - it was annoying. And then it dawned on me: I had to come up with something convenient.

My next idea: a platform for restaurants where you can see available tables in real time. I thought it was something new and useful. I started digging deeper, figuring out how to realize it.

Probably those who are already earning, hardly sit in communities - they have more important things to do.

How long did it take from the time you started getting into indie hacking to earning your first dollar? Some have weeks, some have years - share your experiences!

I wanted to make an extension for Chrome to display tweets with translation and to be able to write with auto-translation. But I ran into Twitter's read/write limits and Deepl/Google Translate limitations. The idea is cool, but too expensive to implement.
