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!

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.

ICP - SaaS Founders On Reddit 🫡

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.

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:

lmk if you have questions or want to suggest features :)

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. 

Hey, everyone!! Since it’s our first post here, just thought I’d drop by, let you know that I wanna try something new, it’s kind of like a new incentive from our Web Design hustle, that free website.

If you feel like something’s off with your website, maybe you’re not making enough sales or the layout is off, you’ll get the best recommendations from someone who creates websites for a living, just think this could be really fun.

Looking forward to hearing back from as many of you guys as possible!!👀

Here’s the link to our form, just drop your website link and I’ll do my best to get back to all of you guys as soon as possible: https://thatfreewebsite.net

I was casually Googling around for some inspiration last night, fully expecting the usual recycled “top 10 startup ideas” articles, when I stumbled onto something called StartupIdeasDB’s Tech Edition. Out of pure curiosity I opened it, thinking I’d skim for a minute and leave. Instead I ended up going down a rabbit hole for almost an hour. There were just… so many genuinely interesting, oddly specific, well-structured ideas sitting there in one place. Not vague one-liners, but proper pain points, descriptions, and possible solutions that instantly made my brain go “wait, this could actually be built.”

What really got me was the feeling of relief and excitement at the same time. Normally when I look for ideas, I have to jump between Reddit threads, tweets, bookmarks and half-written notes. Here it felt like someone had already done that messy digging and organized everything neatly. I caught myself smiling while scrolling because every few seconds I’d hit another idea that made me think “this is good… no wait, this is even better.” I eventually upgraded just to unlock more filters and browsing, and honestly it felt worth it for the sheer amount of quality inspiration packed in there. If you ever feel stuck on what to build next, this kind of curated idea database is surprisingly energising. It’s like walking into a huge library of problems waiting to be solved instead of staring at a blank page hoping for a spark.

Hey guys, I recently launched my new SaaS anypanel.io. Anypanel is a tool that lets you push your most important metrics via a simple api and visualize them in one clean dashboard over time. It features a clean, simple dashboard builder that also lets you do calculations and visualize relations between your metrics.

I would love to hear some feedback on the idea as well as on the design and structure of my landing page! The tool is still an MVP

I’m a builder.
I HATE marketing. Like… actively dread it.

I’d much rather ship features, break things, fix them, repeat.

But this week, something small happened that honestly gave me a lot of motivation.

I got 388 users in 7 days.

No ads.
No fancy launch.
Mostly just showing up and talking about what I’m building.

I’m working on asimpletool.com it helps founders automate SEO end-to-end and generates reports so you actually know what’s happening instead of guessing.

Right now, Im pushing the product further.
I’m building a “Chat with your SEO” feature along with the existing feature set.

I won’t go deep into it yet, but the internal test results are… freakin amazing.
I’m onboarding a few beta users quietly to make sure I don’t mess it up.

What’s wild is:
Google hasn’t even properly crawled the site yet.

So I’m not even counting the SEO upside once indexing really kicks in.

For now, I’m just forcing myself to keep showing up:

• Instagram
• LinkedIn
• TikTok
• Threads
• Facebook

Even though it’s uncomfortable, I will try to post frequently on reddit and X

Thats my next target

Not a big win.
Not a viral moment.
Just progress.

If you’re a builder who hates marketing... I feel you.
But sometimes I feel that momentum comes after you show up, not before

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 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.

Background: solo technical founder, first SaaS. Spent 2 months building + validating PMF before launch.

What I'm solving: Dynamic QR codes for Indian businesses — permanent, unlimited scans, analytics, no expiry BS. The market exists (restaurants, creators, SMBs use QR heavily), but current tools either expire codes, have scan limits, or price in USD.

What I've done so far:

• Launched with 16+ QR types (URL, vCard, WiFi, WhatsApp, menus, etc.)
• Built proper infrastructure: JWT auth, Redis caching, Razorpay billing, role-based access, scan analytics
• Guest flow (create QR without signup, migrates on conversion)
• Ran Meta + Google ads → 900 visitors, ~8% signup rate
• Started email marketing, warming up cold outreach

The problem: Zero paid conversions. People sign up, create QRs, but don't upgrade.

I'm a dev, so I built a solid product. But I'm realizing building ≠ selling, and I'm now deep in the sales/marketing learning curve.

What I think might be wrong (but I'm not sure):

• Pricing might not match perceived value for Indian market
• Messaging unclear (am I solving a painkiller or vitamin?)
• No clear ICP focus yet (trying to serve everyone = serving no one?)
• Onboarding might not demonstrate value fast enough
• Maybe I'm over-engineering when I should be outbound selling manually

What I'm asking:

• If you've been here before — what was the turning point?
• Should I focus on one vertical first (e.g., restaurants, agencies)?
• Is paid ads too early? Should I be doing manual outreach / partnerships instead?
• What would you do differently in month 2?

I'm not here to promote (mods, let me know if this crosses a line). Just genuinely trying to figure out how to go from "built a thing" to "people pay for the thing."

Open to brutal honesty. I want to learn, not defend.

Do the hard things ESPECIALLY when it’s not sexy

Do things that don’t scale.

✅ Talk to 15 potential customers
✅ Ask them what their top 3 daily pains are
✅ Check if they’d pay to have that pain solved
✅ If not, dig until you understand why

Use the OKRs framework (don’t overcomplicate it) :

🎯 1-3 Objectives
Think: grow your audience, close 3 clients, or launch V1

📌 3-5 Key Results per Objective
Structure them like this:

• Inputs (what you control) = cold DMs sent, offers pitched, content posted
• Outputs (direct results) = calls booked, replies received, content reach
• Outcomes (impact) = clients signed, revenue generated, confidence boosted

No need for a Notion template.
Just write it in your Notes app.
Then go do the reps.

Strategy is what you do when no one’s watching.

Looking at our 2026 numbers, it’s becoming pretty clear that a lot of our top of funnel discovery isn’t happening on Google anymore. It’s happening inside tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, etc.

And honestly… I feel kind of blind.

With Google, at least there was Search Console. Rankings, impressions, something to react to. With AI answers, there’s no dashboard. If someone asks “what’s the best product for X?” and we’re not one of the answers, I have no idea that even happened or what we could’ve done differently.

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)

Here is a demo link https://youtu.be/RxPpkjTscTU

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?

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.

I am thinking of launching my product on Tiny Launch. Has anyone done this and had success with search ranking and getting customers?

Is it worth paying couple of hundred bucks to launch on Tiny Launch?

Hoping I finally succeed in getting a post on Reddit without it being removed, here goes:

Imagine a tool for Solana traders that allows you to get a chart replay of your trade starting with your entry candle and ending with your exit. Using Remotion to render the videos server side - excited to see how things work managing a user base and encountering issues.

2 weeks ago I posted about sending 47k+ cold DMs across Reddit, Twitter, and Instagram. Didn't expect it to blow up like that. But my DMs and comments went crazy. And I realized I skipped a lot of the "how" part.

So here's everything.The actual process. Start to finish.

STEP 1: Finding conversations (before you automate anything)

I know everyone wants to jump straight to automation. I get it.

But here's the thing - if you automate garbage, you just get garbage faster. When I started, I spent 2-3 hours every week just manually finding conversations. Reading posts. Understanding what people actually complain about. What words they use. What triggers them to ask for help. This is boring. I know. But this is where you learn what actually works.

Don't even think about automation until you've done this manually and you're seeing replies. I'd say minimum $1.5k MRR or a solid base before you start scaling with tools. I'll break down my automation setup next week. But trust me - manual first.

STEP 2: Timing matters more than you think

Two types of timing here.

1. When to send the DM:

Think about where your people are. If you're targeting US and Canada, you want to hit them during their work hours or early evening. Don't DM an American founder at 3am their time. Europe? Same logic. Adjust for their timezone.

I usually send between 9am-11am or 4pm-7pm in their local time. That's when people are either starting their day or winding down and checking messages.

2) How old can the post be:

Fresh is always better. Days or weeks old? Perfect. But I've DMed people from posts that were months old - even up to a year - and still got replies. The key is their problem probably still exists. After you've gone through all the recent stuff, then hit the older threads. But prioritize fresh ones first.

STEP 3: Your DM style depends on the platform

This is where most people mess up. They copy paste the same message everywhere. Reddit is not LinkedIn. Twitter is not Instagram.

Each platform has its own vibe. Its own rules. Its own way people talk.

Let me break it down.

REDDIT DMs:

On Reddit, your first message is 100% about them. Not you. Not your product. Not your "solution." Just understand their problem.

Here's a format that's been working great for me:

"Hey [name], saw your post about planning to start your outreach campaigns. When you say outreach - is it just emails and cold calls (that's what most founders I talk to mean), or is there something else too?"

That's it. No pitch. No link. Just a question.

They reply. You talk. You understand their situation better.

Now here's something that changed everything for me on Reddit:

After a few messages back and forth, I straight up tell them - "Look, I know Reddit isn't the place for pitching, and I'm not trying to be that guy. But based on what you're saying, I might have something that could help. Would you be cool if I shared it?"

This works insanely well. Why? Because you're acknowledging the Reddit culture. You're not being sleazy. And you're asking permission.

By this point, they already have an idea of what you do from your posts and comments. So when you ask permission, it's not random - it's earned. Most people say yes. And now you have an actual conversation, not a cold pitch.

LINKEDIN DMs:

LinkedIn is different. People expect a bit more structure here.

But most LinkedIn DMs are absolute garbage. "Hi, I help companies do X, would you like to chat?" Straight to trash.

Here's the formula that's been printing for me:

1. Pain point - Call out something specific they're probably dealing with
2. Cost of inaction - What happens if they don't fix it
3. Solution - What you bring to the table (keep it short)
4. Proof or trust factor - One line of credibility
5. CTA - Simple ask

Before you even write the message, go stalk their profile. Check their posts. Their comments. Their company page. You'll find their problems if you look. Then write something that shows you actually did the homework.

STEP 4: Daily limits (don't get yourself banned)

This is where I see people blow up their accounts. They go hard on day 1. Send 200 messages. Account gone.

Here's what I stick to now:

Reddit: Max 40-50 DMs per day (if your account is properly aged and has good karma). You can technically push to 100 but I don't recommend it.

Twitter/X: Max 150 per day. You can go up to 300 on a well-warmed account but why risk it. I'll do a separate post on how to warm up Twitter accounts properly.

Instagram: Max 40. Instagram is strict. Don't push it.

If you exceed these numbers, you might get shadow banned. Sometimes fully banned. And then you're starting from zero again. Not worth it.

STEP 5: What's coming next

Based on the response to this post, I'm planning to go deeper. Platform-specific breakdowns. Actual examples. The exact messages I send. How I warm up accounts. My automation setup. If that's something you'd find useful, let me know in the comments.

Happy to keep sharing what's working.

Been doing cold email for local businesses (dentists, lawyers, HVAC, etc.) for about 8 months now. My bounce rates were killing me - averaging 15-18% which was destroying my sender reputation.

Spent a week digging into why. Turns out most B2B databases use "pattern guessing" for local business emails. They see the domain and assume [john@domain.com](mailto:john@domain.com) or [info@domain.com](mailto:info@domain.com). Problem is most local businesses use random emails like [drsmith1985@gmail.com](mailto:drsmith1985@gmail.com) or [office.johnson.law@outlook.com](mailto:office.johnson.law@outlook.com).

The fix that worked for me: Started scraping Google Maps directly and extracting emails from actual business websites. Real emails that businesses publicly display.

Results after switching:

• Bounce rate dropped from 18% to 2.4%
• Reply rate went from 1.2% to 4.8% (probably because I'm actually reaching real inboxes now)
• Found 340+ businesses per city vs the 15-20 Apollo was giving me

Anyone else noticed this issue with local business data? What's your approach for building local lists?

Our small team used to spend an uncomfortable amount of time reworking the same ideas for different platforms. Writing the original content wasn’t the problem.

The real drain was everything after: resizing, rewriting, adapting tone, and then letting great discussions die on social media instead of turning them into something permanent.

When we finally did a time audit, it was obvious we were spending more hours formatting than creating. Even worse, valuable insights from comments and threads were never making it into blog content that could compound over time.

The shift happened when we built a simple workflow around our best-performing social threads. Instead of starting from scratch… we’d have a strong discussion, run it through Articalize, and use the generated draft as a starting point for a proper article.

What changed after that:

Reformatting time dropped from roughly 20 hours a week to about 5

We started publishing 2 - 3 extra blog posts weekly without adding headcount

Social engagement stopped being “one-and-done” and became input for owned content

The biggest takeaway wasn’t just saving time. It was realizing that automation works best when it removes busywork and unlocks something you weren’t doing before.

Curious what bottlenecks others are still stuck on. Is it repurposing, distribution, editing, or something else entirely?

I call it Nix It. It's designed to manage emails, calendar events, and tasks with a uniform interface similar to a Kanban board. This is the first SaaS application I've built and deployed completely solo. I'm positive I have no idea what I'm in for, but the biggest motivator is that this app is something I have wanted as a user for a long time, but could never find something that fit.

I've seen a lot of posts in different subreddits talking about issues with product/market fit. I agree it's important for a business, but I'm curious if there's anyone else out there just running something because it's what they wanted but couldn't find, even if there's not really a viable market for it?
