Most people don't want a business.
They want to quit their job.
Those are very different things.

Nobody reads your landing page.
They read the headline and the price.

Big SaaS companies don't hate small businesses.
They just don't care about them.
That's the opportunity.

[John Paul @john_paul99]

100% agree, that's exactly why I built DocuAgree: reminders, unlimited recipients, and unlimited sends are all included for $4.99/month, no upgrade traps

[Kris Hristov @HristovBuilds]

Most e-signature tools don't really care about small businesses. They provide just enough to cover the basics.

Need to send a reminder? Upgrade.
Need to send copies to more people? Upgrade.
Business was great this month? Upgrade.

@OliverBugar Been there. Keep the paycheck and build nights and weekends until one product covers your bills for a few months, then jump. Betting on yourself doesn't have to mean betting the rent 🙌

@faqdev Building got cheap. Knowing exactly who to build for and how to reach them didn't.

You don't need:
❌ React
❌ Kubernetes
❌ a staging server

You need:
✅ customers

someone I've never met just paid for something I built in my sofa. I need a minute.

Talked to someone in their 40s who just opened their first brokerage account. Not because they didn't know about investing, they'd known for 20 years. They were just scared of doing it wrong. Knowledge was never the bottleneck. Fear was.

@ahmedgagan11 Cool idea!

@jonathan_wilke your site was the inspiration, but I took it more artistic: https://t.co/cK7zWCoyyB

instead of outbidding each other for a rank, everyone adds one word to a poem.

so far: "Somewhere between midnight and morning the river carries everything we never quite said"
