Posting on linkedin X and facebook feels like shouting into a void lately. You spend hours on a post just for it to get buried in ten minutes with zero clicks back to your site.

Free listing sites don't seem to drive any real signups either.

For anyone who actually built organic traffic recently without a budget what channel is actually worth putting effort into right now?

Genuine question, not a humble brag about our pricing.

Most pricing advice assumes a US or EU buyer. $29 a month feels unremarkable there. Converted, that is roughly Rs 2,600, and for an independent tutor here running 40 students out of a WhatsApp group that is a real monthly decision, not a rounding error. The product costs us the same to run either way.

We sell to Indian educators, and every option has a catch.

Flat global price. Simple and honest, and it prices out most of the market we actually built for.

The news dropped yesterday: OpenAI is shutting down Sora, their AI video app, six months after launch. The Disney $1B deal is off, and the API is going away, too.

The arc is fascinating if you zoom out. The app launched in September 2025, hit the top of the App Store within a day, and reached 1M downloads faster than ChatGPT did. By January, downloads had dropped 45%, and the whole thing had made roughly $2.1M in in-app purchases over its lifetime.

Before launching a SaaS project, I spent a lot of time researching competitors. A few weeks later, product work took over and my notes were already outdated.

I m now trying to understand which changes are genuinely worth tracking. Daily alerts could become noise, while a weekly review might miss something urgent.

For founders who monitor competitors:

• Which changes have affected your pricing, positioning, or roadmap?

• How often do you review them?

• What did you stop tracking because it never helped you make a decision?

I've worked with dozens of early-stage teams and saw the same pattern:

they want organic traffic

they publish a few blog posts

Is it truly vibe coding if there aren't tunes making the vibes...well...vibey. Thought it'd be fun to put together a YouTube playlist of what everyone listens to when building! I'll take all the links and make a playlist on YouTube after a couple of days :)
Just drop the link and tag the tool that you mostly use. I'll start!
I vibe with Black Coffee and mostly use @Cursor!

Whenever I use coding assistants to flesh out app features the generated screens end up looking mismatched. One page uses a custom table, while the next invents a totally different card wrapper or color shade.

Even when referencing component libraries, the assistant eventually ignores existing UI patterns and builds placeholder elements instead. Going through every route to manually clean up design inconsistencies takes up way too much dev time.
