Hi guys, the question is in the title. just thinking about change my saas name but i dont wanna start with 0 days .com as I don't want to lose other people trust just based on domain age.

is there a good place for it?

bought a list of 5,000 "verified" restaurant leads in the Southeast. ran basic validation myself.

- 31% of phone numbers disconnected

- 18% of businesses had permanently closed

- 11% were duplicate entries

- emails had a 67% bounce rate

the vendor told me data was "updated quarterly." that means a business that closed in January is still on your list in October.

the local business lead gen industry is running on vaporware and nobody talks about it because everyone's too embarrassed to admit they got taken.

is there any tool that actually pulls live data? because I'm furious and done buying historical CSVs.

was paying $49/mo for warmup tool. Cancelled it as an experiment. Set up SPF, DKIM, DMARC properly, started at 10 emails/day, ramped to 40 over 3 weeks.

Inbox rate went from 72% WITH warmup to 89% WITHOUT it.

Starting to think the entire warmup industry is a scam built on fear. Google can clearly detect fake engagement from warmup pools thousands of accounts all opening each other's emails in perfect patterns. They just ignore it.

The $49/mo I saved now goes toward better lead data. Which actually improved my reply rates more than warmup ever did.

Am I wrong? Someone convince me warmup tools actually do something.

I know it might sound a bit rage bate, but I convinced the web design business is dying, fast. maybe not for the ones with good connections and good reputation, but for the rest of us that are just started our journey seems no luck at all! not saying this to make you disappointed, just saying it because its getting harder and harder everyday to land a lead, closing the deal seems too far. all these years learning the one you love and suddenly you cant make money from it feels not great. just trying to share this and see what's your thought on this. sorry for not perfect written in english i canceled my grammarly subscription to make it beautiful.

been collecting the best fully free + open source tailwind marketing block/component libraries lately.

my current favorites:

• HyperUI → probably the cleanest free Tailwind component library for modern SaaS and marketing websites.
• Preline UI → huge collection of polished Tailwind components with great interactions and layouts.
• Flowbite → production-ready Tailwind UI kit with strong app + marketing support.
• OpenTailwind → massive open-source library focused on marketing blocks and landing page templates.
• Tailblocks → simple lightweight Tailwind blocks that are easy to copy, customize, and ship fast.all are actually usable in production and not fake “free” libraries with everything locked behind paywalls.

curious what other hidden gems people here are using lately.

Hey all,

I’ve been running a small agency and we’ve been hovering around ~$20k/month for almost a year now. not declining, but not really growing either.

we’ve tried the usual stuff: outbound (cold email, some linkedin), referrals (this is still our best channel), a bit of paid, but nothing crazy

feels like we hit some kind of plateau.

lately i’ve been thinking more about automation and systems, especially around lead gen, onboarding, and delivery. not sure if that’s the right lever or if i’m just avoiding a bigger issue (like positioning or offer).

dont promote your tools please, just share real experience.
