The biggest objection I hear from indie hackers is: "Building a mobile app is too hard/expensive." But data shows that a home screen icon increases retention by 30-40%. Question for you all: If you could turn your SaaS into a Play Store app in 5 minutes without coding (using TWA), would that change your strategy? Or is "Web-Only" still enough in 2025?

To kick this off: I recently spoke to a founder who was paying $30 in OpenAI API costs for a user who was only paying him $20/month. He was literally paying the customer to use his product. Who else is subsidizing their "Power Users"? Is BYOK the only way to fix these unit economics?

I’m curious to hear from other makers: Has anyone here actually deployed a purely AI-generated app (Cursor/Bolt) to production and kept it running for more than 3 months without a total rewrite? Or are we all just building shiny prototypes that break at scale? Let's be honest. 👇

Hi Product Hunt! 👋 I’m Cem, the maker of Blyxxa SaaS Engine. I’ve been a WordPress developer for years, and I noticed a fatal flaw in the current AI boom: **API Costs.** If you build an "AI Wrapper" and charge a flat fee, one viral user can bankrupt you by consuming all your OpenAI tokens. It’s a risky business. So, I built a solution to fix this. 🚀 **Meet Blyxxa SaaS Engine (Ultimate...

Web vs. Native App: Why are we still forcing users to open browsers?

SaaS founders often ignore mobile apps because of the development cost (Flutter/React Native) and the complexity of App Store approvals. But retention data doesn't lie: A native icon on the home screen increases LTV (Lifetime Value) significantly compared to a browser tab. With Blyxxa, we implemented TWA (Trusted Web Activity) to turn WordPress SaaS sites into native .AAB files instantly. For...

Is the "AI Wrapper" business model officially dead in 2025?

Let's talk about unit economics. If you wrap OpenAI's API and charge a flat $20/month subscription: - One "Power User" can burn $50 worth of tokens. - You lose money on your best customers. - You are essentially running a charity for OpenAI. I decided to pivot to the BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) model for my new SaaS Engine (Blyxxa). - Users bring their own API keys. - I charge for the...

Unpopular Opinion: "Vibe Coding" is a trap for non-technical founders.

We see a lot of hype around "Vibe Coding" lately (just prompt it, and AI builds it). As someone with 20+ years in tech, I see a dangerous pattern: 1. It works for the "Happy Path" (Simple prototypes). 2. It fails at "Edge Cases" (Security, Scaling, Database integrity). 3. Founders end up with "Frankenstein Code" they can't fix or maintain. I believe AI should be a "Factory" (Structured, proven...
