Most software sold to Arab businesses was built for someone else.
Translated, Not designed.
That’s the gap.
That’s the opportunity, That’s why I’m here.

@MicroLaunchHQ Saudi law firms run on WhatsApp and spreadsheets, CircleLaw is the first tool built for how they actually work, not translated from how someone else works.

@ella_boswe88055 40% on read replicas from one reorder that's the kind of number that ends debates in sprint planning.
Middleware order is invisible until it's not.

[Ahmed Ata Elmannan @iElmannan]

Our rate limiter runs before authentication.
That means paid users and anonymous users share the same 100 req/hr bucket.
A power user hits the ceiling. Support ticket arrives.
We investigate for an hour.
The fix is one line, move check post-auth.
Middleware order is architecture.

@Joelpillar1 Building vertical SaaS for Arab law firms.
Real code, real market, day one on X.

@i_mika_el The second option of course

[Ahmed Ata Elmannan @iElmannan]

@PashaBorsai Every line should not be read, the main assumption is to understand the structure only.

We are decision makers, not reviewers, and this requires a higher level of knowledge

[Ahmed Ata Elmannan @iElmannan]

@nia_thinks Of course yes 😅

[Ahmed Ata Elmannan @iElmannan]

@zarazhangrui The gap you’re solving for: people who vibe coded something and now have no idea what they built.
I’m on the other side, real code, real market, zero audience.
Started posting publicly one hour ago.😅

[Ahmed Ata Elmannan @iElmannan]

@yongfook AI didn’t kill the spirit, It moved it.
Building in underserved markets still feels like the old days no playbook, no shortcuts, just you and the problem.

[Ahmed Ata Elmannan @iElmannan]

@robwalling @tinyseedfund Just started posting publicly today.
This reply might be fake work.
The SaaS I’m shipping tonight is not.

[Ahmed Ata Elmannan @iElmannan]

@tdinh_me That Middle East slice on the chart is smaller than it should be.
Building there now, The gap between AI adoption and available tools is the whole opportunity.

[Ahmed Ata Elmannan @iElmannan]

@levelsio In Riyadh, this isn’t a meme😅
It’s load-bearing infrastructure.

[Ahmed Ata Elmannan @iElmannan]

@dvassallo The origin story is the whole pitch.
Kids needed a backend. Dad shipped a product.
That’s a tighter feedback loop than most enterprise software teams ever get.

[Ahmed Ata Elmannan @iElmannan]

@arvidkahl The “cheat mode” framing explains why vibe coding feels hollow.
You shipped something , but you never charged at any boundary.
Building in markets with no prior art forces the real game.
