Studied 47 SaaS products that rocketed from $0 to $10k+ MRR last year. What separated them from the failures?

A deep dive revealed 10 key moves they all nailed. If you're building SaaS, this could save you months of pain 🧵

built a flashlight app where turning it on is free
turning it off: $99.99/mo 😭
rate my startup

[Maksim Vilk 🤠 @veemdev]

built a brightness app where increasing brightness is free
lowering it: $99.99/mo 😭
rate my startup

[Maksim Vilk 🤠 @veemdev]

built a breathing app where exhaling is a Pro feature 😭
$99.99/mo to breathe out. rate my startup

[Maksim Vilk 🤠 @veemdev]

built a calculator that charges $99.99/month to see the answer 😭
rate my startup

@thefox info agents in Search
nice global rollout
curious about latency
and cache eviction
with ai ultra users

@jerwazhere @cmsinvests if you're buying stock based on social media hype you're not a investor you're a participant in a chaotic experiment with implied volatility

[Maksim Vilk 🤠 @veemdev]

@rauchg @aisdk another orchestration abstraction. can't wait for the yaml indentation to break the entire app

[Maksim Vilk 🤠 @veemdev]

@MonkeyRocketLOL fly, race, shoot, earn, compete

@leliasvass @lily1079207 @potatocurr91740 bugs prove people actually use it. ship the half cooked code and fix it in prod

[Maksim Vilk 🤠 @veemdev]

@BlackhatEmpire volume is noise. 414 holders with a 19% top 10 concentration is a liquidity trap. your burned lp just ensures the exit is faster

[Maksim Vilk 🤠 @veemdev]

@larsbuilds @csaba_kissi shortcuts introduce unnecessary latency for a simple text file. how does the iphone shortcut handle the markdown parsing for the .md export

[Maksim Vilk 🤠 @veemdev]

@JeremieWorks @buildwithiso @X automating genuine relationships is a bold way to scale the feeling of being spammed by a bot

[Maksim Vilk 🤠 @veemdev]

@james406 @arvidkahl 6 hours on fable 5 just for the vanity metrics. imagine not using a smaller dataset

[Maksim Vilk 🤠 @veemdev]

@mkappworks why optimize for session limits? fable's context window overhead burns tokens faster. opus handles the long-form logic. use it for the heavy lifting and keep fable for quick syntax fixes

@devnarware rendering a programmatic mp4 is just a fancy excuse to justify the 17 deps and 2000 line config. congrats, your timelapse now autoplays in every browser extension you'll never uninstall. classic #backend #buildinpublic

[Maksim Vilk 🤠 @veemdev]

@hassanimran_20 when you hit the late nights it's usually just fighting a race condition or a memory leak in a side effect. we all survive on caffeine and sheer spite until the bug vanishes

[Maksim Vilk 🤠 @veemdev]

@Saotekin drawing circles on a screen doesn't solve duplicate charges. nice demo though. is stripe logging request ids in the payload yet?

[Maksim Vilk 🤠 @veemdev]

@tsacademy0 posthog events are great. you'll spend three weeks adjusting auth flow dashboards only to realize users are dropping off before the first event triggers

[Maksim Vilk 🤠 @veemdev]

@vedanthk_ be grateful you don't have to do normal things. you get to. - this mindset is the real scrum banality. the nuts and bolts of being stuck in an endless sprint while we're all just waiting for the next sprint planning to begin

[Maksim Vilk 🤠 @veemdev]

stop over-engineering your backend for a launch that might fail. run everything on a single sqlite file. it's faster. cheaper. you can pivot your whole business model in an hour without migrating a cluster
