#BuildInPublic#SaaS
I wasted hours trying to build my first SaaS.
The villain? Not my code. My AI tools.
Building a product means spending 12 hours/day on ChatGPT, Gemini, & Claude. But their core workflow is broken for power users.
Every single day I faced: π« Endless manual scrolling to find context. π« Losing crucial code snippets/prompts in 100-message deep chats. π« Acute context loss.
I realized I wasn't fighting the logic of coding; I was fighting my toolbox.
I asked Reddit if I was the only one losing my mind over this. The response was massive. 56K+ views. (See screenshot). Thousands are suffering the same fate.
So, I built the fix. β‘
Say hello to Boostrix β Your AI Second Brain. A zero-bloat, Vanilla JS toolbox that just does two things perfectly: 1-click pinning for context and instant nested folders.
The tool I desperately needed is finally here. (Link in replies!) π

The harsh reality of building a Micro-SaaS: Writing code is 20%. The distribution is 80%. π
Last week, I pitched my AI Chrome extension (Boostrix) to 10 big creators. The result? Absolute crickets. π¦ Zero replies.
Did it stop me? Nope.
Realised my mistake, changed the strategy, rewrote a much softer, non-salesy pitch, and targeted the right nano-creators.
Just fired off a fresh batch of cold emails today. You only lose the game when you stop hitting 'Send'.
Let's see what happens next! π€ #BuildInPublic #IndieHackers #MicroSaaS #SaaS #Coding
Why are AI Chrome extensions with 100k+ users failing?
Bloatware. π§΅π
I read hundreds of reviews for top ChatGPT sidebars. The #1 complaint? "It freezes my browser." They tried to build a heavy OS inside a simple sidebar.
So, I went the exact opposite way. β‘
I just shipped Boostrix: a zero-dependency, pure Vanilla JS extension built to do exactly 2 things perfectly: ποΈ Unlimited nested folders for AI chats π 1-click pinning for prompts/code
No tracking. No lag. Just pure speed.
Today, I published two brutal "Us vs. Them" SEO pages taking Goliath head-on. The David vs. Goliath SEO game begins now. π―
Link to the extension in the first reply! π #buildinpublic #indiehackers #microsaas #seo
Just deployed a massive SEO update for Boostrix! π
Instead of cluttering my main Netlify landing page, I built a pure Vanilla JS/HTML "Free Tools" architecture (1 page = 1 tool). β Free AI Prompt Optimizer β Chat Token Calculator
Also, just fired off 10 cold emails to YouTube AI creators offering a 40% affiliate split. Iβm not chasing crazy VC funding, I just want to find my first 100 true fans who value a clean, lightweight context manager.
The hustle is real. Will share email reply rates soon! π #buildinpublic #indiedev #SaaS #microSaaS
@yabsssai I validated this idea with real users. It solves a genuine problem faced by thousands of people, which is why the adoption is happening organically
43 installs. 48 hours. zero ads.
People are done settling for bloated AI extensions.
search "Boostrix" on Chrome Web Store and tell me what's broken π#buildinpublic#indiehacker

π Officially launching Boostrix: Your AI Second Brain!
Tired of endless scrolling and losing perfect prompts in ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini? I built a lightweight Chrome extension to pin, organise, and save your chat context instantly.

If you use ChatGPT or Claude for serious work -
You've lost prompts mid-chat. Scrolled forever for one message. Rebuilt context from scratch. Again.
I got so frustrated that I built the fix myself. 22. Can't code. 3 paying customers on my first SaaS.
Let's go. #BuildingInPublic
Iβm building a "Second Brain" for AI Power-Users. π§΅
If you use ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini for 4+ hours daily, you know the pain: β Infinite scrolling to find one code block. β Losing elite prompts in 200-message chats.
I'm fixing "Chat Khichdi" forever. π #buildinpublic
I built my first SAAS: https://t.co/HPSFflTeNR
And Iβve already got my first 3 paid customers.
Now Iβm stuck on the next step:
How would you get the next 10 paid customers if this were your product?
