SaaS Core

Show me your SaaS or MVP! Indie Hacker stoked on other builders!

[Jacob Counsell @JacobCounsell]

You can literally tell Hermes to make you a "distribution product" with LaunchChair and then have a deployed MVP built around a market wedge and ICP substitute behaviors in hours... without doing ANYTHING, do you guys know how big this is?

[Jacob Counsell @JacobCounsell]

Successful founders rarely have the best ideas, build the best products, write the best code, or even possess higher intelligence than other founders.

What separates them from unsuccessful founders is far less exciting...

They show up every day.

They do the work when nobody is paying attention.

They stay consistent long after the initial excitement wears off.

And when everyone else decides they’ve failed, they keep going and evolve.

Most founders don’t lose because they lack talent or intelligence.

They lose because they stop.

The next batch of winners are going to be the builders who understand the importance of product development tools and agent loops. They’re going to be builders who use real world data to build market informed products with killer wedges. They’re going to be builders who can ship scalable MVP’s as quick as possible then iterate once feedback comes in.

Stop spending weeks building and start shipping! Save your energy for rapid iteration and distribution! @LaunchChair helps you turn a sloppy idea into a finished scalable MVP built off of real world user pain and substitute behaviors, and now every project ships with a rock solid boilerplate so your MVP has SEO / GEO / AEO, security, proper architecture, agent md / design md, and hooks for everything you’ll need in the future.

A few weeks ago, I was inspired by @JacobCounsell in a conversation around a retro site that @tinytechfox had built with the help of @LaunchChair.

Today I spent some time building an 8-bit toggle on my personal brand site.

Felt fun... might delete later.

Yesterday I hinted at a @Buildhop_io partnership.

Today it’s live 🤝

Every BuildHop launch now gets authority tracking through VerifiedDR.

Because DR is useful, but it’s not the whole story.

Read about it here:

You can now Hop products directly from feedback within the founders feed on @Buildhop_io!

A highly requested feature enhancement.

[Inglehoff @Inglehoff]

as part of the Build In Public rules and regulations, I have started the sacred rites of product launch site applications.
Naturally I chose the best for first: @Buildhop_io

https://t.co/WcdWwd5WR0

[BuildHop @Buildhop_io]

We’ve partnered with VerifiedDR 🤝

Every BuildHop launch now includes authority tracking directly inside your analytics dashboard.

Read all about the partnership between @Buildhop_io and VerifiedDR

BuildHop now also shows DR & TrueDR scores. And launching on BuildHop now also launches on VerifiedDR

[BuildHop @Buildhop_io]

Working on synthesizing some data from this week's user interviews, and we're psyched to share some of our strengths that have been highlighted!

(Don't worry, we'll be sharing the "needs improvement" category too!)

[DevThijs @thijs_smudde]

BuildHop x VerifiedDR = win-win

[Jacob Counsell @JacobCounsell]

“Hey bro, would you pay for this?” is not SaaS idea validation.

I wrote a pretty deep article on how to validate your idea like a real product team in 2026!

Give it a read and tell me what you did and didn't do with your product?

[Jacob Counsell @JacobCounsell]

The reason we’re able to ship so quickly is because a lot of our apps were built with https://t.co/8sOgJsHVUj. With the new boilerplate and Agent API shipping apps with proper scalable structure, SEO / GEO / AEO, market wedge, and security is even easier!

A few products we built with LaunchChair…

[LaunchChair @LaunchChair]

vibe coding without a spec is just expensive guessing.

you ship fast, but you're rebuilding the same feature three times because the context lived in your head, not in the product.

LaunchChair gives your build a living spec that your AI prompts pull from automatically. Days not weeks, without writing a single prompt from scratch.

Doing gods work over here! Crazy how many launch sites are on the overrated list. 😂

[Jacob Counsell @JacobCounsell]

LaunchChair’s Validation phase is now completely free. (No credit card needed)

It helps you pressure-test an idea like a real product team before you waste weeks building around vibes.

The data you get for FREE:
💎market research
💎competitor analysis
💎substitute behavior mapping
💎ICP pain signals
💎customer complaint and delight patterns
💎wedge opportunities
💎MVP direction
💎early positioning signals

Why this matters:
If you’re starting something new, you need to know if the pain is real before you build.

If you already have a product, you need to know whether your current wedge, ICP, and positioning still match what the market is actually saying.

Most people skip this, build too much, then blame distribution.

Validation should happen before the MVP gets bloated, before the landing page gets vague, and before you spend months trying to sell something the market never asked for.

@LaunchChair gives you the product-team research layer for free.

Validate your idea now, no credit card needed!

[Daniel @madebydanl]

Did another with @LaunchChair
The results, impressive..

I like the fact that it provided me with the ICP pain score (very important) and the market saturation..

And I did all this with the free version🫰

Should I still go ahead with the build with the market saturation rate?

[ImNotAVirus @ImNotAV1rus]

Unfortunately, I realized that waaay too late
