48 Hours, $2398 in Sales and my story 😄

I wrote something like this back in 2023. Life was slower then. Fewer people knew me, fewer people used what I built. Now, more people are coming, using my work, trusting it. And sometimes I think should I clean things up, remove old things that don t move anymore? But I don t. I just let them stay.

When I started building saas, I didn t know what would happen. I was just one person, sitting with a laptop, trying to build something simple. I had a job before. Life was okay. But inside, I felt something was missing. So I left that path and started this, not knowing where it would go.

The early days were quiet. I built, I changed things, I made mistakes. Many things didn t work. Many nights felt very long. Sometimes I forgot why I even started. But still, I kept going, slowly.

Then I launched Slashit App. I didn t expect much. Maybe a few people would try it, maybe no one would care.

Does AI help your product or brand grow? Me not that much.

Lately I realise that I use AI to automate stuff etc, but when it comes to growing products that I built or my social presence, it does not help me much.

Like, there are probably a BILLION tools for AI-powered content creation and blah blah blah, but they haven't really helped me generate any meaningful content. So, I always end up writing the stuff I want myself, cause they are just better than the AI tools create.

What's your favourite tool you've used as a founder?

Mine is Canva - it has helped me build whitepapers, logos, branding material, video related media and more. What's yours?
