Building small saas in public. Sharing ideas, experiments, and failures.

[Nick @nickmlkc]

Starting a new chapter.

I'm building small software in public.

Goal:
create profitable Micro-SaaS.
Here I'll share:

• ideas I find
• tools I build
• experiments and results

If you're building too, follow along.

@ShotsAppHQ Glad to hear 😁

[Nick @nickmlkc]

Is @ShotsAppHQ dead? I kind of like it

[Nick @nickmlkc]

builders

how do you actually find saas ideas?

like real process, not theory

do you just:
solve your own problem?
scroll reddit?
scroll X?
see something and improve it?

idk still trying to figure what actually works

@MightofMe final boss of "i don't use AI"

[Nick @nickmlkc]

@Dave_Geoghegan_ sounds sick 😀 One of those ideas that’s way cooler in practice than it sounds.

[Nick @nickmlkc]

I’ve seen builders making $5k/mo with simple Reddit growth tools.

No massive teams. No VC funding. Just clean code and solving a specific pain point.

That's why i'm starting my own Micro-SaaS journey. I'm keeping the architecture lean. Let’s see how far we can take this. 🚢

The "Reddit Lead Finder" gold rush is officially a trap.🚩

Every other SaaS launch right now is a scraper promising to find "high-intent customers" on social media.

It feels like easy money, but i have 3 reasons why I’m skipping the "Lead Tool" trend:

[Nick @nickmlkc]

My Lean Stack for future build:

Framework: Next.js 15
Styling: Tailwind CSS
Components: shadcn/ui
Database: MongoDB
Auth: NextAuth
Goal: Zero bloat
Priority: Shipping speed over custom infrastructure

And what are you using to ship in 2026? 😃

[Nick @nickmlkc]

@UiSavior Simple tools like this are underrated

[Nick @nickmlkc]

Ideas are cheap. The filter is what matters.

I’ve narrowed down my next Micro-SaaS build. My criteria were strict:

Solves a "boring" but daily pain.

MVP build time: < 14 days.

Clear path to $1k MRR.

I’m picking mine based on utility and leverage.

Time to ship. 🚢

[Nick @nickmlkc]

I’ve spent too much time building "perfect" software that nobody used.

This time is different. I’m shifting to a Lean Architect mindset: Build fast, ship early, and listen to the market.

[Nick @nickmlkc]

I’ve seen hundreds of people overthink this space.

While they argue on X, quiet builders are stacking assets.

2026 will be when digital e-com goes mainstream — not theory, not trend.

Just people building, selling, and living off what they know.

Simple game. Real rewards.

[Nick @nickmlkc]

We’re entering a new internet era.

2026 won’t belong to influencers — it’ll belong to operators.

People who understand value, systems, and leverage.

Digital products are the new real estate.

Those who build now will own everything later.

[Nick @nickmlkc]

Every signal points the same way:

- buyer trust shifting to small creators
- platform fees dropping
- borderless payments opening up
- Digital e-commerce is entering its “Amazon 2008” moment.

It’s still early. But not for long.

[Nick @nickmlkc]

2026 will be the year digital e-commerce explodes.

Not because of hype — but because of infrastructure.

Payments are becoming borderless. Creation tools are frictionless.

And audiences trust independent creators more than brands.

If you’re not building a digital product now, you’ll be buying from someone who did.

[Nick @nickmlkc]

@thepatwalls 2026 will be wild for people like him. digital products will print harder than ever — fast builders who don’t overthink will own the new gold rush.

[Nick @nickmlkc]

@Mho_23 2025 is just the start. by 2026, digital products like this will be absolute goldmines. AI tools + niche offers = new wave of solopreneur millionaires.

[Nick @nickmlkc]

@JacbCayde damn, that’s insane. gotta feel wild seeing numbers like that hit.

[Nick @nickmlkc]

@FitFounder being in shape just makes people take you a bit more seriously, even if it’s dumb to admit.
