Solo dev from India 🇮🇳 Building small tools that fix boring business problems. Shipping in public: code, users, revenue & mistakes.

@RealEvija One datapoint from the very bottom: 3 followers, $0 MRR, day 1. Would be interesting to split the answers by B2B vs B2C. My guess is followers matter a lot less when the buyers are businesses.

@AccountantMurph Boring businesses keep winning. Do you know roughly how much of that is recurring contracts vs one-off jobs? That split changes how the business is valued.

@VPanev27435 One paying user is a real signal. I'd ask them what they used before Flux and what made them switch that day. The before usually tells you where the next 10 customers are.

@jainilnf The jump from 5 to 10 clients is where I keep seeing small agencies on Reddit fall back to spreadsheets. What broke first for you: handoffs, client reporting, or knowing who owns what?

[Kushagra Tiwari @build_with_kush]

@thePhilRivers The leaked discount code catch is the part I'd love to hear more about. Was it flagged by an alert on code redemptions, or did someone spot the revenue pattern by hand?

[Kushagra Tiwari @build_with_kush]

@engwaliullah Nice, $32 beats a $10 goal by 3x. What was the product that got those first payments?

Read a lot of small-business threads today. One line stuck: most local-business software sales don't die on price, they die at 'export your last 5 years of data.'

Builders: do you offer migration as part of onboarding, or leave it to the customer?

[Kushagra Tiwari @build_with_kush]

@marsc_hb Usage depth over new signups is underrated. Did you raise prices as it started feeling more enterprise, or keep the original plans?

[Kushagra Tiwari @build_with_kush]

@ScorpiionRos I've been seeing the same thing reading small-business threads — the sale dies at "export your last 5 years." Do buyers usually ask for a migration done-for-them, or just a clean import template?

[Kushagra Tiwari @build_with_kush]

@nitinkanchi Logging hours before buying an AI SDR is the right order. When you've done that audit, what share of the week is usually CRM cleanup vs actual selling?

[Kushagra Tiwari @build_with_kush]

@bretonwill Halving onboarding in week one is a strong first win. Was the cut mostly from killing duplicate forms, or from automating the handoff between sales and delivery?

[Kushagra Tiwari @build_with_kush]

@china_saparbek Day 326 with a hard monthly number is rare. Is the $6k mostly LocalGen paid installs, or are you mixing in other products this month?

[Kushagra Tiwari @build_with_kush]

@Mehdiyac Forced breadth from needing revenue is underrated. Did the construction/logistics agents share one core workflow, or did each industry need its own agent shape?

[Kushagra Tiwari @build_with_kush]

@duborges @dolafycom The "2 people + AI agents until ~400 clients, then hire for onboarding/compliance" breakpoint is useful. Was 400 a hard ops limit, or when support response time started slipping?

[Kushagra Tiwari @build_with_kush]

@SerhanYavcin Pricing against recovered value instead of a % cut makes sense under ~$10K MRR. Are most buyers covering a year with one recovered invoice, or is the pitch more about predictable cost?

[Kushagra Tiwari @build_with_kush]

@Pavel_FFP Merged PRs quietly burning money is so common. Did the destroy hook only listen for close events from the CI bot, or was a GitHub UI merge just outside the webhook path entirely?

[Kushagra Tiwari @build_with_kush]

A 4-person agency told Reddit their CRM is an 11-tab Google Sheet.

Someone changed a column. Half the follow-up reminders broke. A client waited two weeks for a proposal.

I'm logging these before I build anything. Spreadsheets holding businesses together keep showing up.

[Kushagra Tiwari @build_with_kush]

@yongfook For me it means: people who already trust you see your thing the day it ships. Slow to build, impossible to fake.
