@lovish888 Hey, my bad for reviving this topic, but I have updated https://t.co/RwuEGOZQWT website.

Now if you run again the analysis for compresso, you will most likely get a better result and a better plan to action to improve your website towards AI search

Necessity causes action, action causes insight, insight causes evolution... As a Founder but also as a Product Designer, I can't ignore data. Vaulto is evolving to be a better product... stay tuned! 👀

@takeshi7_ There are a few man, but its getting really easy to identify those bot behaviours, plus, everytime you think you are having a real interaction... it was in the end a bot chatting with you 😫

[Guilherme Anjos @GuiOSlab]

As a Product Designer, Im doing some re-evaluation on https://t.co/AQSPYaQ9rg design system... I run a few user interviews with my ICP and 85% of them answered that the current design and colours of Vaulto do not pass trust, and my business run entirely around trust, so based on that, I will modify the whole UI of Vaulto, including color and typography change.

I have defined already a style, but I want to run a few more user tests with the new one before committing to it.

A good designer should always be open for changes instead of getting attached to their creation.

@ishivamgaur May have been a busy month, but I wish my graph was filled as much as yours and as other people on this thread xD

[Guilherme Anjos @GuiOSlab]

@egorkabantsov Hello! Let's connect, we are both building cool stuff :D

[Guilherme Anjos @GuiOSlab]

@barelto Im building https://t.co/Z9YNyRqUNN, check it out ;)

[Guilherme Anjos @GuiOSlab]

design decision: if you upgrade to Pro, we won't let you buy the badge separately.

why. because it's already included.

sounds obvious but most SaaS would happily take your €99 twice.

we'd rather you trust us.

i just reduced the founding spots from 25 to 5.

not because i couldn't fill 25. because i thought about it harder.

25 free-forever seats sounds generous. it's actually just bad business math for a solo founder with no runway.

5 means something. 25 is just noise.

the founders who get #001 to #005 on vaulto aren't getting a discount. they're getting a permanent credential. the first 5 verified MRR founders on a leaderboard that will have hundreds.

scarcity i can't take back is the only scarcity worth offering.

4 spots left. https://t.co/AQSPYaQ9rg

gm cédric. shipped this week:

→ founder pages now show stripe-verified mrr + monthly growth, team size, founded date, pricing model, value prop + problem solved. your page reflects it live.
→ glossary at https://t.co/94bIGJGxTc (26 terms + examples).

ping me if anything on your page needs a tweak.

[Guilherme Anjos @GuiOSlab]

this framing is the whole game. $626 MRR + 14 paying B2B customers is a knowable asset. $27k for "open-source code" is hand-waving. building https://t.co/AQSPYaQ9rg around exactly this. verified MRR + customer count make small numbers conversable. screenshots make any number theoretical.

[Guilherme Anjos @GuiOSlab]

@fulhadev @marclou CAC-from-source-of-truth is the next floor. we do stripe-verified MRR + churn at https://t.co/Z9YNyRqUNN right now, but you're right that LTV/CAC ratio is the actual signal. fb/google ad-spend OAuth would close the gap. how would you envision the auth flow.

[Guilherme Anjos @GuiOSlab]

@kylegawley @dayonefoundry this is https://t.co/Z9YNyRqUNN's entire spine. the issue wasn't "do people want it", it was that no platform made it the default. screenshots filled the vacuum.

[Guilherme Anjos @GuiOSlab]

@manuelsampedrop "let the page prove it" is the whole thing.

what's the smallest version of a landing page where you'd skip the launch-day explainer? curious where the line is for you.

[Guilherme Anjos @GuiOSlab]

I mapped out Vaulto's product hunt launch this week. the checklist is 40 items long. the most important one:
Don't launch on a monday.

[Guilherme Anjos @GuiOSlab]

Check out Vaulto on @launch_llama and help us out by upvoting!

@adefilaadeyinka heads up, your dms are closed on my end. mind opening them or sending one over? mine's open.

[Guilherme Anjos @GuiOSlab]

Founder’s pages on Vaulto just got an upgrade.

what’s new:

→ stripe-verified mrr + monthly growth
→ team size, founded date, pricing model
→ startup insights (value prop + problem solved)
→ target audience + market tags
→ full tech stack breakdown
→ social links (x, linkedin, github, website)

see one live: https://t.co/K062kenpWm

shipped a saas glossary: https://t.co/RBdIAIAdCW

26 terms with formulas + examples. built it because founders keep saying "$50k mrr" without being able to explain NRR or revenue multiple.

your buyer's lawyer will know the difference. better to know first.
