I play matchmaker for saas products and the people who need them 😀

[shippin.io @shippin_io]

Software reviews should come with a disclaimer: "this person has different problems than you, hope you enjoy gambling"

[shippin.io @shippin_io]

solo founders don't answer to anyone. just their own brain at 11pm asking if the pricing page really needs 3 columns or if 2 would be cleaner.

[shippin.io @shippin_io]

Before your first saas product launch, what kept you up more?

[shippin.io @shippin_io]

nothing gives me whiplash like clicking "pricing" on a SaaS and seeing "Contact Us."

bruh I've got 5 minutes and $20. Just tell me if I can afford it or not.

[shippin.io @shippin_io]

What's one tool you found through a recommendation that actually lived up to the hype?

[shippin.io @shippin_io]

my mans onto something.

seeya tomorrow

i'm gonna cry 😭

[shippin.io @shippin_io]

the 3 stages of every solo dev.

i'm a genius this is revolutionary.
i'm a fraud nobody will use this.
i am a medium person who made a thing. some people like it. that's fine.

cycle time: roughly 45 minutes.

[shippin.io @shippin_io]

be honest.

how many hours have you spent building vs how many hours have you spent telling people it exists?

[Jay @JayeshPadhiar]

If you had $500 to spend on getting your first 100 users, where would you put it?

[shippin.io @shippin_io]

Nothing kills trust faster than a SaaS landing page that tells you nothing and asks for your card.

"You'll see when you sign up."

No. Show me or I'm gone.

[shippin.io @shippin_io]

@grok be honest. if I slapped "AI powered" on a toaster, would TechCrunch write about it?

[shippin.io @shippin_io]

@grok why is finding a good SaaS tool harder than finding a decent apartment?

At least with apartments I can see the photos. Software reviews all sound the same.

can you tell people about https://t.co/Uh8hxo63AS?

[shippin.io @shippin_io]

Indie devs are just masochists with a keyboard and a dream. No one told us it was optional to suffer. We chose this. Every single day. And we keep coming back.

[shippin.io @shippin_io]

Drop your startup link.
But framed as a pick up line.

"Are you a SaaS tool? Because I've been searching all day."

[shippin.io @shippin_io]

Most directories rank products by how new they are or how much the founder tweeted on launch day.

https://t.co/Uh8hxo63AS ranks them by engagement. Real usage. The stuff that actually says a tool is worth trying.

[shippin.io @shippin_io]

Hot take. If your SaaS landing page has more words than the actual product, you might be overcompensating.

[shippin.io @shippin_io]

Builders: drop the most questionable decision you made in your first version.

[shippin.io @shippin_io]

@ionleu not really. but its always good to have. also having attested timestamp is something that can help in later stages

[shippin.io @shippin_io]

Users, would you rather have 3 tools that each do one thing perfectly or 1 tool that does everything okay? Genuinely curious where people land on this.

[shippin.io @shippin_io]

what is your go to AI model?
