Applying "Zero-Complexity" to Infrastructure: Why I Replaced Nginx with Caddy

For the longest time, my default move for any new deployment was to spin up Nginx, write a massive configuration file, and wrestle with Certbot to get SSL working. It worked, but it always felt unnecessarily dense.

I’m currently building a project management SaaS (Loryians), and my core philosophy for the product is "zero-complexity." I realized I needed to apply that same mindset to the infrastructure.

My stack is entirely decoupled a Next.js frontend and an Express.js API, both containerized via Docker Compose. When it came time to set up the reverse proxy to route traffic between the containers and handle incoming requests, I decided to skip Nginx entirely and try Caddy.

Honestly, it feels like a cheat code.

Instead of a 50-line nginx.conf and a separate SSL renewal script, my entire Caddyfile looks like this:

Code snippet

# Next.js Frontend
app.mydomain.com {
    reverse_proxy frontend:3000
}

# Express API
api.mydomain.com {
    reverse_proxy backend:8080
}

The biggest wins so far:

  • Zero-Config HTTPS: Caddy provisions and renews Let's Encrypt certificates natively out of the box. You just write your domain name, and it handles the rest.
  • Seamless Docker Integration: Because Caddy and my apps share a Docker network, Caddy routes directly to the internal container names (frontend and backend). I don't even have to expose those ports to the host machine.
  • Sane Defaults: It automatically sets the correct X-Forwarded-* headers, handles HTTP-to-HTTPS redirects, and supports HTTP/3 without any extra configuration.

Every minute spent debugging infrastructure boilerplate is a minute taken away from building actual features. If you are running a modern containerized stack and haven't tried the Caddyfile yet, do your sanity a favor and give it a look.

Curious what everyone else is running for their ingress/reverse proxy right now? Are you sticking with the tried-and-true Nginx, or have you jumped ship to Caddy or Traefik?

How do you do LinkedIn cold outreach without just "pitch-slapping"

Hey everyone,

I’m a software engineer currently building a B2B SaaS. I’ve reached the stage where I need to start doing proactive outreach on LinkedIn to start conversations, get feedback, and find those early users.

The problem? I hate getting generic, pitchy messages from people who clearly just want to sell me something right out of the gate. I absolutely do not want to be that guy.

My core philosophy is that I want to actually provide value to the person I'm messaging. But I’m struggling to translate that mindset into a cold outreach strategy that actually works.

I'd love to hear what is working right now. Any advice, resources, or harsh reality checks would be hugely appreciated!

Celebrating a small win: 71 organic users in 7 days just from building in public

Hey everyone,

It’s so easy to get caught up in the massive success stories we see constantly on this sub the $10k MRR milestones, the huge funding rounds, the viral launches. But today, I just want to take a moment to celebrate a small, quiet win, and hopefully encourage anyone else who is just starting out.

Over the last week, I’ve been focusing entirely on building in public. No paid ads, no aggressive marketing hacks, and no pitching just sharing the raw, unpolished reality of being a software engineer putting something new out into the world. I just documented the process, the code, and the daily grind.

And it actually worked.

I checked my analytics today, and here is what 7 days of pure organic content brought in:

  • 71 new active users (with 280 events triggered).
  • A global footprint from day one: 35 users from the US, 15 from Tunisia, 5 from Canada, and a handful from Ireland, Belgium, Cameroon, and Germany.

The value I took away from this (and why you should try it if you aren't already):

  1. Your daily work is your best marketing material. You don't need to be a marketing genius to get eyes on your work. Every bug you fix, every architectural decision you make, or UI you design is a piece of content. People connect deeply with the process of building, not just the shiny end result.
  2. Zero-budget global reach is real. Seeing traffic come in from North America, Europe, and Africa simultaneously without spending a single dime on acquisition is an incredible feeling. The internet genuinely rewards authenticity.
  3. It builds immediate trust. When people see the human behind the screen putting in the hours, they are infinitely more invested in your journey.

If you're hesitating to share your progress because your audience is small or your project isn't "ready" yet take this as your sign to just start. Documenting the journey is a massive win in itself.

Let's use this thread for some positivity. What is a small win you’re celebrating this week? Let's hear them! 👇

Is "PM Tool Fatigue" real, or is it just me? (Building a zero-complexity alternative

Hey r/saas, (Founder here).

Like many of you, I’ve spent the last few years jumping between Jira, ClickUp, Linear, and Notion. They are all incredible pieces of software, but lately, I’ve noticed a frustrating trend: feature bloat.

Instead of actually doing the work, I found myself spending hours configuring workflows, setting up custom fields, managing nested sub-tasks, and tweaking automation rules. It felt like I needed a dedicated project manager just to manage my own solo projects and small team tasks.

I wanted something that got completely out of my way. A tool where I could log in, dump my thoughts, track progress, and get back to coding.

When I couldn't find a truly lightweight option that didn't eventually try to become an "all-in-one enterprise platform," I decided to build it myself.

It’s called Loryians.

The core philosophy is simple: Zero-complexity project management.

Why I'm posting here: Since I'm building this entirely in public, I want to gut-check this problem with other founders and devs.

  • Do you actually prefer the massive customization of modern tools, or do you feel the same fatigue?
  • What is the absolute bare minimum a PM tool needs for you to actually use it daily without it feeling like a chore?

Title: What PM tool is your team actually using? (And what's broken about it?)

Hey r/projectmanagers ,

I’m currently building a minimalist project management app , and as we navigate our waitlist phase, I’m trying to make sure we are actually solving the right problems rather than just adding to the noise.

It feels like the current landscape is split in two: either the tools are incredibly bloated and require a dedicated manager just to maintain them, or they are too simple and require constant manual updating to keep things moving.

I’d love to get a reality check from this community. If you have a minute to share your stack, I’d love to know:

  • What PM tool are you currently using?
  • What is the biggest friction point or daily annoyance you face with it?
  • If you had a magic wand, what is the one feature you wish it had?
  • Has anyone actually found a truly minimalist tool that successfully integrates AI automation? (Or are we all just choosing between bloat and manual data entry?)

Would appreciate any raw feedback, recommendations, or rants you have!
