I’ve been working on Runey lately and shipped a few new updates.

Added a new Pages feature — kind of like a lightweight Notion-style editor inside the app. You can create things like design briefs, meeting notes, agreements, contracts, discovery docs, etc. with templates, sections and rich content blocks.

Pages can also be attached to projects or customers, shared publicly, and clients can even sign them.

Also finished the new Slack integration:
notifications, time tracking actions, tasks, project updates and more directly from Slack.

Still a lot to build 😄

What are you working on?

Four weeks ago, I released Line Cal - an app that let's users put their calendars on a timeline, with notes and an integrated Kanban task board. I've gotten 40 sign-ups since I launched, am supporting 21 languages, and am continuing to iterate on a consistent basis.

I wanted to share a short demo video of adding an item from the backlog directly onto the timeline to showcase some of what this app can do. Users can use it with or without signing (it uses a local-first architecture, with cloud sync for authenticated users).

I’ve tried building habits more times than I can count.

Gym, journaling, reading — I’d go strong for a few days, maybe a week… and then just stop.

For a long time I thought it was lack of discipline. But after paying attention, I realized something stupid:

I wasn’t failing the habit — I was failing the logging.

Every time I completed something, I had to:
unlock phone → find the app → open it → tap around → log it

Took ~20–30 seconds.

Doesn’t sound like much, but that tiny friction was enough for me to start skipping… and once I skipped tracking, the habit itself died soon after.

So I tried an experiment:

What if logging a habit took less than 2 seconds? ⚡

Like literally just saying:
“habit done” 🎤

That idea bothered me enough that I spent the last ~3 weeks building a small Android app for myself (just nights after work).

No grand plan — just wanted to remove friction completely.

What I changed:

• Voice input instead of typing 🎤
• Everything works offline (no accounts, no sync headaches) 📵
• One simple screen for everything (tasks + habits together) 📊
• Basic streaks just to see consistency 🔥

Nothing fancy.

But weirdly… it worked.

For the first time, I didn’t drop off after a week. Logging felt almost invisible, so I kept going without thinking about it.

A couple of friends tried it too and had similar results, which honestly surprised me.

So I put it on the Play Store yesterday just to see if anyone else finds it useful. No monetization or anything — I wouldn’t even know how to market it properly 😅

Google Play Store Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.souravsn.daymint

Right now I’m more curious about this:

Do you think friction (like opening apps, typing, etc.) is what kills habits more than motivation? 🤔

Or is this just a “me problem”?

If you’ve struggled with consistency, I’d love to know what actually breaks the chain for you.

Happy to share the app link if anyone wants to try it — but mostly just here to learn what works / doesn’t 🙏

The new lights have 3 colors:
🟢 GREEN: AI knows you AND recommends you
🟡 ORANGE: AI knows you but won't recommend
🔴 RED: AI has no idea you exist (you're invisible)

Most B2B brands are stuck on RED. They don't know it.

Google is no longer the front page. ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude are. And they don't show links — they give answers. If your brand isn't in those answers, you don't exist for the 60% of B2B buyers who now start their research with AI.

I built Zypact to be the GPS for this new road network. It doesn't just tell you your color — it tells you why, who's ahead of you, and exactly which routes (content, citations, sources) will move you to GREEN.

• Triangulates across ChatGPT, Perplexity & Claude
• Uses published math (DCG weighting, Wilson confidence intervals)
• Gives you a real visibility score, not a vanity metric

Free during calibration. If you want to know your color (and how to change it), check https://www.zypact.com/qualification . No catch, no credit card. Just honest measurement.

Happy to answer any questions here.

Drop your SaaS/startup/project below and let’s help each other out with:
• honest feedback
• UI/UX suggestions
• bug finding
• feature ideas
• early traffic/users

I’ll start with mine:

Would genuinely love feedback on which feature stands out most or what feels confusing as a first-time user 👇

2 months ago, I launched NovaAiOps.

No VC funding.
No cold email outreach.
No growth team.

Just building relentlessly and posting on social media.

Today:
• 2,650+ visitors
• 68 organic signups
• Visitors from 50 countries
• 72% returning visitors
• 16+ minute average session duration

People are voluntarily signing up to use the platform.

That tells me we are solving a real problem.

We’re building Nova AI to become the first Multi Agent OS for modern SRE & DevOps teams.

Still early. Still improving every day.

Don’t give up, keep grinding.

I recently shared this on another subreddit and it got 500 upvotes, so I thought I’d share it here too hoping it helps more people.

Every time I launch a new product, I go through the same annoying routine: Googling “SaaS directories,” digging up 5-year-old blog posts, and piecing together a messy spreadsheet of where to submit. It’s frustrating and time-consuming. Finding a good, up-to-date list is a pain, so I finally sat down and built one myself: sites like Product Hunt, capterra, SaasHub, and more ended up with 100 legit directories.

For those who don’t know, launch directories are websites where new products and solutions get listed and showcased to an audience actively looking for new tools and solutions. Most of these directories are browsed by technical folks, founders, developers, and marketing people. So not every directory is going to be the perfect fit for every product or extension but it’s definitely worth experimenting to see where your audience hangs out.

I also added a way to sort them by DR (Domain Rating), which is basically a metric from tools like Ahrefs estimating how strong a website’s backlink profile is. Higher DR usually means the site has more authority, which could mean more SEO value or organic traffic.

I turned it into a simple site: launchdirectories.com
No fluff, no paywall, no signups just the list I wish I had every time I launch something.

Thought it might help others here too.

Hey everyone,

We recently crossed almost 1,000 downloads and around $300 in revenue.

Still small numbers, but enough to start learning real things from real users. Here are the biggest lessons so far:

1. ASO matters way more than I expected
Around 80–90% of our downloads come from App Store search. For a mobile app, ASO is not optional. Better keywords, screenshots, translations, and conversion rate can slowly compound into more visibility.

2. Always make it easy for users to give feedback
Some of our best product decisions came from users who reached out directly. A simple email, form, Reddit post, or feedback button can be enough.

3. Onboarding is probably the biggest revenue lever
If users don’t understand the value quickly, they leave. Small changes in onboarding, copy, screen order, and paywall timing can have a real impact.

4. Track everything that matters
You need to know where users come from, where they drop, what they use, what they ignore, and where they convert. Without analytics, you’re mostly guessing.

5. Translations can unlock unexpected markets
We translated the app into 8 languages and were surprised to see traction in places like Russia. Even when revenue is lower, more users means more feedback and more behavioral data.

6. US users monetize much better
For us, the US install-to-payment conversion rate is roughly 2x higher than the rest of the world. Other countries help us learn, but the US is where most of the revenue potential is.

7. Test a paywall during onboarding
Around 68% of our conversions happen before users even sign up. I know onboarding paywalls can be controversial, but for us it clearly matters.

8. Reviews are harder than they look
It took us several attempts to find a review prompt logic that actually worked. Timing matters a lot: not too early, not too late.

Main takeaway: the more data you have, the less you rely on your own assumptions. What you want as a founder doesn’t matter as much as what users actually do.

Our app is Paintly, a small app to learn art history through one artwork a day, in around 2 minutes.

Paintly is available on iOS and Android here if you want to try it:

Happy to answer questions or debate any of this in the comments.

Built a prototype that generates custom podcast episodes from a prompt. You choose format, style, and length. Looking for 10-15 people to test it and give honest feedback on accuracy and audio quality.

I launched a small side project today called Resuma.

It helps people turn their resume into a professional personal website they can share with one clean link. You can set it up quickly, keep it updated anytime and export a PDF when a file is still required.

I built it because most people still present themselves online with a messy combination of PDFs, LinkedIn, GitHub, portfolio links and old profile pages. That works, but it's fragmented and usually out of date.

What I wanted was something simpler:

• one place for experience, links and projects
• no coding or design work
• fast setup
• custom sections
• PDF export when needed

Would love honest feedback from other makers:

• Does this solve a real enough problem?
• Is the pitch clear?
• What would make you try it or ignore it?

Here's the live demo: https://useresuma.com

Hello, I created a website for my product called QuickProof, but I’m not really satisfied with how it looks right now. The layout feels a bit plain and not very engaging, and I’m struggling to figure out how to improve the design and overall structure.

Here’s the link: https://www.quickproof.ai/

I would also like to make the page more clear in terms of what the product actually does and add better sections for things like workflow explanation and early access signup. Can someone guide me on what I should improve or change? Any feedback would really help.

I am an indie developer. I built an Android app. Code worked. Design worked. Then Google told me I needed 12 testers for 14 days before I could publish. I did not have that.

I tried friends. They forgot after day 2. I tried test for test groups. People disappeared. I failed three times. Wasted over a month.

So I built RealAppTesters.

You add our testers emails to your Google Play Console. We provide 12 testers who use your app every day for 14 days. We track daily activity. If someone drops off, we replace them. After 14 days, you apply for production access.

No app to download. No system to learn. No testing other people's apps.

I have helped over 50 indie developers pass closed testing so far. All customers came from Reddit. No ads. No paid promotion.

If you are building an Android app and stuck on closed testing, this is for you.

From ideation to making the extension to the first sale, this has been a transformative journey for me. If you're interested, please feel free to try out the extension: FocusRead Reader Mode from CWS. Thanks to all the Reddit community for the support.

Not asking for validation. Asking if you’d actually pay and why or why not. Be brutal.

The problem.

Every developer building with AI APIs is one bug away from a surprise bill. It happened to me. A retry bug caused one user to hit my endpoint nearly 3,000 times in 14 minutes. Nothing crashed. Everything returned 200.

My Anthropic bill told a different story.

Normal protections don’t work here. Rate limits are per API key not per user. Observability tools show you the damage after. Nothing watches in the execution path where calls actually happen.

So I built Monrow. Three lines of code. Wraps your Anthropic or OpenAI client and throws an error before the next call fires when something looks wrong. Free tier. No account. No card.

The business model.

Free protects one server. When you scale to two servers each sees half the traffic and neither fires. Pro at $29 a month aggregates across all servers so detection works at real scale. That is the only reason to upgrade. I am not going to pretend otherwise.

Live right now. MIT licensed SDK. monrow.io

What would make you pay $29 a month for this? What would make you not? What am I missing?

I’m 32 and tracked my fiber for a week mostly out of curiosity.

I was getting like 12g a day.

The recommendation is 25–35g, which honestly explained a lot. I always had mid-afternoon crashes, bloating, and just random stomach stuff I never really thought about.

The tracking apps I tried didn’t really help either. MyFitnessPal tracks fiber, but it’s buried behind calories and macros. Cronometer felt way too detailed for what I wanted.

I basically just wanted an app that told me one thing:

Did I hit my fiber today or not?

So I built one.

It has a daily ring for your fiber goal, barcode scanner, 200+ USDA foods, and a plant diversity score. That last part was kind of surprising to me. A lot of gut health research points to variety per week, not just total grams.

A few honest surprises after using it for ~6 months:

• Getting to 30g isn’t that hard once you realize where fiber actually comes from. Beans, oats, raspberries, chia, avocado, etc.
• Plant diversity was harder for me than the actual fiber goal.
• A lot of packaged “high fiber” foods are not as useful as they make themselves sound.

Free, iOS only, on device, no account.

Would genuinely love feedback on the food database or anything that feels off.
