Sahil Lavingia A few years ago, I started collecting .com's for my future startups and side-project. This is how I do it: every week, I export a list of ~200K domains currently listed on auctions. Then I use a combination of a few .sh scripts and AI to filter non-startup-related domains. The

There is one thing I love in the VC bubble that we, bootstrappers, lack completely. Let me explain using Lovable as an example. Their ARR growth is unimaginable high. This creates an illusion: AI SaaS generation works! But: They never shared their churn. It must be crazy high.

GPT5 it has the same level of awesomeness as Claude and Gemini 🤷‍♂️ Time to admit the race is over. They are all good now.

My side-project #13 (the 𝕏 account: Daily Startup Ideas 💡) generates 12k impressions per month. Plans for this year: 1) Grow it from 800 to 5k followers. 2) x2 the amount of ideas sent per day. 3) Start sending email newsletters. 4) Find first sponsor.

I was asked for a refund because I shipped too slow 💀💀💀 Problem: besides my own experience, I decided to stuff the guide with hundreds (105 so far) of examples of other makers doing $0 SaaS marketing. It takes a lot of time to find those. Also, I asked the top founders to

What inspires me most about my content project (mrr.guide) is not the content, but the community. I want my students to read, practice, share the results of doing, and then get real feedback. That would be nearly impossible to do naturally, by posting into the

I created the startupswiki.org site 14 months ago and never touched it. Funny, I did not plan to run a wiki site. I but created it in case I will want to work on it in the future. After a year, the site started to take off and raised my interest. Now I take it seriously. The

1 year ago I created a subr𝔢ddit for SaaS founders. My goal was to provide makers with stressless access to R𝔢ddit. So far: 1) Got 2.8k members (+10/day). 2) Average post gets 700 views and 3 comments. 3) 2.5 posts/day are published. It is an experiment: I want R𝔢ddit to

What happened to MakerMag? 🥲 I thought we finally got our own TechCrunch/Verge/TNW/Mashable. But it looks like an SEO dump now. Anyone wants to create a central mag for makers? There is still an opportunity.

Building a b2c product is the worst decision a founder can make 🫠🔫 Why b2c sucks: 1. Individuals pay little money (most paid iOS apps cost <$2). 2. There are tons of competitors. AI makes it even worse. 3. People don’t need functionality apps. They only buy entertainment (b2c

Indie makers' checklist (tick all to win the game 😁): [ ] lighthouse score: 100 [ ] launched on Product Hunt, got 12 upvotes [ ] reposted by levels [ ] ruined dopamine system [ ] caffeine addiction [ ] got blocked by garry tan [ ] 10+ hours wasted on setting up auth [ ]

You, as the #1 makers' voice, shall inspire other makers to share knowledge. Not put guilt for creating info products. I had been forbidding myself creating my course for years because I was under your influence. Now my book brings clients to people. And everybody wins.

Good Monday morning besties! After some slight hiccups (puppers high anxiety and airbnb deleting my account) we're officially in California! I am also looking for work. I'm an expert in PHP, Node/JavaScript/TypeScript, React/Vue/Angular and all things devops. There is not a

Welcome to the club! P.S.: I'm sorry, but mrr.guide won't buy you lambo 😁

come to the light side! 😁

Let's have some fun 😈 Reply with your startup link. I will tell you how it will die and how to avoid it. Only first 100 replies.
