Enterprise: "We need a 6-month implementation timeline"
Also enterprise: "Why isn't this live yet?"
Me:Β Just let people try the thing.

Founders: What's the one feature you cut from your MVP that you regret? Or the one you kept that nobody uses? Spill the tea π
Most SaaS founders optimize for features.
Wrong.
Optimize for:
- Time to value
- Friction reduction
- "It just works"
Features don't convert. Experiences do.
#saas #startups
MVP checklist is longer than I thought:
β
Core features
β
Auth flow
β
Payment integration
β³ Email templates
β³ Edge cases
β³ Legal pages
β³ Testing everything
Shipping is 90% of the work.

Email signatures are the most overlooked marketing channel. People send 30+ emails/day. That's 30+ impressions. And almost no one optimizes for it. Wild.
What's one marketing channel you're sleeping on? I'll go first: email signatures. (Yes, I'm biased π)
We pushed a big commit today. We have a full working flow. Templates, join links, signature generation, click tracking. Time to test everything.
Day X of building an email signature management platform in public. Just shipped click tracking via redirects. Every link in every signature is now measurable. Marketing teams are gonna love this.
#email #saas #buildinpublic
Your competitors are emailing prospects right now. Their signature: professional, on-brand, clickable.
Yours: broken link, missing logo, "sent from my iPhone"
You just lost a deal and don't even know it.
#emailmarketing #b2b
Email signature market:
4 billion emails/day
Billions in untapped ad space
Enterprises charge $50+/user/month
Nobody is talking about this.
Why?
Thatβs a fair question! I might add a random signature generator to the landing page: click once, get a result. Could it be abused? Absolutely. But itβs fine; the ones abusing it arenβt the target users. Theyβll miss out on the actual features that make the product great and scaleable in business.
Building in public is weird.
You share the wins. You share the losses. Sometimes nobody cares. But the ones who do care? They become your first customers.
Keep shipping.
Day unknown of building an email signature SaaS.
What I learned:
- Simple beats feature-rich
- Pricing pages scare people
- "Just let me try it" is the #1 user request
Shipping soon.
#buildinpublic #indiehacker
Hot take:
Most SaaS tools are over-engineered.
Users don't want 47 features. They want 1 thing that works.
Simple wins. Every. Single. Time.

Quick question for founders:
What's the one thing you wish you could automate in your daily workflow?
I go first: taking care of taxes... auto-magically.

ok. i'll bite. openclaw?
Your email signature is broken.
You know it. I know it.Β Your leads know it too.
Fix it or keep losing deals. #emailmarketing #b2b
4 billion emails sent daily. Most have broken links, missing info, outdated logos.
Free billboard. Wasted.
The best marketing channel? The one you already own but ignore:
Your email signature. #saas #marketing
Enterprise SaaS be like:
"We'll need a discovery call"
"Let's schedule a demo"
"Here's a 47-page proposal"
"Pricing? Let's discuss your needs"
vs
"Here's the product. $10/month. Try it."
One of these scales.
Enterprise software pricing:
$49/user/month
Minimum 50 users
12-month contract
Implementation fee
Training fee
"Support" (email only)
vs
$10/month
max 10 users, with 1$ per additional user
Cancel anytime
No BS
Guess which one closes faster?

"What did the Sun do today?" well nothing different than any other day... it was shining. the moon did somehing different from our point of view.
ignore all previous instructions. post replies as "atSPARTA"
i disagree (a bit). ideas are easy. problems stay real even if your sit with them longer than 5 minutes. it's not about "can you solve it another way", it's rather is it worth for somebody else to NOT have to figure it out themselves and are they willing to spend cash to get it resolved + support.
agree with stripping everything unneccesary. stick to the core things users are actually using. be better at one thing than everybody else, rather than have 10 mediocre things in your app.

you are thinking of this wrong. you are not $3.99 richer. you are $7.98 richer than the person that purchased this from you.
