@romanbuildsaas well done mate at the core of every b2b saas is some kind of consisteng growth engine at the end of the day. many people forget this and throw everything at the wall

@sebastianvolkis dont work on ten ideas work on one

@jspujji Deck

@nickbakeddesign howd you make that step of charging people in your particular niche / design specialty more on a monthly recurring basis?

[Will McCartney @willmccartney00]

@lewiscarhart only aspect I'm confused on is the open-source element and how that is scalably monetisable but I'm sure there's many clever methods here depending on industry

- aweseome work mate! B2B SAAS in my industry is quite difficult to 'break through'

[Will McCartney @willmccartney00]

@rrhoover is the percentage you invest these checks for public

[Will McCartney @willmccartney00]

@sebastianvolkis why supabase for vector storage in the first place, while its not bad I've found at scale it gets outperformed by other vector DBs

[Will McCartney @willmccartney00]

@robwalling @paulg I think fundamentally people who are hanging around too much on X, especially for any B2B opportunity, could be shooting themselves in the foot. Your buyers / key customers aren't on here, unless you're selling to indie hackers or techies

[Will McCartney @willmccartney00]

@_opencv_ is this in reference to 11x or some other industry horror beyond mandmade comprehension

p.s. long live the bootstrapped revenue maxxers

[Will McCartney @willmccartney00]

@sebastianvolkis probably fair I mean you're deploying apps built with AI right - might be worth doing a bootcamp or something in your spare time to reaffirm your understanding of fundamentals particularly around security (which is where I see most AI-first devs getting caught out the most)

[Will McCartney @willmccartney00]

@sebastianvolkis makes sense I get you - but oftentimes for the higher leverage saas apps it takes like a year or more to understand if you have a decent long-lasting PMF which involves iterations of the core app ... I guess its the trade-off of committing to one thing

[Will McCartney @willmccartney00]

@growth_hc @yongfook am hoping this is sarcasm haha

[Will McCartney @willmccartney00]

@tropianhs Hey Antonio, given your obvious skillset as a dev, I reckon start a services agency - dedicated to a niche you know. You can get great recurring income quite quickly, which is less demoralising, and it then inspires ideas for B2B problems which need solving

[Will McCartney @willmccartney00]

@maxmarchione haha Aus is a hard grind no doubt for B2B

[Will McCartney @willmccartney00]

@tessiermaurice @leebetts_ I guess it depends, but it could be a particular community you're part of, it could be a larger company you build a specialised integration with, it could be a reseller, it could be access networks through events

[Will McCartney @willmccartney00]

@AnnieLiao_2000 just bootstrap gang and all the money you earn is your own or your employees tbh ... no pressure for growth or custody support

[Will McCartney @willmccartney00]

@jeremyphoward I assume you mean the backend is quite complex? what would be a few examples out of interest? Up until now my stack has often been fastapi backend, w/ docker or kubernetes depending on scale + nextjs or react frontend. What would fasthtml allow me to do quicker?

[Will McCartney @willmccartney00]

Confirmed: Sonnet 3.7 + Cursor still excellent as a workflow for frontend iteration and testing out different designs, without being committed to one.

Allows for a totally new way of coding imo... if you head down a pathway and don't like that outcome, your time isn't wasted
