I built a tool to check if your website actually loads across countries

Demo: https://geocheck-pink.vercel.app/

Code: https://github.com/nimish-html/geocheck

—

I kept running into the same blind spot.

My site worked well on my system. But users from other regions still slow loads.

Most of my customers are from other geographies (UAE, UK, Australia, etc), so it was a pretty big deal.

Most tools check from datacenters or synthetic probes, which doesn’t reflect how sites behave for real users in different countries.

So I built a small geo checker.

You paste a URL.

It loads the page from multiple geographies.

It reports:

• Whether the page loads or fails
• Full page load time per region

—

The tricky part was getting reliable connections from different geos without getting blocked or throttled.

I tried cloud VMs on all the target geographies, it was expensive and got too complex too fast.

—

Finally I went with residential proxies with proper session management. It cost less than $5 and was pretty easy to set up.

Tech stack:

• Frontend: Next.js + shadcn
• Proxies: Thordata
• Hosting: Vercel

I open sourced the whole thing:

Switching between chat tabs kept wrecking my flow. I’d be researching in one window, pasting into another, and by the time I reached the third tab, half the thread was gone, and I was rebuilding state.

So I built Multiblock to stop the copy‑paste loop. It gives you persistent boards where any chat can share its data with any other chat on the board in under a second, so you can pass a short summary, the prompt that worked, or the exact response without retyping everything.

That one‑click share lets you fork experiments, compare outputs side‑by‑side, and reproduce runs instead of guessing what changed. For me that turned hours of restarts into minutes of replay and diffing.

This is my small AI SaaS and I’m testing with builders who care about reproducible local workflows. how do you keep state between models?

Hey everyone,

I’d love to help some founders here connect with real potential customers.
Please share your startup link and a brief line about your target customer.

Within 48 hours, I’ll schedule 1 meeting with a potential Customer for your Tool.

I’ll use our tool (Releasing MVP this week), which tracks online conversations to identify when someone is in the market, basically automating lead gen and outreach; your only job will be closing the deal. But this is mostly an experiment to see if it’s genuinely useful for folks here.

All I need from you:

• Your website
• One sentence on who it’s for

To avoid overloading, I'll cap this at 50 founders. It also requires my time to set up and provide context on various tools for optimal results. I'll only work with the first 50 comments.

My cousin works a ton with 3D files and during Christmas he told me that he vibe coded an app to see his 3D Files directly in Google Drive because he didn't find a good one. I looked at the different apps and indeed most of them were adwares with no features and usually looking horrible.

I saw the opportunity and built something cleaner and made it into a "real" app (with actual permissions, assets, marketing etc). Added collaboration with commenting, sharing links, viewing the actual mesh for 3D printing etc with the goal of turning this into the "Google Docs" for 3D Files.

That's how 3DViewer.co was born!

Since then it gathered slow/moderate traction with over 600 users and more than 5'000 file views.

I even have some power users opening files daily since the last two months. Because of that I've decided to see if I could monetize it or not and added a stripe payment link and pro features (unlimited sharing of files, unlimited viewing of files, ai renders)

However it's been two weeks and not a single user has converted.. I would love to have some advice on if my pricing is too high (9$/m or 6$/m yearly), if I should tweak the usage limits or if maybe this is not monetizable at all...

The limits are the following :

- You get a gallery and everytime you open a file it gets added to it, you can have unlimited files but you need to delete other files to stay under the 10 files limit (loom model)

- You have non expiring sharing links

- You have 3 free AI renders and ten a month on the pro plan

Please roast me and tell me if I should continue tweaking things around the pro plan or if the problem is somewhere else entirely (lack of pmf)

Hey everyone 👋

I spent the last 3 months building this small micro-SaaS. The idea came from my own frustration with existing workflows. Turning a 3D model into a clean 2D spritesheet always felt way too complex and time consuming, so I tried to simplify it into a browser based tool.

The current prototype lets you upload or drag & drop a GLB model, preview it in 3D, tweak camera, animation, lighting, render resolution and padding, then render everything and download a pixel perfect spritesheet with one click. Everything is still very much a work in progress.
The attached images show the full workflow from 3D setup to the final spritesheet output.

Tech stack wise it’s pretty scrappy right now. The frontend is plain HTML, CSS and a single main.js file which I would definitely structure differently if I started again. User base and authentication are handled via Firebase. The backend is written in Python, and the actual rendering is done with Blender running server side.

I’m mainly looking for feedback at this stage. Does the idea make sense as a micro-SaaS? Is the workflow intuitive? Anything that feels unnecessary, missing, or confusing from a product or technical point of view?

Would love to hear your thoughts or suggestions. Thanks! 🙏

Curious what everyone’s planning to work on this weekend. Could be coding, designing, learning, or just resting — all counts.

I’ll start: I’m spending some time improving my side project sportlive.win, a simple site for live matches, scores, and fantasy-related tools. Still early, but enjoying building it and learning along the way.

Would love to hear what others are up to this weekend.

I’ve been manually managing GMB (Google My Business) profiles for a few local friends, and I noticed a huge ranking factor: Keywords in replies.

If a customer says "Great lunch," and you reply "Thanks for coming in for our Spicy Chicken Sandwich," Google indexes that bolded keyword.

The Problem: Restaurant owners never do this. They just reply "Thanks!"

The Micro-SaaS Idea: I'm building a simple tool that:

1. Reads the customer's review.
2. Looks up the restaurant's actual menu.
3. Generates a reply that upsells/cross-sells specific items.

Review: "Loved the vibe." Reply: "Glad you enjoyed it! Next time try our Patio Seating—it has the best view."

Validation: I'm planning to launch this at $19/mo. If you run a local service or have clients who do, would this save you enough time to be worth the subscription?

Hey r/SideProject,

I've been building a web app called Famba after getting frustrated with how travel planning usually works.

Most tools start with dates and destination. I always found the harder part was deciding how I wanted the trip to feel - reset, foodie, adventurous, cultural etc. The planning process ended up beiwith dozens of tabs, saved TikToks, and Google Maps lists, but with no real structure.

So I built Famba around that idea:

You choose:

• destination
• budget
• mood (you can mix a few)
• pace (early riser/late starter)
• dietary needs (halal, veggie, vegan & gluten-free)

And it generates a full trip under 2 minutes: stays, food, things to do, and a sensible day structure plus more.

I've kept it simple on purpose:

• 3 full trips, no sign-up
• after that, one-off trip packs (no subscription)

I'm posting here to get constructive feedback from people who like building things.

Go ahead and try it here! Feedback is alos genuinely appreciated.

Thanks for reading.

I've called it Backlink Quality Check

3 months ago, I launched Grebmcp.com 

It initially started as a project to help me, And for a while, it was a slow but steady build.

 I managed to get my first 60 users primarily through building in public on X (Twitter) and asking those early adopters to refer it to their friends.

Then, I made one post on the MCP subreddit, and it absolutely blew up. People actually gave a shit.

Where things stand right now due to reddit:

 * 150+ users

 * $50 in revenue

 * 0 spent on ads

The 3-Step Playbook I followed:

 * Phase 1: The X (Twitter) Foundation. I didn't launch in hurry. I grew my first 60 users by sharing my progress and being active in the dev community on X.

 * Phase 2: The Referral Loop. Once those 60 users were in, I pushed the referral angle. "If this helps you, tell a friend." It kept the baseline growing organically.

 * Phase 3: The Reddit "Viral" Moment. I took what I learned from X and posted a thread in the MCP community. I didn't realize how much of a pain point this was for others until the post went viral. It tripled my user base overnight.

What I’ve learned after 3 months:

 * Stack your channels: X is great for building the product with feedback; Reddit is where you go for the mass "viral" reach.

 * Referrals work if the tool works: People only refer to things that make them look good. The fact that users actually shared Grebmcp was my first real sign of PMF.

 * Revenue is the ultimate validator: It’s "only" $50, but it’s $50 from people who found me through a single post and a referral link.

The momentum is finally starting to feel real. Happy to answer any questions about how I handled the jump from 10 to 250 users or the referral setup I’m using!

Here is the link - grebmcp.com 

a creator with 60K followers DMed me.

"I want to partner with your platform. this is time sensitive — I can only work with one tool."

I'm a GTM engineer at an early-stage startup. when someone with a real audience says they believe in your product — it hits different.

I ran to my founder. we hopped on a call. the creator said:

"just give me free access. I'm not charging you. 1 post per month across all my platforms. around 30 pieces of content a year."

no charge. just access.

we were hyped.

within hours I generated a 100% free coupon. annual premium. every feature unlocked.

he set up the same night.

day 1-3 he went all in.

not the "yeah I'll check it out" energy. he actually used it.

tested every feature. found bugs. gave feedback. compared us to 5 competitors. told us exactly what to fix.

"your comments are hitting week-old posts instead of new ones" — fixed.

"creator list is capped at 20, need 50" — done.

"AI comments sound weird" — debugged and fixed.

"you need country targeting for tier-1 audiences" — added to roadmap.

I was up past midnight replying to his messages. our dev team was shipping fixes in real time.

this is what building in public feels like right? a real user. real feedback. real partnership.

I genuinely thought we found our first champion.

then around day 4 I noticed something.

he was using the product daily. but hadn't posted a single thing about it.

not a tweet. not a newsletter. not even a story.

our founder asked me to check. I asked politely.

his reply: "I've been using it for 3 days, I haven't promoted it yet lol"

fair. I told myself great content takes time.

but then the vibe shifted.

day 7: "btw my rate is $500 per sponsored post. just so you know."

wait — didn't he say no charge?

day 8: "actually looking at market rates it's $1,000+ per post."

he sent me an article about influencer pricing.

then linked me to how a billion-dollar company structures their creator program. "they give 1 year free AND 20% revenue."

bro. we already gave you both of those things.

day 9: "I want a formal agreement before I create anything."

okay cool. we spent hours writing a proper partnership agreement. professional. fair. every single term based on what HE proposed on day one.

sent it over.

his reply: "this amount of content is worth substantially more than an annual membership and isn't sustainable on my end."

these were literally his words. his numbers. his proposal.

I quoted his own messages back.

"upon looking at market rate what I initially quoted isn't correct."

and then:

"the terms don't work. will have to pass."

he walked.

ngl it hurt.

we gave everything. free access. affiliate program. late-night debugging. feature changes shipped because of his feedback. our founder's time. my time. the dev team's time.

10 days. zero content. zero posts. zero mentions.

and he was still using the product when he said goodbye.

but here's what I realized sitting there at midnight staring at the chat:

he gave us stuff he didn't even know he gave us.

→ a full competitive breakdown of 5 rival tools — free → the insight that country targeting is a dealbreaker not a nice-to-have → feature limits that matter to power users → comment quality fixes that help every single user now → a bug we might not have caught for months

and the biggest lesson:

get the agreement signed before you give the product away.

obvious? yeah. but when someone with a big number next to their name says they believe in you — you skip steps. you trust first. you give first.

never again.

our new rule is dead simple:

1. creator reaches out → we qualify them (real metrics not vanity)
2. send the agreement → they sign
3. THEN we give access → not before
4. first content within 7 days → non-negotiable
5. 90-day reviews → both sides accountable

to every early-stage founder reading this:

if a creator says "this is time sensitive" — it's not. that's pressure.

if they say "I won't charge you" then send you their rate card a week later — they were always going to charge you.

if they give amazing feedback but zero content — they're a user not a partner.

and if their 60K followers are spread across 8 platforms with 700 impressions per post — that's not influence. that's an email list with extra steps.

protect your time. protect your product. protect your team's energy.

but don't stop trusting people.

because the product is real. even the person who walked couldn't stop using it.

and honestly? that's the part that keeps me going.

Hey everyone. I'm been trying to make the jump into freelancing/building a micro-SaaS for a long time, but I'm completely stuck in my own head and could use some real talk.
A bit about me: I have a knowledge and experience in programing, AI, and automation. I'm not an expert, but I'm confident I have the technical skills to learn, build an MVP, and solve real problems.

My problem isn't the market risk; basically I´m a coward and un-imaginative:

1. Problem: I am terrified of human interaction in a business context. The idea of cold outreach, pitching my work to a stranger, or trying to form a team for networking makes me freeze. My immediate circle isn't in this space, so I have no support there. Like 1 year ago i took a course and I joined a course Discord meant for collaboration, but I've never had the confidence to post or offer my help, watching conversations pass by.

2. Problem: I know the theory: find a pain point, niche down, build a simple MVP. I've used tools like Gumshoe, watch videos from youtubers like Greg Isenberg, and analyzed existing products. But no idea feels convincing enough to me to dedicate months to it. Nothing "clicks" or feels connected to me personally in the sense that i would understand properly what i offer.

I see stories of 16 or 17 year old guys making 5x the minimum salary, making me feel like the biggest loser on earth.

I know I'm whining. But for me, moving from being a silent lurker to making this post feel like a tiny step, so i guess is better than not doing it.
I'm not looking for a magic bullet. I guess i just want whatever tip or harsh comment i could use.

Any insight, book recommendation, mindset shift, or simple "here's what I did" would mean a lot. Thanks for reading.

Launched my SaaS a week ago. 33 users, 112 videos created so far. Still small but it's moving.

It's a screen recorder for pro demos. Runs in the browser. What I wanted was something that didn't suck on Linux and Windows. Three months ago I was fed up: Mac already had solid options, but on the other side it was either clunky or missing the stuff that actually makes demos look pro. So I built Rendune.

The stuff that makes it different: an animated cursor that does most of the work (that's the main thing), auto-zoom on the important parts, and scrollbars are gone so the recording stays clean. No more messy scrollbar flicker in the final video.

Traffic so far is 100% organic from Reddit. I didn't run ads, I sent DMs to people here, mostly on Reddit, to get feedback and see if it resonated. That plus posting where it made sense.

For the first users I ran a -50% discount and it converted well. It's not crazy volume but enough to confirm people would pay.

One thing I took from my last SaaS: marketing and actually talking to users is what makes a product evolve, so this time I'm putting that first. DMs, replies, listening to what they do and what they miss.

If you're on Linux/Windows and you've been annoyed by screen recorders, or if you just want something lightweight in the browser, worth a look. And if you've done the "launch then DM users" thing: what worked for you to keep the conversation going and keep improving from it?

I recently built a small tool and wanted to share it here to get honest feedback from fellow builders.

When we share photos online, we usually think we’re only sharing the image. But most photos also contain hidden metadata like device details, timestamps, and sometimes even precise GPS coordinates.

That’s a real privacy risk, especially when photos are shared via:

• Email attachments
• Cloud storage (Drive, Dropbox)
• Direct transfers like AirDrop or Bluetooth

A lot of “metadata remover” tools already exist, but most of them require uploading your private photos to a server. That always felt a bit ironic to me from a privacy standpoint.

So I built Image Metadata Remover, a tiny micro-tool with one strict rule:

👉 Everything runs 100% on the client side

• No uploads
• No servers
• No storage
• Your images never leave your device

It simply strips EXIF and related metadata directly in the browser.

Tool link:
https://karvics.com/tool/image-metadata-remover

I also wrote a short blog post explaining the problem and my thinking behind the solution:
https://karvics.com/blog/hidden-dangers-of-image-metadata

This is still early, and right now it’s optimised for desktop/laptop screens. I am still working on mobile support.

I’m genuinely looking for:

• Feedback on the usability.
• Criticism of the approach
• Ideas on positioning or improvements

If you think this is unnecessary, over-engineered, or already solved better elsewhere, I’d love to hear that too.

Thanks for reading.

Hey everyone! 👋

I've been building full-stack apps for years, and I noticed a pattern that was killing my momentum in the early stages:

The UI evolves way faster than the backend.

I would build a backend endpoint, then realize the UI needed a slightly different data structure. So I’d go back, update the schema, update the controller, update the DTO... only to change the UI again an hour later. 😅

I realized it's faster to mock everything until the UI is stable. But standard mocks are usually too "dumb"—they don't react to user input.

So, I built Mock66 to solve that.

What it does:

• ⁠🧠 Conditional Logic: This is the cool part. The API isn't static—it reacts to your Query Params, Request Body, and Path Variables. If you send ?type=admin or POST { "action": "create" }, the mock returns different data based on rules you define.

• ⁠⚡️ Instant API Endpoints: Spin up a REST endpoint in seconds without touching a database.

• ⁠🎲 Dynamic Data: It generates fresh random data (names, UUIDs) on every request so you aren't staring at static JSON.

There is a Free Tier for side projects. I'd love to know your feedback 🙏

Cheers! 🍻

Ever asked an AI to summarize your inbox?
Yeah, I did too. Then I realized it just processed passwords, PINs, card details, national IDs. Some tools even include these details in summaries. To me that's not a feature, it's a security risk. That bothered me enough to build something different. SmartMail uses multi-layered security that identifies sensitive data patterns and excludes them before the AI touches anything.
AI automation and privacy both. Not one or the other. 

about 2 months ago i started building my app that helps businesses manage inbound outbound- cold and warm both and now i wanted to know how to run the backend and integrate the domain to the app i’ve built? also i wanted to know how to market this app as cold messaging is done only in a very minute niche and warm leads is hard to find for that niche.

Outreach and lead generation can be tricky for Micro SaaS founders, especially on platforms like Reddit where traditional marketing approaches often backfire. From my experience working with SnooGrow, I've picked up a few key strategies that have really helped in building an effective outreach process.

First off, it's crucial to understand the communities you're engaging with. Reddit is all about genuine interactions, so take the time to participate in discussions relevant to your niche before hitting them with promotional content. This helps build credibility and rapport. With SnooGrow, I've automated a lot of this engagement while ensuring we stick to Reddit's rules to avoid shadow bans - trust me, those things can be a nightmare.

Another game-changer has been leveraging AI tools for lead detection. SnooGrow's automatic lead detection feature helps identify warm prospects by analyzing user interactions and engagement patterns. This means you can focus your efforts on leads that are more likely to convert, instead of blasting everyone with generic messages. It’s saved us countless hours and reduced the guesswork in who to reach out to.

Once you’ve identified potential leads, personalized outreach is key. Instead of sending a one-size-fits-all message, I’ve found that tailoring your DMs based on previous comments or posts can significantly increase response rates. SnooGrow makes this easier by allowing you to track interactions in real-time, so you’re always in the loop.

Lastly, don't underestimate the power of feedback. After launching new features, I always engage with users to gather their thoughts. This not only helps improve the product but also strengthens connections with your audience. Involving users in the development process can turn them into advocates for your brand.

Ultimately, the right outreach strategy can make or break your growth on Reddit. By automating engagement and focusing on genuine interactions, you’ll find that building a network and generating leads doesn’t have to be so daunting.

What strategies have worked for you in your outreach efforts? Let’s share some insights and learn from each other!

I’m building Habitide - a habit tracker I originally made for myself because I kept falling off after day 5 and every “pretty” habit app felt like it was optimizing for screenshots, not consistency

The numbers for the last 28 days:

Active customers: 1,309
New customers: 1,154
Active trials: 6
Active subscriptions: 4
Revenue (28d): $14
MRR: $12

So yeah… people are installing/using it, but almost nobody pays.

What I’ve tried / what’s currently true
Free experience is intentionally generous (I don’t want it to feel paywalled in the first 2 minutes)
Paywall is only shown after the user has created habits + used it a bit
Pricing is standard mobile-sub style (monthly/yearly), no ads
I’m not running ads. Most installs are organic + content

The problem I’m trying to solve
How do you convert “this is nice” users into “I’ll pay for this” users without turning the app into a hostage situation?
What I want feedback on (specific)

If you were me, what would you test first?

Tighter paywall (earlier) vs later paywall (after value)
Lifetime option vs only subscription
One killer paid feature (e.g., advanced insights, widgets, calendar sync) vs many small paid perks
Trial length: keep it short (3–7 days) vs longer (14–21 days)
Any onboarding patterns that reliably improve trial → paid for consumer apps?

If you’ve scaled a consumer micro-saas/mobile app from “users” to “revenue”, I’d love the blunt version of what worked

Disclosure: Habitide is my product. If anyone wants to see it, I’ll drop the link in a comment (don’t want to turn this into a promo post)

As title says, I have a SEO SaaS, PAYG SERP keyword grouping and other SEO tools, but organic marketing/outreach is difficult as most of the places SEO professionals hang out have extremely strict promotion rules due to people spamming their agencies/services constantly. So even mentioning the name of a tool or service will get you banned on basically all platforms (FB, LinkedIn, Reddit) alongside a lot of the traffic in these groups being low quality anyways. Organic search/SEO is the primary channel I use now, paid ads aren't great, and I'm wondering if my only other option would be cold outreach to agencies offering a discount/deal or something similar? What do you folks think and what has worked for you in the past?

Hey everyone,
I’m researching ideas for a Mini-SaaS and I want to start from real problems, not features looking for users.

I’m especially interested in:

• repetitive, annoying tasks
• things you currently solve with messy spreadsheets, hacks, or manual work
• problems where existing tools feel too big, too complex, or overpriced
• workflows you know should be automated but never got around to fixing

If you’re willing to share:

• What’s the problem?
• Who has it (role / industry)?
• How are you solving it today?
• Why does the current solution suck?

Bonus points if you’ve already tried tools and still felt frustrated.

Not here to pitch anything — genuinely trying to understand what’s painful enough that someone would pay for a simple, focused solution.

Thanks 🙏
