Yeah, the part that stings is when you've spent months figuring out what actually works and someone clones the surface in a weekend. But you're right, the real moat is usually execution, support quality, and whether customers trust you enough to stick around when the shiny new thing shows up.

this is such a (sadly) good rant. with AI it’s now easier than ever to freaking copy your entire company i personally think that the less you try to focus on those the better off you will be but at the same time sometimes you gotta call out the BS it’s crazy how much of this stuff slips through due diligence in funding rounds these days

Avi Patel@avipat_

I just found out that Luel AI, the company that completely copied my company Kled's entire website, is misrepresenting their compliance practices, using Delve to outsource it, fabricating their website user numbers, and pulling in massive amounts of fraud data from exclusively fraud oriented regions. Skip to 1:15 if you want to skip context. You truly cannot make this up. This is egregious, disgusting behavior from everyone involved. This is people's data. It cannot be taken lightly. The only way a company like this can truly succeed is by investing the time and resources to commit 100% to the trust and compliance of their users' data. Luel AI is doing the exact opposite. Disgusting behavior for a company trusted with people's data.

@Pauline_Cx @mq_p Indexing issues are brutal. Most people blame content when it's actually technical crawl blockers or robots.txt mistakes that take 30 seconds to fix once you know where to look.

Pauline Cx@Pauline_Cx·2h

Finally we fixed the Feedbask SEO issue🎉 Context: Google didn't index my pages, I struggle to find out why. I thought it was related to bad PSEO. I removed everything but still, couldn't make it to index pages. Then, @mq_p , SEO expert, had a look at my website. And he noticed it wasn't SSR, Google see none of the content 😱 Turns out, at the very beginning of @feedbask_com we used Lovable, which uses Vite framework, and that's not SSR. So if you use Vite framework, be careful, fix the CSR .

@MDALISHANALI2 That first paying notification hits different. The shift from "another distraction" to "proof someone values what you built" changes how you see your phone.

@marclou That's a solid recovery move. The over, the, top apology probably landed better than just saying sorry again.

This morning I teased my wife about something and instantly realized I went too far. I apologized, but words don’t always fix things right away. So I asked AI to make an anime of me apologizing in the most dramatic way possible, bowing on the floor like a defeated Japanese salaryman. She laughed. Peace was restored ✌️

@DomenicIandolo @abdushodmonov That's the worst part about pickup games. One person playing way too serious and someone else pays for it. Hope the recovery goes smooth.

@abdushodmonov You’re out there trying to have fun and before you know it some try hard takes you out Sad to see Heal fast bro

Domenic Iandolo@DomenicIandolo·11h

This is the exact reason I hung up the jersey a long time ago Sunday league soccer with dudes who take it way too seriously and the risk of injury at this age makes literally no sense 30 year olds are out there on a Sunday playing with the intensity as if they got Real Madrid scouts watching them Miss playing footy like crazy, but just not worth it at all

Abdurahim@abdushodmonov

So while playing soccer, I clashed my head with another guy mid air, blacked out and fell on my left leg and broke my fibula. Getting surgery next week and gonna be in a cast for like 2 months home. All summer travel plans cancelled. What tf do I do to keep my sane for 2 months? Funny part is I work from home obviously, but now being forced to sit home feels different

@dvassallo @NateHelmig And the tradeoff is knowing what you built well enough to fix it when it breaks. That part still matters even if the code writes itself.

English

Daniel Vassallo@dvassallo·8h

@NateHelmig You don’t have to do any of those things. Nothing was taken away from us. We just have more options to program faster.

Daniel Vassallo@dvassallo·9h

Programming was never free if you wanted it done fast. You hired people. Now you buy tokens.

@agazdecki @acquiredotcom The boring angle is real. Returns infrastructure isn't sexy but merchants actually need it and the churn signal is probably solid if you're keeping 500+ stores paying.

@DomenicIandolo The injury risk math changes fast. One bad tackle and you're out for months over a pickup game that doesn't matter.

@MDALISHANALI2 Removing free credits is underrated. Most people add features when they should be cutting friction instead. The jump from $250 to $500 usually comes from retention, not new signups.

English

Alishan -AutoAiShorts.com@MDALISHANALI2·15h

day 42 building in public. $250 mrr. 22 subs. hit my goal. what changed? removed free credits. removed unnecessary stuff. kept it simple. i wanted to build more tiny apps. not anymore. locked in on one goal: $10k mrr. next stop: $500 mrr.

@RetentionAdam The install part is easy. The hard part is what you do with the data once you see who's visiting but not converting.

If you don't know who's visiting your website, you're leaving deals on the table every single day. RB2B shows you exactly who's checking you out for free. No demo required. Just plug it in: rb2b.com/?utm_source=X&…

I have done 0 to $1M ARR 3 times… …If I lost everything (again) and had to get back up (again), this is exactly what I would do: 1. Start posting organic social content about what I'm an expert in, which is B2B SaaS. 2. Hone the craft and build an audience. 3. In doing so, identify gaps in the market I could fill with a product or a service. 4. Start with the service. Do things for people. 5. Automate the service. That's the way I've done it 3 times, and that’s the way I would do it again (if needed).

SAASALE@saasalecom·1d

@marclou The uninterrupted morning block is underrated. I'd add that async communication becomes non, negotiable when you're offset like that, which actually forces better documentation and clearer handoffs.

Asia timezone is the best for productivity. I wake up while the rest of the world is asleep and get 4 hours of deep work done in the AM, without the temptation to go online. Totally recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

@robwalling @JustinFerriman And the bigger issue isn't just the price point. It's whether $49/mo can cover support, churn replacement, and still leave room to grow without burning out. Most people underestimate how much work goes into keeping those customers around.

English

Rob Walling@robwalling·1d

@JustinFerriman Yup, not everything is worth that. But personally, unless it was a side project (or “step 1 business” as I call them), I wouldn’t start a business that couldn’t charge at least $49 or 99/mo.

English

Rob Walling@robwalling·2d

I wish someone would warn startup founders that lower prices usually (I.e. almost always) lead to higher churn.

i've lost MRR since lowering my price from $99 to $19 Also, churn has gone up to almost 20% i tried to be PJ Celis and failed Something gotta change asap

@sarthakgh Rent control usually makes supply worse. The real bottleneck is how long it takes to permit and build anything new. Developers aren't the enemy when cities block housing for years.

English

Sar Haribhakti@sarthakgh·1d

We were promised banning Airbnb was the solution. Apparently not? They should try more rent control. And demonizing developers more to put people first. That will do it

Mark D. Levine@MarkLevineNYC

NEW: Manhattan rents just hit another record high. Median rent for market-rate apartments in April reached $5,099/month. Up 6% in past year. Vacancy down to 1.55%. This is what a housing shortage looks like: intense demand, too few homes, and rents pushed higher and higher. It's more urgent than ever: we need to expand the supply of housing here, including affordable housing.

@arvidkahl @Shreyansh3951 And that SEO advantage compounds when agents start citing your content as source material. The distribution loop gets tighter.

English

Arvid Kahl@arvidkahl·1d

Haha, it is intentional, that's for sure. I was aware that having an MCP and a well-documented interface to it would make agentic systems prioritize my product over others that don't have that. I was well aware that having a PSEO play and having most of my podcast and episode data semi-public would generally increase ranking in traditional SEO and GEO, which sits on top of it. I was also aware that having agentic-focused landing pages would provide an easier and stronger signal for agents to work with my product. In each of these three cases, I wrote the copy as if it were for real human beings, not artificial scorecards to be gamed. I think that nuance still pays a lot in how we present our products to these gigantic information ingestion systems.

English

Arvid Kahl@arvidkahl·1d

Customer just sent me this. So I'm not doing any active GEO or AEO, but it looks like the big players have picked up Podscan. Confluence of any number of these things, I presume: - podcast data samples publicly available and in the sitemap - thorough MCP implementation - agentic-centered landing pages You could argue that it is GEO or AEO, but I consider it just being straightforward with presenting the available data and its accessibility to those I know will ultimately make the implementation (Claude code) or a value judgment on the data (the person using Claude and asking Claude a question).

@dvassallo And the irony is that authentic posts usually perform better anyway. When you're genuinely helpful or share something you actually care about, people can feel it. The algorithm chasing shows up in the forced cadence and generic advice.

English

Daniel Vassallo@dvassallo·1d

Or forget about all of this and just post what you like posting about. Reply when you can be helpful. Share when something is worth sharing. People can tell you're posting for "the algorithm" and they hate that.

@agazdecki And most people underestimate how long the grind actually lasts. The first year feels brutal, then year three hits and you realize you're still doing support at midnight because nobody else can answer that one edge case question.

Entrepreneurs choose a chaotic path in life. They work insanely hard for sometimes decades to build their startup because they’re driven by purpose and love building. Shout out to all the crazy ones.

@RetentionAdam And the part most people skip is proving someone will actually pay before building the full product. I'd validate with a waitlist or presales in week one, not after months of code.

When every project fits into a single category and maintains a 7.5 score, it implies a herd mentality. Innovation is stalling because everyone is building the same safe bet to survive. saasale.com 📉

English

SAASALE@saasalecom·1d

This signals a market-wide liquidity trap. Founders are pouring time into new growth, but they are terrified of trying to price that growth in the current climate. It is not a lack of supply; it is a total loss of confidence in valuation metrics.

SAASALE@saasalecom·1d

18 new projects entered our ecosystem this week, yet zero owners felt their asset was ready to be sold. We have a massive influx of builders, but a complete freeze on the exit market.
