I’m curious what everyone here is building.

Drop your SaaS below and explain it in 1–2 lines. No pitching, just share what it does.

Hey everyone!

I've been building StartupsMap, a platform where people can discover startups, founders, and what they're building.

Over the past few weeks, I've onboarded around 65 startups. Some came through cold emails, some through outreach, and every new listing felt like a small win.

And recently, I made my first sale. 🎉

It's not a huge amount of money, but it feels different when someone actually pays for something you've built.

A few things I'm learning along the way:

• Don't wait for users to find you. I've been reaching out to founders directly, and cold emailing has worked better than I expected.
• Talk to users before building more features. Getting startups onboarded helped me understand what founders actually care about: visibility, discovery, and reaching the right audience.
• Distribution is as important as building. You can build a great product, but if nobody knows it exists, it doesn't matter much.
• Your first sale changes your mindset. It gives you a little confidence that this thing might actually work.
• Small wins compound. One founder, one listing, one conversation, one customer at a time.

I'm still figuring things out, and StartupsMap is far from where I want it to be.

But 65 startups and the first sale have given me enough motivation to keep going.

I'm curious about other indie founders here:

What was your first sale like, and what actually helped you get it?

Would love to learn from your experiences.

I found out that for some cases the easiest way is just to found out your target group and dm people. I know that might be cringy but let’s think about for a sec - in 10 days none will care or remember. So don’t wait just move on.

I’m using for example Indiepilot.app which is helping me with finding direct contact but you can use whatever app you’d like to. if you are interested dm me we can schedule a call and talk about solutions how to get first clients to your startup.

I am Saif, from Hyderabad, India. For the last nine months I've been building AURENIX AI — a no-code workspace where anyone can build AI agents and voice assistants without writing a single line of code. It's live at aurenixai.co and I'm opening private beta to this community.

What it does:

Create your own AI assistants (powered by GPT-5, Claude, or Gemini) and voice agents that actually listen and respond — all from one dashboard. Think of it as a workspace where you build your own AI team instead of paying for 5 different subscriptions that don't talk to each other.

What you can test (free, no card):

1. Up to 3 custom AI Agents — give them a role, pick a model, chat with them.

2. Up to 3 Voice Agents — browser-based voice recognition + response.

3. Full analytics dashboard to see your usage.

What's intentionally locked during beta:

1. Knowledge Base (document upload / RAG) — unlocking after beta.

2. Automation Workflows (visual builder with triggers, AI steps, actions) — post-beta.

3. Core ($20) and Pro ($80) paid plans — locked until I open paid tiers.

Honest limitations I want to call out:

1. Early beta — expect at least one bug per session.

2. Voice works best in Chrome on desktop/laptop (Safari and mobile are rougher).

3. Voice email actions prepare a draft in your browser — they don't send automatically yet.

4. Mobile UI is functional but desktop is where it shines.

The Story behind it:

I'm not a developer by training. My degree is in Bachelor’s engineering. I work full-time as a Senior Workday Consultant at MNC Firm. I had no co-founder, no funding, no technical mentor — just a laptop, Replit, Claude, and a lot of late nights.

The setbacks were real:

1. First UI attempt looked like a generic template — scrapped it, redesigned every page from scratch.

2. Spent 8 hours debugging a single CSS bug that broke the dashboard.

3. Voice Agents initially just opened browser tabs and lied about "completing" actions — had to rebuild the entire architecture into a proper structured tool system.

4. Had to teach myself React, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, authentication security, CSRF protection — all while delivering client work during the day.

How I kept going:

Honestly? I didn't have a choice. The vision was clearer than the code. Every time something broke I treated it as the product teaching me what it needed. I posted nothing publicly for 9 months, then shipped. Boring and effective.

What I need from this community:

Try it for 10 minutes.

Tell me what's broken, what's confusing, what you'd pay for, what you wouldn't.

Be brutal — I'd rather hear "this sucks because X" than polite silence.

Hey Guys!

I've been building something called Kitaphone, and I wanted to share the journey and get some genuine feedback.

The idea came from a simple problem: we have WhatsApp, FaceTime, and dozens of messaging apps, but what happens when you're abroad and need to call a regular phone number?

Your bank doesn't have WhatsApp. Neither does that government office you're trying to reach.

So I built Kitaphone a browser-based international calling platform.

• Call mobile phones and landlines internationally.
• No SIM card or app installation required.
• Pay only for the minutes you use. No subscriptions.
• Works directly from your phone or computer.

I launched the product, got my first paying customers, and have been improving it based on real user feedback.

Building it has been an interesting experience. Getting something working is one challenge. Convincing strangers to trust it enough to make their first call is a completely different one.

I'm still figuring out distribution, onboarding, and how to communicate the value without sounding like another generic VoIP service.

I'd love some feedback from founders :

1. If you landed on a website offering international calls directly from your browser, what would make you trust it?
2. Would you prefer pay-as-you-go calling or a monthly subscription?
3. What would stop you from trying a product like this?

You can check it out at https://kitaphone.com

I'm building this independently, learning as I go, and would genuinely appreciate your thoughts, especially the critical ones.

Thanks Guys

Buenas.

Tengo un SaaS B2B ya desarrollado y en producción (no es una idea en servilleta ni un prototipo en Figma, el software está 100% operativo con casos de uso reales). Resuelve gestión operativa, aprobaciones y cobros para profesionales independientes y estudios de servicios.

La parte técnica y de producto está resuelta. Lo que necesito ahora es a alguien con experiencia real en Growth / Go-To-Market para liderar la tracción inicial, adquisición orgánica/comunidades y activación de los primeros cohortes de usuarios en la región.

Estoy abierto a evaluar el esquema (socio/equity o fee según perfil, experiencia y propuesta de trabajo).

Si ya laburaste escalando productos digitales o herramientas B2B/freelance:

1. Mandame un DM contándome brevemente qué proyectos o SaaS moviste.
2. Te muestro la app viva en 5 minutos y vemos si hace match.

Hey Reddit! 👋 I'm an indie developer from Sri Lanka, and I've been building something called SnapRank.

What if photography was more than just posting pictures and collecting likes?

📸 Capture real photos with no filters or editing.
🤖 Get your photography analyzed by AI.
🌍 Compete with photographers worldwide.
🏆 Climb the rankings and improve your skills.

My goal is to make photography feel like a competitive game where every shot counts.

Would you use an app that ranks your photography using AI and real people's votes? What feature would make you want to open it every day?

I'd love to hear your honest opinions! 🚀

I’ve been building Decision Theatre, a tool that helps people work through difficult decisions using structured prompts inspired by behavioural science.

One thing I’m trying to understand is the gap between someone being curious enough to visit your website and actually trying the product.

A visitor might not understand what the product does, might not see enough value in it, or might understand it perfectly well but not have a compelling reason to try it right now.
Those are very different problems, and I’m figuring out how to tell them apart.

For those who’ve launched products, how did you identify what was stopping people from taking that first step?
Did you focus on landing page messaging, showing the actual product and its outputs, or talking directly to people who visited but didn’t convert?

I’d love to hear what helped you distinguish a positioning problem from a lack of genuine demand.

Built it over the last few weeks. Top 100 is public. https://hypebots.net

A couple of months in the making, and I'm excited to announce that we are ready to go live!

We all know how hard some of you work to get your name out there, and it's hard to cut through the noise sometimes.

We built techbase, to prove who the real hustlers are out there. And there's no doubt a story to share behind it all!
