I cannot use Stripe in my country but I needed some payments infra, I found Dodo Payments to be a good solution right now. Hopefully it stays that way.

Good DX and it's available in countries where Stripe isn't.

Hey, it’s Sunday.

You’re either pretending to take a break or staring at your analytics like they owe you money.

So let’s do something useful:

Drop your landing page, link or screenshot, doesn’t matter.

I will break down what’s wrong, what might save it, and maybe even throw a meme in there. And if it’s somehow good, I’ll say that too.

Let’s clean the mess.

Comments open. Go.

Huzzler and its small vibrant community is amazing.

I hope I never unintentionally violate any community rules, while I finesse my brand messaging.

If I do, I can count on Vincent on correcting me.

Ultimately, genuine effort will be appreciated...but not all forums.

Below I share a screenshot of a post that followed all rules, yet resulted in a ban on Reddit.

Have to be mindful of the language we use.

It's the ultimate form of (Prompt) Engineering.

Hey it's me again

A couple of weeks ago I launched DubaiDiscoverer.com — a portal all about Dubai and its top attractions 🏙️🌴 It’s been live for a bit, but few days ago… I gave it a serious glow-up. New look, smoother flow, and ofc 100% vibecoded.

You can browse cool places, add the ones you’re interested in, and the built-in planner will automatically spread them out over your days — so your trip is organized and optimized without lifting a finger.

BUT… I’ve got a huge problem with SEO.

The site isn’t indexing at all in Google Search Console. Zero. Nada.

What’s weird is — I have an identical version of the site in Polish (same structure, same setup), and that one is growing steadily in Google (second gsc screen).

There is sitemap, robots I even got few backlinks...

Anyone ever had something like this? Any ideas what might be going wrong? 😓

Would love to hear your thoughts! 🙏

Me and my co-founder took a few days off work.

Not for a vacation.

But for a 4-day marathon to try and finish our first SaaS.

Any tips to survive the grind?

Hey Huzzlers,

I have something very useful to share with you. It's what I just realised Yesterday And sharing it with you right now.

I was deep into building SnapStats.

Every new feature felt like progress like...

• This will give users more value.
• This will make it better.

Then I went deep—content effectiveness scores, referrer intelligence, lifecycles, dashboards.

It looked clean, worked well, but here’s the truth:

I didn’t even know what feature actually mattered to the user.

I was trapped in a cycle of building stuff because I thought it was cool, not because it solved a problem.

So I asked myself the real question:

If I had to pay for this product, would I?

And honestly, I couldn’t answer yes.

Because I built it thinking, “This would be cool” instead of, This solves a problem.

That spiraled into:

• Did I just stack features with no real reason?
• Am I solving anything—or just building what I want to see?

That’s when the clarity hit.

Users come for solutions, not features. If you love money? 👉 Solve one problem, solve it well.

I paused.

No dashboards. No code. Just me vs reality.

I sat down and asked myself:

• Who’s this really for?
• What’s the core problem they’re facing?
• Why would someone pay today?

And the biggest truth slapped me:

More features = more confusion.

Clarity? Gone. Value? Lost in the noise.

So I started cutting.

Stripping everything down to the one thing worth paying for. The real, core value.

I started focusing on solving a specific pain (let it be the very small one). And now, the vision feels clearer and way more focused.

So what you guys can learn from it?

When you’re stuck in the feature spiral, just ship your product with that one pain-relieving feature.

Forget about the extra features for now. Keep your long list of "cool features" saved somewhere, but launch with the one thing that’s actually worth paying for.

Here’s why:

When users come to your product, they’ll tell you what they want. You don’t need to guess or overbuild. Let me clarify....

Once you launch, gather feedback.

What are users asking for? What features do they actually care about?

Then look at your saved list of features and see if any of them align with what users are requesting. If so, you’re on the right track. If not, rethink. Don’t add unnecessary complexity.

The key here is simplicity and real-world validation.

• Ship your product early.
• Iterate based on real feedback.
• Don’t try to be everything to everyone right out of the gate.

(I only realized this yesterday, so trust me, I’ve been there!)

Final insight:

The world doesn’t need more features. It needs simple, effective solutions that solve real problems. Focus on that, and let your users tell you what comes next.

They’ll tell you what they need—you just need to listen. Example ... Huzzler itself.

The project

I build language learning applications, because I love learning languages.

So I built a game called Grake, which is inspired from the classic game Snake, except you grow the snake by capturing the words in the right order.

This is playful way to learn grammar, vocabulary, and syntax in foreign languages.

How I did it

1. Used Ahrefs to find common expressions that people search for such as :

How to say in spanish.

this resulted in 33,691 keywords in the USA alone.

2. I filtered for low KD and high SV.

3. Then created pages that exemplify the word or phrase that match that keyword in Grake.

As a result I created pages whose title, description, and keywords in the metadata contained said keywords.

After 1 month, I successfully ranked for 140 keywords.

Although only 1 of them is top 10, I feel optimistic about my strategy of generating traffic, while I continue marketing my language learning application.

Here's the video, where I show the proof and how I did it.

Let me introduce you to Groop, a product I've built out of pure frustration. Every time I wanted to meet with friends or plan a holiday it was a hassle of constant back-and-forth messaging to check who was available when.

That's why I created Groop, a simple and free solution. It works like this

• Go to groop.cc
• Create a Groop (Eg. summer holiday 2025)
• Send the link to friends
• Everyone can select available dates on a calendar
• The dates when everyone is available are highlighted in green

It doesn't get more simpler than this. No account creation required. No more back-and-forth-messaging.

Check it out: groop.cc

I've come across this website that gives you a decent amount of marketing blocks to use. Pair this with some good sales copy and you should be good to go.

Hi all,

I’m a college student trying to build my first SaaS product. I don’t have a technical background, and I can’t afford to hire developers, so I’m exploring free and low-code/no-code tools (what some people call “vibe coding”?).

Right now, I’m in the learning and planning stage. I don’t have a finished idea yet, just a strong interest in creating something real and figuring things out as I go. I’d love to hear from anyone who’s:

1. Built a SaaS without a tech background

2. Used free tools or no-code platforms to get started

3. Is currently working on a similar project

Any tips, recommended tools, lessons learned, or just general advice would mean a lot. I’m not trying to promote anything – just here to learn and connect.

Thanks in advance!

Yesterday I made a post on how to use Gemini + Gamma to make a website in minutes.

Honestly, it's an amazing combination.

But, did you know that GenSpark, can do a similar job for you without using any other tools ?

This was my prompt

I am creating a video on the meaning of colors across cultures.
return a well formatted report with a table on the meaning of colors across all the major cultures, such as Western, Chinese, Indian, West African, Native American, etc
make it into a presentation.

This is what it returned.

Now I can design my course on color design much faster.

Here's the YT Tutorial.

Hello everyone. Here are some tips on how to get your first 500 users for your SaaS.

Getting your first 500 users takes work, but it's possible if you follow a plan. If I were starting a new software business today, here are the 5 steps I'd take:

1. Find a real problem people have. Think about problems you deal with yourself or problems in areas you know well.
2. Talk to at least 10 people who have this problem. Ask them questions (like in surveys or calls): How do they handle it now? How much does it bother them? Would they pay for a solution?
3. Build a basic version of your product (an MVP) that solves the main problem. Don't add extra features yet, just make sure it works.
4. Let the people you talked to use your basic product for free. Ask them what they think. Use their feedback to improve it. Then, tell people about it in online groups where potential users hang out to get your first 100 users.
5. Improve the product based on what those first users say. Then, launch it on Product Hunt to get even more users.

Hopefully this helps some of you

Follow these steps:

1. Go to indiehackers(dot)com/products

2. Click on submit update

3. You will be redirected to your product (if not added, you need to submit your product first)

4. Write a post/update about your product

5. Once published, your update will be visible on the Build Board

Notes:

• Try to add updates on weekdays to get more benefits.
• Try to add new product updates at least twice a month.

Building the backend for your application is a critical decision that can significantly impact development speed, scalability, and long-term maintainability. Two popular approaches are using a Backend-as-a-Service (BaaS) like Supabase or building a traditional backend with frameworks like NestJS and databases like PostgreSQL. Both have their strengths and weaknesses, and the "best" choice depends heavily on your project's specific needs. (TLDR at the bottom)

Backend-as-a-Service (BaaS) - Supabase

Supabase is an open-source alternative to Firebase that provides a fully managed backend out of the box. It’s designed to help developers launch products quickly without having to set up and maintain their own backend stack.

What Supabase offers:

• PostgreSQL database with real-time subscriptions
• Authentication with social logins and row-level security (RLS)
• File storage with security rules
• Serverless edge functions for custom logic
• WebSocket-based real time updates
• Frontend-friendly SDKs for easy integration with frameworks like React, Angular, Vue, etc.

Benefits:

• Fast development: Great for building MVPs quickly.
• Low barrier to entry: Minimal backend expertise needed.
• Scalable (managed): Supabase handles infrastructure so you can focus on your features.
• Cost-effective for early-stage apps: Generous free tier and simple pricing.
• Open source: You can self-host later if needed.
• Smooth frontend integration: Built with frontend devs in mind and now vibe coders.

Disadvantages:

• Less customization: Limited control over the backend stack.
• Vendor lock-in: Migrating away can get tricky if you rely on Supabase-specific features.
• Scaling costs: Can get expensive at higher usage levels.
• Advanced feature learning curve: Features like RLS or edge functions take time to master.

Traditional Backend – NestJS & PostgreSQL

Going the traditional backend route means setting up and managing your own server-side infrastructure. With a framework like NestJS and a relational database like PostgreSQL, you’re in full control of how your backend operates. This approach is ideal for developers who want maximum flexibility, deep customization, and long-term scalability.

What it typically involves:

• Handling authentication, business logic, and API routes manually
• Deploying on your infrastructure (e.g., VPS, cloud platforms)
• Managing DevOps, monitoring, and scaling yourself

Benefits:

• Full control: Customize every aspect of your backend.
• Highly flexible: Integrate any library or service that fits your use case.
• No vendor lock-in: You own your entire codebase and database.
• Optimized performance: You can fine-tune performance and costs to your specific needs.

Disadvantages:

• Slower initial dev time: You’ll spend more time on setup and configuration.
• Higher barrier to entry: Requires backend knowledge and server-side experience.
• More upfront costs: Hosting, monitoring, and backups can add up.
• Boilerplate code: Expect to write more code for common features like auth, validation, etc.

When to Choose Which:

Choose Supabase (or another BaaS) if:

• You need to launch fast and iterate quickly.
• You or your team have limited backend experience.
• You want to focus mostly on the frontend.
• Your app has standard backend needs (auth, DB, storage).

Choose NestJS & PostgreSQL (or a traditional backend) if:

• You have complex or custom backend requirements.
• You want to avoid vendor lock-in at all costs.
• You have backend skills (or a team that does).
• Long-term cost optimization and full control are key to your strategy.
• You need to integrate with specialized tools, services, or workflows.

There's no universally "better" option. Supabase and NestJS/PostgreSQL represent different approaches to backend development, each with its own set of trade-offs. Ultimately, the right choice is the one that empowers you to build and scale your application effectively.

___________________________________________________________________________

TLDR:

BaaS (like Supabase): Quick to start, easy for frontend-focused teams, handles backend basics (DB, auth, storage) and scaling, but less customization and potential vendor lock-in. Good for fast MVPs.

Traditional (like NestJS & PostgreSQL): Full control and customization, no vendor lock-in, optimized for specific needs, but slower initial setup and requires more backend expertise. Better for complex, long-term projects. Choose based on speed vs. control.

I looked at starter kit made by WebDevCody and saw this rate limiter implementation.

Very easy to use and does the job, suitable for when you have only one instance. You would need something like Redis to scale this up for multiple instances.

You can check it out here -> https://github.com/webdevcody/wdc-saas-starter-kit/blob/main/src/lib/limiter.ts

Thanks for reading guys!

I was researching on the meaning of color across cultures, as part of a video I am working on. So, I need a research tool.

Now, I need to create a presentation or a website in minutes.

Can I do that ?

Yes.

There's a 2 step formula that I found:

1. Use a Deep Research Tool (Gemini, ChatGPT, etc) -- this is how I conducted my research.
2. Use a text to presentation maker, namely Gamma.App.

Here's the final output by gamma. Just crazy.

Here's the YT tutorial: https://youtu.be/Sz2jNt2KHCw

Something I've noticed is how often you can stumble upon potential SaaS ideas just by reading through Reddit.

If you browse subreddits where entrepreneurs, developers, or other professionals hang out, you'll frequently see people talking about problems they face or wishing for a specific tool to make their work easier. They might complain about a tedious task or ask if anyone knows software that does a particular thing.

When you see posts like that, it's often a sign that there's an unmet need. You could create something that other people will actually want. Maybe the existing tools aren't quite right, are too expensive, or people just don't know about them because of poor marketing.

What I've found helpful is keeping an eye out for these kinds of psots. If you see multiple posts over time where people describe similar frustrations or wish for the same type of tool, that could be a strong signal for a good product idea. It shows there's a real need people might be willing to pay to solve.

Just a thought I wanted to share. Has anyone else noticed the same?

I've used photoshop and Photopea (free web photoshop alternative) casually for the past 10 years but Photopea has recently been buggy for me to use.

Has anyone on here tried affinity photo 2? It's a one-time payment and is supposed to be very comparable with photoshop. I mainly need basic editing features such as layer styles. and be able to open and save images as .psd files.

I also tried Gimp but I really dislike the UI.

So if anyone tried it, feel free to let me know, anything is appreciated! Thanks guys

If you’ve recently launched (or are planning to launch) a product, service, or offer — I’d love to hear:

What’s been the hardest part?

• Design
• Messaging
• Getting conversions
• ...

I’m digging into how founders experience the website process — and your insights would mean a lot. 

OpenRouter.AI is an LLM and multimodal model inference management service.

You issue an API key once.

Then you choose which model you want to use.

Set your prompt.

Ready to go.

You can also use it for free (up to 1k requests / day)

Here's a short demo.

Hey everyone!

We are very excited to announce that you can now install Huzzler on your mobile device and receive push notifications. We have opted to use a PWA instead of a native app as we plan on shipping as many features in the coming weeks (problem / solution directory, accountability, marketing guides..).

To install the app: Simply visit the Huzzler homepage on a mobile device. A popup will appear with instructions on how to install the app. Cheers and let me know if you have any feedback 😁

Thanks!

A month ago, I had zero clue about tech. GitHub? Never touched it. Deploying an app? Sounded like something only real devs do. It felt like building your own app was reserved for ‘real’ developers — not someone like me who didn’t even know where to start.

But I had this idea — and instead of waiting until I “learn how to code,” I just went for it. I stumbled into the world of vibe coding, and it completely changed the game for me.

Three days later, I launched my very first app:

👉 BoomHabits.com — a simple habit tracker to help people stay focused, build routines, and feel proud of their progress.

And here’s the crazy part: three days after going live, 200 people signed up, and BoomHabits got 80 upvotes as Product of the Day on Fazier.com (we even hit #2 for a while!).

I know for a lot of you — devs and folks who’ve been in this world way longer — this might seem small, maybe even kinda funny. But for someone who’s never written a single line of code… this is huge!

Just wanted to share this little win — the vibe coding is just getting started for me. Maybe it’ll inspire someone else to take their first step too.

From the image below, it seems vibe coders have a long way to go before they can actually make safe and secure products.

"Even products from top devs get hacked too," yes, but they usually do know how to go around it.

The best way to prevent getting hacked include:

1. Familiarising yourself with the workings of your framework, programming language, libraries, etc.

2. Always use HTTPS everywhere!

3. Always hash passwords!

4. Use env. variables for api keys, passwords, client IDs.

5. Make sure you run your logs, so you can use them for forensic investigations if a security breach happens.

6. Use prompts such as 'Undertake a full review of any risks associated with exposing personal identifiable information to a malicious actor. Investigate, explain, resolve.' while vibe coding.

Please feel free to add any other pieces of advice.

Hello guys. We talk about tech stacks all the time, always using the latest shiny new javascript framework. But I'm wondering. What tech stack are you actually the most productive in? Can be different from what you use now, but what can you code the fastest with?

I just launched my second iOS app called FastZen – Fasting Tracker 🕒

It’s a clean, focused intermittent fasting app designed for people who want to stay consistent with their fasting routines without distractions or clutter.

I built it for anyone looking for a smooth, minimal experience—start a fast, get smart reminders, and stay on track with a clear overview of your progress.

Would love to get some feedback on the UI and the overall user experience 🙌

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/fastzen-intermittent-fasting/id6744087602

Hey everyone! Today I've added embeddable badges. All products listed on Huzzler have received an embeddable badge, feel free to add this badge to your website 😁

You can now also win gold, silver and bronze badges in the launch arena.

Hi there,

I need some recommendations and guidance. I'm working on a personal project that I want to turn into a SAAS. I have no experience at building a SAAS app and I want to understand the steps to do so. Right now the backend is built in Python and I was thinking of Flask for the front end. Where should I start to take it to the next level? Thank in advance

This is the 3rd part of the Vibe Coding tutorial series. If you missed the first two, you can check them out here:

• First Post - Vibe Coding: How to Build Anything Using Simple English Prompts
• Second Post - Cursor Rules Guide

This is a guide to connect GitHub with Cursor using MCP (Minimal Command Protocol). MCP allows you to interact with GitHub directly from Cursor. Once connected, you can use prompts like:

• Create a new repo with the current app you’re building
• Push your code to GitHub with a single command
• Search for repositories, pull requests, or issues
• Edit files or manage issues without needing to type Git commands

Just give Cursor a prompt, and MCP handles the rest, making your GitHub workflow effortless!

Step 1: Generate a GitHub Token

Visit this link: Generate Token

• Name your token
• Set the expiration date (I usually set it to "30 Days")
• Under Repository Access, choose “All repositories” or select specific ones as needed

Step 2: Set Basic Repository Permissions

Give read and write access to the following scopes:

• Actions
• Administration
• Commit statuses
• Contents
• Issues

Scroll down and click Generate token, then copy the token.

Step 3: Connect via Smithery

Go to: Smithery GitHub Server Setup

• Log in with GitHub
• Select the IDE you're using (Cursor, Windsurf, etc.)
• Paste your GitHub token under githubPersonalAccessToken
• Click Save and Connect

Note: Smithery is open-source, but be cautious when giving access to your personal account.

Step 4: Add GitHub MCP to Cursor

Once you've clicked Save and Connect on Smithery, you'll get two options: npm or JSON. I recommend choosing JSON.

1. Click on JSON, then copy the full configuration.
2. Open Cursor
3. Go to Settings → MCP Servers → Add New Global MCP Server
4. Paste the JSON you copied
5. Hit Save

Step 5: (Optional) Enable YOLO Mode

Cursor → Settings → Features:

• Enable YOLO Mode to let the agent run tools without asking for confirmation each time
• Enable Delete File Protection so files aren’t deleted without warning

With this setup, Cursor can:

• Create/Edit and upload repositories
• Search repositories, issues, and users
• Push code directly to GitHub
• Automate workflows

Coming up next:

A full guide on installing browser-tools, no more screenshots or back-and-forth debugging. With this, Cursor can directly interact with your browser.

You’ll be able to open Inspect Element (F12), click on any section of your site, and then just go to Cursor and ask: "How can I improve this?" or "What’s wrong here?"

It can read the DOM, check console errors, network logs, and even take screenshots.
