One thing that’s been surprisingly difficult while building QuickProof is getting from “this looks interesting” to people actually signing up and trying the product. Feels like early-stage SaaS products live in this weird middle ground where you need users to build trust, but you need trust to get users. Curious what changed things for other founders when you were still very early.

Me and a friend are building QuickProof  a B2B SaaS for creative workflow management.

Curious what everyone else is working on these days

Hey everyone,

Currently building QuickProof and realizing that getting the first few users feels way less predictable than building the product itself. The product side has a clear roadmap.Distribution feels like trial and error For founders who’ve been through this, what was the first channel that actually worked for you?

Outreach? Communities? Content? Referrals?

Hey everyone,

Been working on QuickProof, a B2B workflow product, and one thing I’ve realized is that building feels easier than getting the first real users. The product side feels clear. Distribution doesn’t  Trying different things like website feedback, outreach, and communities, but still figuring out what actually works.

For founders who’ve been through this stage, what helped you get your first few users?

Let’s see what everyone’s building

Mine’s QuickProof  B2B workflow tool for managing tasks, feedback, files, and approvals in one place.

At some point, instead of improving the workflow, you just start adapting to it. You remember where things are, how updates usually come in, and what needs to be double-checked before moving forward. It works, but it’s more about adjusting yourself to the system than the system actually becoming easier. Over time, that effort becomes normal, even if it’s not efficient. Been noticing this while working on QuickProof (still in development).

Some days I don’t feel dizzy in the usual sense, nothing spinning, but I still feel off. Like my balance isn’t fully right or my body just feels slightly out of sync. It’s subtle but enough to notice, and it makes normal things feel a bit harder. Does anyone else get this kind of feeling even without full dizziness?

I have been trying different tools for managing creative work, especially where tasks move through stages like drafting, feedback, and approval. Most setups look organized at first, but in practice it often feels like I am just tracking work across too many places instead of actually doing it. I have been thinking about this while working on QuickProof (still in development), a B2B tool for creative teams to manage tasks across each stage, and we are opening early access for small teams, but I am curious if others also feel like productivity tools sometimes add structure without really reducing coordination effort.

Hey everyone,

I’ve been working on something called QuickProof around managing day-to-day work bringing files, tasks, updates, and approvals into one place. It actually started as a small idea focused on feedback, but while building it, I kept running into a bigger issue how disconnected everything feels once you’re using multiple tools together. That’s what pushed me to rethink it into a more complete workflow setup. Still early right now, but I’m starting to open it up to a small number of teams to see how it fits into real use. Keeping it limited to business emails so it stays relevant.

If anyone’s interested in trying it out early, happy to share more.

I don’t think most workflows actually break they still work. But over time:

-steps increase

-dependencies grow

-coordination gets harder

So instead of failing, they just become slower and heavier. Been noticing this while working on QuickProof. Curious if others have seen the same.
