I'm currently trying to understand what the biggest technical pain points SaaS founders have? For me it has been understanding all of the tech stack that I needed for my first product and how to make it work together. What is yours?
I am Janis, working on a project to improve the healthy working culture for the companies and for the employees. I would love to hear your thoughts about this topic. Questions regarding this topic https://janisrozenfelds.typeform...
Startups are hard & can be stressful; it's an emotional roller coaster. I am looking forward to hearing back what are you doing to keep your mental health & inner peace. Share your experience.
I ve noticed two main narratives in how companies view their competitors.
Either it s a fight to the death approach exactly like what we see between Replit and Lovable (though it seems Replit does more of the provoking ) basically: We speak badly about our competition.
I am curious to learn about this community. If you learnt that the founders of the product you use or the company is involved in activities that you don't personally (morally or value systems wise) align with, are you less likely to go back to the product? On the other hand, if you do find founder aligning with your vision of the world, are you more likely to use their products? For example: will you stop going to a bar if the owner misbehaved with people or it's own staff? Will you buy into a brand because it does good for the world(save up for a more expensive jacket instead of buying a cheap fast-fashion brand)? Will you stop using a giant company because it is driving local businesses to bankruptcy?
Product Hunt is one of the most well-known product directories I know. And I think there is always room for new members.
I believe there are still many influential founders missing from this platform people who could enrich the community with their mindset, achievements, and products.
To all our competitive friends - we get it, we love streaks too. Our mobile team did us all a favor and designed a mobile home screen streak widget. See your current streak and always stay vigilant and on top of your streak game. Get the mobile app if you re still missing out.
Over the past year I've noticed something unexpected. Building products with AI keeps getting easier.
Choosing which AI tools to use keeps getting harder.
Every day there are new models, coding assistants, design tools, agents, MCP servers, and productivity apps. I love seeing innovation, but I also wonder whether we're reaching a point where too much choice is slowing us down.
When I'm trying a new SaaS tool, I'm much more interested in signing up if I've already seen what it can actually do. Being asked to fill out a form before seeing any real value can make me leave before giving the product a chance.
I get why founders ask people to sign up upfront, though. It helps them save their work, personalize the experience, and understand who's using the product. And some tools need a bit of setup before they can show useful results.
Personally, I like the idea of letting someone try one small part of the product first, then asking them to create an account when they want to save their work or go further. But I'm not sure that approach makes sense for every type of SaaS.
