Be honest, solo founders:

Last week, how many hours went into building vs actually telling people about it?

Mostly code, a fair split, or you finally flipped it? #buildinpublic

[Prakash Chhetri @prakashchhetri_]

@mq_p honestly local businesses are a solid market for this, most of them just want someone to handle it for them

[Prakash Chhetri @prakashchhetri_]

@k_d_patel007 good point, opens would show who's drifting away before they actually cancel

[Prakash Chhetri @prakashchhetri_]

Hot take: most early SaaS products don't need a fancy dashboard.

A Monday email with the 3 numbers your customer actually cares about gets opened way more than any login page.

Agree or disagree? #SaaS

[Prakash Chhetri @prakashchhetri_]

@mathiasvrb for a first version yeah probably. if the email is what people open every week the login can wait

[Prakash Chhetri @prakashchhetri_]

@elbruno @M5Stack ok that's adorable, now I kind of want one

[Prakash Chhetri @prakashchhetri_]

@euboid tripling takes some nerve, love that it paid off

[Prakash Chhetri @prakashchhetri_]

@DARA_ventures yeah even a handful of DMs would probably tell you more than a month of posts. hope it goes well

[Prakash Chhetri @prakashchhetri_]

Hot take: most solo founders spend more time picking a tech stack than talking to the people they're building for. Agree or disagree? #buildinpublic

[Prakash Chhetri @prakashchhetri_]

AI builders, this or that:

Pick one model and use it for everything

or

Switch models depending on the task

Which camp are you in right now? #AI

[Prakash Chhetri @prakashchhetri_]

@daveclintonn the token bills alone would agree with you lol

[Prakash Chhetri @prakashchhetri_]

@BuiltAfter6 100%, ship the useful one and let the polish wait

[Prakash Chhetri @prakashchhetri_]

Be honest, nomads:

How long did you stay in your last city before you started looking at flights again?

A few weeks, a couple of months, or you booked the next one before you even landed? #DigitalNomad

[Prakash Chhetri @prakashchhetri_]

@Trace_Cohen ha and every quarter there's a new committee to evaluate it

[Prakash Chhetri @prakashchhetri_]

@BuiltAfter6 shipping your first iOS app on evenings only is no small thing. the polishing itch never really goes away ha

[Prakash Chhetri @prakashchhetri_]

@DARA_ventures fair, posting a lot isn't the same as talking to buyers either. ever tried just DMing a few folks who tried one of them?

[Prakash Chhetri @prakashchhetri_]

@tmhyt1 yep, nobody's ever churned because of the framework

[Prakash Chhetri @prakashchhetri_]

@lightsilver323 yeah hopping between five logins just to finish one thing gets old fast. one tool that actually completes the job would be way easier to keep

[Prakash Chhetri @prakashchhetri_]

SaaS builders, this or that: roll your own auth and billing, or pay for off-the-shelf tools from day one? Which way did you go, and would you do it again? #SaaS
