We used to believe every SaaS needed a free tier, but hard to use apps usually lose free signups right at onboarding. Without built-in community templates or direct guidance most people drop off within minutes.

Switching to a short paid trial forces users to have skin in the game making them more likely to walk through setup examples and discover real value.

A law firm we were paying held every document we owned for a month, while our flight to Italy was already booked. I emailed every morning and every morning got the same answer: they were on it. Spoiler: they weren t. They disappeared. How I got the documents back is a story for another time.

Italy was my second country after Australia, where I d arrived at 21. Bad legal advice there meant my husband and I spent seven months living in different countries. Later, in Barcelona, a so-called gestora nearly took 10,000 from us before we understood she wasn t a gestora at all.

Three countries, and the lesson was always the same: the information exists, but it isn t for you. It s scattered across eight portals, written in legal language, and nobody is accountable for your case, so you end up trusting whoever you can find, a gestor, a Facebook group, a cousin, and you pay for every mistake in money, in months, or in a visa.

Let s help the next wave avoid mistakes

What would you tell a founder who just got their incorporation docs and opened a bank account?

Today, the productivity domain in tech is very well developed - there are tools for almost any need!

But at the same time, there s always a feeling that there might be something else, something better. All the time.

What I like about this space is that once people start using tools like Miro, Notion, Trello, ClickUp, etc., they tend to keep testing new things and experimenting with different tools.

We ve all heard about (or encountered) those engineers who may not be traditional full-stack wizards or algorithm experts, but they bring an incredible sense of product intuition, aesthetic feel, and energy to a team. They're fast, creative, and can spin up delightful MVPs or prototypes that just feel right. Think: indie hacker meets front-end flow state.

I m wondering:

Has anyone here tried building with a vibe-first mindset or brought on someone like that early on?

What worked, what didn t?

Hi everyone, I wanted to get some insights on how you guys structure your GitHub page to look like so it feels personalized, well-made and not AI generated? I'm a fresher just starting out in my career, I would love to get tips, especially from recruiters, on how to make my profile look good and not fake. One tip I've received in feedback from an interviewer is to not put extremely complex projects that I obviously made Claude write and I just learnt the theory of it.

Caution: We re treading on thin ice.

I understand why big companies lobby for better conditions in their field. I see it more as a form of collective interest.

I spend a lot of time around medical students (I am one), and lately I have watched classmates quietly build tiny apps for our year group a quiz from this week's lectures, flashcards, a tracker for clinical rotations. Small things, used by maybe 30 people.

A few things surprised me:

I built something last quarter that no customer requested. I built it because it annoyed me, and I assumed if it annoyed me it probably annoyed everyone.

It flopped. Almost nobody uses it. The people who do love it, which is a sentence I've written before and probably will again.
