Me too 😅

Me and my boyfriend created this app called What2Munch and the name says pretty much everything. It gives you recommendations for food places near you and you can order them on Wolt.

We plan to add other options in the future depending on the feedback we receive.

We would very much appreciate feedback, criticism included.

ps. I hope i’m not breaking any rules since this was developed yesterday and is not promoting, advertising or anything similar from your clicks 🤞

Thank you community! 🍔

Most MicroSaaS products are built around a feature, not a workflow.

That one distinction explains most of the gap between products that hit $10k MRR and products that stall at a few hundred dollars a month with high churn and no word of mouth.

A feature is something your product does. A workflow is something your user does every day that your product now owns. Features are replaceable. Workflows are sticky.

When someone cancels a product built around a feature, they lose a capability. When someone cancels a product built around a workflow, they lose a process. One is inconvenient. The other is actually painful.

Here is how to know which one you have built and how to move from one to the other:

Ask yourself how often your best users open the product

If the answer is once a week or less, the product is probably sitting at the edge of a workflow rather than inside it. Daily or near-daily usage means the product has found its way into a habit. Habits are what retention is built on. Occasional usage is what churn is built on.

Look at what your users do before and after using your product

The most durable MicroSaaS products sit in the middle of a chain of actions. Something happens, the user opens your product, something else happens as a result. If your product is the last step or a completely isolated action, it is easier to cut when budgets tighten. If it is the connector between two important things the user already does, cutting it breaks the whole chain.

Find the one moment of highest value and build everything around it

Every MicroSaaS product has one moment where the user feels the most relief, saves the most time, or solves the most frustrating part of their day. Most founders know what this moment is but spread their energy across 10 other features instead of making that one moment exceptional. The products that grow fastest are sometimes embarrassingly narrow. They do one thing so well that users cannot imagine doing that thing any other way.

Price based on how embedded you are

If your product owns a daily workflow, you can charge more than a product that gets opened occasionally. Pricing should reflect how much it would hurt to lose access. Most MicroSaaS founders underprice because they think about what their product does rather than what their user loses without it.

The MicroSaaS products I have studied that crossed $10k MRR without heavy marketing all owned a specific workflow for a specific user. They were not trying to be platforms. They were not trying to serve everyone. They solved one painful daily problem better than any alternative and charged fairly for the value that created.

Narrow focus is not a limitation at this stage. It is the strategy.

I put together a full playbook from studying 1000+ founders who built MicroSaaS products to $100k and beyond. It covers idea selection, workflow ownership, pricing, and scaling without burning out. All of it is inside FounderToolkit

Reqflow : pick an architecture (WhatsApp,
Uber, Netflix…), hit play, watch a request flow through it step by step. Click any component for purpose + tradeoffs. Kill the cache and watch the path change.

15 systems, 18 concept guides, a drag-and-drop Builder with AI review, and a timed Interview mode.

Feedback welcome — especially what's missing from the 15.

I think one agency client is worth 50 solo users.

And i’m not talking eventually. From the moment they sign.

Because the math is completely different.

I run a LinkedIn automation SaaS called SalesRobot. 150+ agency clients. Had 36% agency inbound for two years before we started actually building for them.

Here are 6 reasons B2B SaaS founders should be building for agencies:

1. The unit economics are not comparable

One of our agency clients runs 45 LinkedIn accounts through my SaaS. A solo user runs one. That's 45x the revenue. There is no efficiency gain anywhere else in a B2B SaaS business that comes close to that.

2. Their churn is structurally protected

Solo users cancel at 60-90 days when campaigns don't convert. Agencies cannot leave without migrating every client account, rebuilding their service delivery, and explaining to each client why their portal looks different next week. The switching cost isn't psychological. It's operational. So they stay.

3. Expansion happens without you

When an agency wins a new client, they add a seat. You find out on the invoice. MRR grows and you ran 0 campaigns to make it happen. This doesn't exist with solo users. Solo users only expand when you sell them something new.

4. They are the MOST price-insensitive segment.

Agencies resell at 2-3x your price. If you charge $79/seat, they bill their client $199. They're not evaluating your tool on price. They're evaluating the margin between your price and theirs. A pricing conversation that stalls a solo founder for a week takes 5 minutes with someone actively making money on top of your product.

5. White-label turns your tool into infrastructure.

One UK agency runs $50,000/month in revenue built on my SaaS’s white-label. Their clients log into a portal with the agency's branding. My product appears nowhere. Cancelling means rebranding an entire service line. That conversation doesn't happen.

6. They build your roadmap for you.

Agencies run 40-50 client accounts simultaneously. Every edge case, every integration gap, every workflow problem shows up inside one relationship at a scale solo users never reach. The features that actually made my SaaS stickier, the branded portal, the workspace switching, the billing infrastructure that lets agencies charge their own clients $199 while paying us $49, we built all of them because agencies asked for them first.

The easiest version of this shift doesn't start with a new sales motion.

Before you build an agency sales motion, pull your current customer list and count how many are already agencies.

For us it was 36%.

I’ll go first:

PostPress - Unified API for LinkedIn, WhatsApp & Instagram for founders building lead gen and outreach SaaS.

It started with a flopped demo, we had a investor call, small startup, me and two other guys. spent two weeks prepping the product and the day of the call, we open the app and the main flow is broken like completely broken, something had changed in a build two days earlier and none of us caught it.

Call went okay but we could tell it rattled them. We didn't get the meeting.

After that i became obsessed, not with hiring a QA person, we couldn't afford it. obsessed with why we keep missing things.

turns out we were testing the same happy paths every time, we were human, we'd check the stuff we built that week, nobody was checking the stuff from 3 months ago that we assumed was fine.

i spent a weekend rebuilding how we do it, not writing a checklist, actually rethinking what needed to happen after every single build without us touching it.

took a few iterations. couple of weeks of adjusting, then it just worked.

We haven't had a regression slip through in 7 months, we ship faster now than before we had any of this set up.

I posted about it here a while back mostly venting. someone from a Series C company DMed me and said their QA team of 6 was dealing with problems our 3 person team had solved.

Hey everyone,

I see a lot of founders here struggling to get early adopters because their cold outreach pitches or beta invites keep landing in the spam folder. I also hated the idea of paying expensive monthly API credits to generic email verifiers.

So, I built a custom internal Python script for my lead gen. Instead of just checking syntax, it pings the MX records and validates the SMTP handshake before any email is sent.

Here is why building this changed the game for my user acquisition:

• Zero API Costs & Bounces: It instantly drops dead emails and catch-alls without me paying a third-party tool per verification.
• SaaS Domain Protection: It filters out ultra-strict servers (like certain Yahoo/Google configurations) that automatically ding your sender score. This keeps my main app's domain reputation pristine.
• Surgical Targeting: It leaves me with a 100% pure list of verified decision-makers.

Because the data is surgically clean, I can send highly targeted beta invites/pitches directly from a standard account without triggering Google's spam algorithms. Precision > Volume.

Are you guys building your own internal tools for user acquisition, or paying for external stacks? Let’s discuss your workflows below, happy to answer any technical questions about the Python logic!

So, let's assume you've found a nice service for finance and trading management that you've been looking for for some time. It has a nice UI, and it has a key feature that its competitors don't have.

However, the only payment option for the subscription is crypto (USDT). How would you react to this, and how will it influence your decision?

The question is obviously about me developing this service. When it comes to billing implementation, I'm having a hard time deciding whether I need a payment option in fiat currency for my MVP. In order to implement this, it will require a great amount of bureaucratic hassle in my country.

Since I don't know how many people are ready to pay in crypto, I can't plan on this and make a final decision. Could you share your opinion in the comments?

Every day someone posts "SaaS is dead": it's not.

The music industry ran this exact experiment from 2000 to today. Same democratization, same collapse of the middle, and same shift from craft to attention. SaaS is running the same playbook (just compressed).

Here's my 4-phase map. I think we're somewhere between 2 and 3.

Phase 1, Anyone can build it now Music: 1999–2005. SaaS: 2022–2025.

Music got Pro Tools, Logic, GarageBand. Studio-quality from a bedroom. SaaS got Lovable, Claude Code, Codex. Production apps in a weekend.

We all see the supply explosion. And the first wave of democratized creators out-quality the incumbents. Bedroom producers were better than mid-tier label artists by 2008. Solo founders are already shipping better products than 50-person SaaS teams.

The incumbents' moat was never talent, it was access to tools. And that moat is gone.

Phase 2, Anyone can distribute it now Music: 2005-2012. SaaS: 2025-2026.

Music: MySpace, iTunes, then Spotify. Global reach without a label. SaaS: you no longer need a sales team, channel partners. You launch on the socials and you're in front of a global audience the same day.

Gatekeepers lose pricing power. But this kills the middle and poisons the giants**.** Mid-tier labels died fast. But the majors, like Universal, Sony, Warner just decayed slower, lost the cultural relevance first, the pricing power second, the talent pipeline third.

Same thing is coming for Salesforce, HubSpot, the big "commercial" suites. They won't disappear. They'll just become uncool, then unloved, then unrenewed. The smart kid building today is not dreaming of becoming the next Salesforce. They're building the tool that makes Salesforce feel like a fax machine.

Phase 3, Anyone can build, anyone can distribute, so now what? Music: 2012-2018. SaaS: 2026-2028.

When supply explodes and distribution is free, the bottleneck moves to attention. Everyone says this. But then they say "so you need to focus on distribution" like that's a tactic. It's not a tactic. It's a job change.

Look at who won in music. It wasn't the artists who made the best records and "also did some marketing." It was the artists who became content creators first, musicians second. The job stopped being "make great music." The job became "make great content, which contains music."

The music is the merch now. The artist is the brand. The brand lives on social.

The 2026 founder isn't a coder who "also does marketing." The 2026 founder is a creator who happens to ship software. The time you used to spend writing code now goes into shooting videos, writing threads, posting, building email lists, doing podcasts, showing up in comments. It's a fundamentally different job.

If you're a founder who hates being on camera, hates writing publicly, hates building an audience, you're in the same position as a singer in 2018 who refused to make TikToks. The skill that used to be the whole game is now table stakes.

This is also why VCs are shifting. They're not funding products anymore. They're funding founders with distribution. Audience-market fit comes before product-market fit. That sounds like a hot take. It's already the reality if you look at who's getting funded in 2025–2026.

Phase 4, The bifurcation Music: 2018-present.

Music split into 2 economies:

• (a) global mega-artists who win the algorithm
• (b) niche creators with deep direct-to-fan relationships

The mid-tier "signed to a label, modest career" path is dead.

SaaS goes the same way. Either you're a platform at scale, or you're a hyper-niche vertical tool with a real direct relationship to a defined audience. Horizontal generic productivity SaaS for SMBs, that's the dying middle.

Just like in music, not everyone gets to be a creator anymore.

When the tools democratized music, the dream was "everyone can be a musician now." The reality was: a small percentage built real careers, a larger percentage made beer money, and the vast majority made nothing and quit. The democratization of the tools didn't democratize the outcomes. It just removed the excuse.

SaaS is heading exactly there. Yes, anyone can build a SaaS in a weekend now. No, that does not mean everyone who builds one will have a business. The "everyone's a founder" wave is going to break the same way "everyone's a musician" broke. Most projects will be hobbies. A real percentage will quietly die. The ones that survive will look much more like creators with a product than coders with a startup.

It's just what happens when supply expands faster than demand and attention stays finite.

Now, where this is coming from

Honestly? I'm writing this because I'm living it. Spent the last 3 months building an AI-native event ticketing platform (sayevent). Just launched and I'm hitting Phase 3 in the face, I'm realizing the hard part isn't behind me, it's in front of me. Getting the first organizers is brutal. The code was the easy part. Everything after is a different job I'm learning.

And if any of you have been through Phase 3 yourself and have a playbook, I'm all ears in the comments.

That's my take. We'll see if I called it right. Happy to be wrong publicly!

Hi everyone,

I've had something bugging me lately and I want to get a fresh opinion on it: is it still relevant to build microsaas apps? like frontier models are getting crazy good, vibecoding is hitting enterprise, and imo it's only a matter of time before AI gets soo good at crafting compelling personal apps even from messy and disorganized prompts and appealing to more non-technical people (like picture Claude Code but even a non-technical person can use it: enter a prompt, get a hosted app. No hassle, no complex configs, no nothing. Just a hosted url for the app). And I think most platforms are already doing this (Lovable, Emergent, etc.). So now the question becomes: will building SaaS and microsaas still be relevant 3mo, 6mo from now?

The future feels like if I've got a problem, I can just make a micro app for it instantly, without having to pay for 10 SaaS apps that solve the same problem.

I would like everyone's take on this.

Hey r/microsaas,

As a solo founder, I was spending way too much time and money trying to set up automated outbound pipelines. I tried a bunch of the trendy tools out there, but I always felt like I had to duct-tape them together. Eventually, I just built a massive n8n workflow to handle scraping, AI personalization, and sending.

It worked so well that I turned it into a full SaaS platform called Leeeds.

I wanted to share an honest comparison of the current landscape of lead gen tools based on my experience, and show you where my tool fits in (and where it doesn't).

1. Apollo.io

• The Good: Absolutely massive database. If you need enterprise-level data enrichment and millions of contacts, this is the gold standard.
• The Bad: It can get really expensive if you need a lot of mobile numbers or export credits. The UI is also quite complex if you just want to run a simple, automated campaign.

2. Lemlist / Instantly

• The Good: Incredible for pure email outreach and deliverability (warm-ups). They are the masters of the "sending" part.
• The Bad: You still have to bring your own leads. You need to scrape data elsewhere, clean it, and then import it. It's a multi-tool process.

3. Apify / Phantombuster

• The Good: Great for raw scraping from LinkedIn or Google Maps. Highly customizable.
• The Bad: They are just data extractors. You still need to build the whole outbound pipeline, AI personalization, and CRM sync yourself.

4. My tool: Leeeds.eu

• Where it wins: I built it to be the ultimate "setup-and-forget" automated sales rep. You literally just drop your website URL into the system. The AI analyzes your product, automatically figures out your Ideal Customer Profile (ICP), and then goes to work. It scrapes the right targets (e.g., Google Maps, local directories), uses AI to analyze their websites, generates hyper-personalized icebreakers, and handles the outreach. It's basically my old n8n workflow on steroids, designed for people who hate manual prospecting.
• Where it loses (for now): We don't have a 500-million contact database like Apollo. If you need hyper-specific enterprise intent data from Fortune 500 companies, we are not there yet. Our strength is mainly in targeting SMBs, local businesses, and specific niches where smart web scraping & AI analysis shine.

I’d love for you guys to tear it apart and give me some honest feedback. What is the biggest pain point you currently have with your cold outreach stack?

I’ve been experimenting with different ways to sell small digital products and simple web apps, and I keep running into the same issue: most tools feel either too basic or way too heavy.  

So I started testing a few options to find a good balance:  

• Gumroad: super easy to start with digital products (PDFs, templates, etc.), but it’s quite limited if you want more control or app-like experiences.  
• Unstore: closer to a lightweight web app store than a basic digital download tool, seems geared toward shipping and monetizing online tools without building everything from scratch.  
• Lemon Squeezy: more powerful and “SaaS-ready” (subscriptions, licensing, etc.), feels better suited for full products but comes with a bit more setup.  
• Stripe: full control if you build everything yourself, especially for web apps, but also the most work (payments, auth, delivery, edge cases)

  

Still figuring out what the best setup is depending on the project.  

Curious what others are using, especially if you're selling small apps or interactive tools rather than just files.
