I think AI killed SaaS. As a microsaas dev you need to step up the game. Move to hardware or data.

Shipped: Google One Tap sign-in for StackChanges.com

That seamless popup that appears in the corner? Multiple microsaas ppl told me it drove 20-30% more signups.

Only 30 mins to implement, potentially huge conversion impact. Love quick wins like this!

Feels good using my own product to grow another one. 🚀
With RelevantReply.com I can promote StackChanges.com
by joining real conversations on #Reddit, #X, and #Bluesky where it actually makes sense. #buildinpublic

I’ve spent months building. Now it’s time to sell. Next phase = 80% marketing, 20% coding. Let’s see what happens when I actually promote the stuff I built. #buildinpublic

My microsaas didn’t send any emails for a full week. No alerts. No new accounts. No order confirmations. Nothing. Turns out @SendGrid needed me to upgrade my plan but I got zero notification. I just upgraded. Now playing catch-up with a week’s worth of user confusion 😵

Been quiet lately, but working hard behind the scenes on stackchanges.com. Completely redesigned the UI with full light/dark mode support, better functionality, and clearer information. #buildinpublic

Just added an LLMs.txt to submitiq.com/llms.txt to make the site’s content accessible to language models. If it can’t hurt, it can only help with traffic, right? Learn more at llmstxt.org #buildinpublic

Clean code doesn’t pay the bills, but it sure makes me happy. Just spent way too long making sure every page of submitiq.com is W3C valid & semantically correct. #buildinpublic

Just released a new feature in submitiq.com called "Interactions". It monitors BlueSky and Reddit for relevant posts so you can jump in and promote your SaaS. It also syncs every 24 hours and emails you when it found new posts. #buildinpublic

You could use a tool like stackchanges.com for that, it checks all relevant ports every hour and sends an email when it finds changes.

I saw this TikTok about what works best to get your first users and thought to give number 2 a try. Today I'm building a small email function to see if it would work on a small sample. Keep you posted. #buildinpublic

First feedback is always great! Apparently it was unclear for some folks that they still needed to actually submit their website. They thought it would be done automatically when they flipped the toggle. I added a modal when you submit for the first time that explains it better. #buildinpublic

Posting on both Bluesky and Twitter lately. Bluesky's winning me over, it's less noise, more signal.
