I vibe coded a product guys. I thought these models are good to handle large and complex systems. It was at the surface.

I now have paying customers and people who love the product.

But it’s buggy. States are broken. Literally users are so frustrated with some of the things in the product that’s inconsistent.

I spoke to two hard core users for an hour. The notes I took just completely destroyed me. I don’t even know where to start. I feel like if I end yup fixing something, something else will be broken. It feels like a mess. I don’t know what to do. Should I keep going? Should I pause in all features and focus on stability? Should I look for technical support? Am I doomed?

I have a product in the market.

90 days in the market
160+ users
Genuinely enjoying the product (100s of product events every day)
Clearly delivering value (3 to 4x better results than other products in the market) - said by 2 customers
4 paid users so far.
80% of them still trialing. I don’t expect a lot to convert. I don’t know what’s the average conversion rate in the market.
15 to 17 daily active users - again most are trialing (I'm giving one month trial and my CAC is about $4-7 for the monthly trial and about a $1 for the 7 day trial).

Would you spend on ads?
SEO/Content?
Raise funds (not intending to btw).

Just curious..

Hey friends… I’m building mangos.ai - a desktop app that helps you distribute your product across social channels. It finds relevant conversations online and joins them. It knows your git commit history so it knows all your features. Hyper personalized to target the best persona out there, every day or every hour, whatever you set it to.

The thing I just shipped is the one I’m most proud of: a Reddit Prospecting & DM draft agent.

Everyone says Reddit is where your customers actually are. They’re right. The problem is what it takes to use it. Read the thread, click into a profile, scroll someone’s whole history to work out if they fit, then write a DM that doesn’t sound like copy paste spam. Do that for twenty people and your afternoon is gone.

So Mangos does the boring part. Point it at a thread, or let it watch your subreddits, and it finds the people worth messaging, digs through their history to check they fit, and drafts a personal DM in their context. Then it hands you a queue. You read it, tweak it, hit send. It never sends on its own, and it won’t touch accounts that are too new, too low on karma, or have DMs closed. Reddit converts harder than anywhere else for me. Serious buyers, not scrollers.

I shipped the same thing for X a few weeks back, scoring people across 20+ signals before drafting. Same rule everywhere: it only does the research and prioritization. Every message lands in your queue for you to approve, one by one. You stay in control of what gets sent.

I’ve been running it on my own product and it’s been incredible. Website visits while you sleep, and you’ll know it’s not a spam bot the second you use it yourself.

This is my weekly routine here in this sub. And I love it. My expertise is in product, go to market, and agents. And I want to help you!

If you are building something, reply your product here and tell me what you are struggling with. I reply to every single comment on these threads.

If you are interested in Mangos’s extended trial that I give away every week,

\*\*1.\*\* Download Mangos and register. It’s free for 7 days, no CC required.
\*\*2.\*\* DM me the email you signed up with and I’ll unlock a 30 day extension. If you are interested.

Yes, I’ll lose a bit of money on it. The bet is simple: Mangos gets you your first 100 users before you ever pay me. If your product is good, that won’t take long.

Just wondering. 😊

Hello SEO/AEO & Product launch enthusiasts. I see a ton of products and websites helping founders with their distribution.. I think there is a problem right now.

I don’t think there is a single tool that’ll do the job for the founders. It’s more the merrier.. but the whole process is full of friction.

Forms to fill. Images to upload. Branding. And a lot of the tools offer similar journey with different outcomes. Which is great for founders.

I would like to solve this problem bi-directionally.

I’m the founder of Mangos.ai, a full suite social distribution platform. Think of it as gojiberry but at a much smaller scale.

I’d like to partner with as many SEO/AEO and product launch platforms. Have a marketplace for our users to promote on your platform. You win. Founders win. If they win through you, we all win together.

If you are building something in this space, let’s talk.

I’m thinking API or browser automation to really make it easy for founders to do the task. Cut it down to 1 min a week.

Open for ideas. But the current model is broken.

One of the biggest pain points for early stage founders is figuring out whom to talk to. Every wrong person you talk to is time wasted and a risk that convolutes your vision.

I'm building Mangos.ai for founders who are exactly going through this challenge. You have a vision, you can execute on that vision to bring it to life, but you get stuck in the build.

But here is the thing. Distribution is not hard that you need to have some special skill. It's literally doing the boring, mundane, repetitive thing. The moment you stop, someone else gets your ICP's attention.

Below, I showed you how even Codex fails to find conversations on Reddit that are relevant for your product and services. It's not optimized for distribution workflow. And you'll spend insane tokens trying to get Codex to navigate browsers. Don't even try.

https://i.redd.it/2uhdys8h6ugh1.gif

And below I'm showing you how Mangos's MCP server allows you to pull in conversations it found. Look at it's suggested replies. Change it in a way you want, and post it. Right from where you are already (Claude Code or Codex). Mangos knows your business, it has your git commit history to know what you are launching actively, learns from every single edit you make to continuously get better over time. Agents run locally and no data leaves your computer (except basic telemetry for system health monitoring)

https://i.redd.it/z5ajyevv7ugh1.gif

Mangos MCP has 30+ Tools now. All the way from agent management to drafts review, approval and publishing. https://www.mangos.ai/resources/mcp You can now manage all the drafts Mangos generated, review them, one shot update them and let Mangos take care of the rest. Replies, Comments, DMs, Emails, and Posts. All 6 platforms.

Don't let distribution slow you down. Let Mangos help you!

Please stop creating same tool over and over again. You copy from them. They copy from you.

Find a niche.

Is it Waitlist generation? Launch awareness? Keeping your users up to date? You don’t know what market you want to serve yet? There are so many things to figure out in go to market.

I have spent 8+ years in GTM, angel investing and Product roles. Managed 200 million in ARR. worked with some of the least advanced to most advanced GTM tech teams.

Believe it or not… smaller companies are much more innovative than larger ones when it comes to go to market. It’s incredible.

Share what you are challenged with right now. I’ll try to give my input (or anyone else can). I know you are not supposed to share websites of your product. But mention your product name that researchable at least.

I want to emphasize actively here. I’ve pushed a ton of PRs. But the problem I faced was, pushing features is not my primary goal or a priority. If I’m picking something, I’m probably doing it because it’s small enough(QoL type) that I don’t want to disturb my devs.

I’m a Principal PM . Quite technical. I influence heavily all the way through technical architecture to UI/UX. End to end I make sure we don’t comprise on customer value. I can sit and push PRs with no problem.

But lately, I’m just not motivated to push any.

Here is why,

1. I’m not faster than a dev. I do it on the side. Context switching to actual work. Then testing and making sure it’s good. Etc etc. I would take a whole day or two to make a change.
2. PMs PRs are not that important for devs. Sure, I own their sprint. But they have 100 other things they are working on (because of me). Ultimately, I would own the priority on this PR too. And I’d have to make a decision.
3. By the time I complete my stuff and push a PR, they are already a few version ahead. And I need to merge conflict etc. it becomes my full time job.

I know there are a lot of “Builder Roles” coming in. Sure, PMs can do end to end software stack, we are capable with new models getting better and better. But are you actually doing it?

Hey friends… I’m building Mangos.ai. It's a desktop app that helps founders distribute their products through social and cold outreach.

It finds relevant people and conversations across Reddit, X, Facebook, Instagram, and Threads, researches each prospect, scores who’s worth contacting, and drafts personalized replies and DMs.

The thing I just shipped is the one users have been asking me for: a cold email research and outreach agent.

Most solo founders know cold email can work. The problem is everything you have to do before sending one:

Build a list. Visit every website. Work out what the company does. Find the right person. Look for contact information. Research enough context to write something personal. Then create and manage the follow-ups.

Do that properly for twenty prospects and your afternoon is gone.

So Mangos now does the boring part from your computer. There are two ways to use it:

If you don’t have a data vendor:

Tell the agent what kinds of businesses you’re looking for. It can discover prospects through places like Google Maps, Product Hunt, Hacker News, and company websites.

It visits each site, understands the business, researches the people behind it, gathers publicly available contact information, and drafts a personalized three-step email sequence.

If you already have a data vendor:

Upload the list you built there, even if it only contains basic contact information.

Mangos uses its in-app browser to research every person and company: who they are, what they do, where they work, what the company sells, and what might make your outreach relevant.

It then turns that research into a personalized three-step sequence that you can review, edit, schedule, and manage.

Everything runs through your computer using an in-app browser and scraping engine. Your computer becomes the researcher and email drafter you can run whenever you want.

The same principle applies to all the social agents in Mangos: it does the discovery, research, scoring, and drafting. The final outreach stays in your queue for you to review. You decide what gets sent.

I know this approach isn’t designed to send millions of emails. That isn’t the point.

I built it for solo founders who need their first 100 or 200 users without paying for five different tools, expensive enrichment, and a full outbound team. Once you reach that point, you can invest in infrastructure built for scale.

I have 100+ founders actively using Mangos now, and some of them absolutely love it. I’d really like to know whether this new email agent is useful to more founders here.

This is my weekly routine in this sub, and I love it. My background is in product, go-to-market, startups, and agents. I want to help.

If you’re building something, drop your product below and tell me what you’re struggling with in Distribution. I reply to every comment on these threads.

If you want to try the new cold email agent:

1. Download Mangos and register. It’s free for seven days, with no credit card required.
2. Reach out to me with your email you registered with, and I’ll unlock a 30-day extension.

Yes, I’ll lose a little money on it. The bet is simple: Mangos helps you find your first 100 users before you ever pay me.

If your product is good, that shouldn’t take long.

https://i.redd.it/0jqjo7kgdafh1.gif

Hey Friends... I'm the founder of Mangos. I don't know if this is the right group, but thought I could reach out.

My background is go to market, product, and startups. I built Mangos for solo founders who are trying to distribute their product. As you know, building a product these days is easy, but taking it to the market is not.

Mangos is primarily focussed on Social distribution until recently. It helps in finding people on Twitter, Reddit, Facebook, Insta, Threads -- does deeper research about everyone, then scores and prioritizes, and finally comes up with a cold DM outreach. I have 100+ founders actively using the product. Some of them absolutely love it!

As you can see in the demo above. Everything runs from your computer. Agent has an in-app browser with scraping engine. That's how it interacts on things like Replying to their ICPs, researching about them, if they mentioned any domains in their profile, go to that website and research about the company dig in there. They come every morning, see the 20 DMs they want to send that day. 20 Replies they want to do. Schedule posts about their releases to their audience is up to date (agent has access to the Git commit history, so it knows what goes out).

==
Some of the users were looking for a cold email on top of the other Social agents they can build in Mangos. I built it. It's doing a phenomenal job.

I made it two ways (demo video is this)

1. You don't have a data vendor (most of these founders don't): The agent just tries to find businesses in certain locations using google maps or recently launched products on Product hunt, hacker news etc etc. Then goes to their websites and understands who they are, what they do, what company they work at. Gathers any contact information available on their website. You get it. It's agents using your computer to gather data. Then creates a 3 step sequence that you can manage and schedule.

2. You have a data vendor: You built a list there (enriched with just with contact info). Then upload it in Mangos. Mangos uses your in-app browser to do all the research for you (who they are, where they work bla bla). Essentially turn your computer as your researcher and email drafter that runs whenever you want it to. Then creates a 3 step sequence that you can manage and schedule.

I know it doesn't scale. This is built for solo founders. I needed to minimize the cost for them to get their first 100/200 users. Enough for them to then actually invest in a tool.

My ask:
Would you try it out and give me feedback? It's free for the first 7 days. No CC required. Would really appreciate some feedback from here!
