I’m curious what everyone here is building.

Drop your SaaS below and explain it in 1–2 lines. No pitching, just share what it does.

I spent the last 20 months over caffeinating and vibe coding to prove the humble sticky note is the perfect mental Legos....

Think of TaskLoco as Legoland for your mind 🧠

I’ve been working on something called StartupsMap:

Website is in the comments:

The idea is simple:

There are thousands of startups being built every day, but discovering them, the founders behind them, and what they’re building is still surprisingly fragmented.

So I’m building a global map/directory where people can:

• Discover startups
• Explore what they’re building
• Find founders and company information
• Discover startups by location and industry
• Give startups another channel for visibility

I’ve started onboarding startups and founders, but I’m still figuring out what would actually make this useful for founders.

So I want to hear from founders here.

If you’re building a startup:

1. Would you list your startup on something like this?
2. What would make you come back regularly?
3. What information would you want people to see about your startup?
4. Would startup discovery, founder discovery, hiring, networking, or customer discovery be most valuable to you?
5. What would make you recommend a platform like this to another founder?

I’m not looking for compliments. Tell me what’s missing, what’s useless, or what you would change.

If you’re a founder, feel free to also share your startup below. I’d love to check out what you’re building.

I’m building this with the goal of making startup discovery easier globally, and founder feedback would genuinely help shape the product.

I built OutreachGenie, a LinkedIn automation tool. The goal is to eventually handle the full outreach workflow.

I originally built it for myself. It helped me move away from relying on Upwork and build a stable pipeline on LinkedIn. Today, most of my leads come from LinkedIn using it.

So I know it solves a problem for me. Getting more people to try it and keep using it is what I’m struggling with.

Currently, it has around 100 signups and 30 active users. I made the whole product free to attract users and get more feedback.

Now I’m seeing people visit the pricing page and leave. I’m wondering whether “completely free” makes people question the quality or assume there’s a catch.

Those exits alone don’t tell me why people leave. It could also be unclear messaging or visitors who aren’t a fit.

For founders who’ve grown past this stage, what would you investigate first? Have you found that making a product free helps adoption, or makes building trust harder?

Which one do you value more while building a solution?
