Building an AI-Powered Launch Platform Feedback & Potential Connections Welcome

Hey founders & builders,

For the past year, Iโ€™ve been developing a platform to solve a problem that drained me in my last business spending thousands on websites, designers, marketers, and adsโ€ฆ without clarity or control.

So I decided to create something that does it all but powered by AI, and manageable even if you're solo.

Hereโ€™s what weโ€™re launching:

๐Ÿ”ง AI Website Generator

Start with a short conversation. Our AI builds a fully functional website tailored to your product, niche, and goals. Need a landing page or an entire site? It adjusts automatically.

๐Ÿ“† Smart Content Calendar

Automatically generate 30+ pieces of branded social content every month. Scheduled, platform-optimized, and editable.

๐Ÿ“ฃ AI-Powered Ads

Create, test, and manage Facebook & Google ads with AI recommendations and optimization. No more ad agency retainers or guesswork.

๐Ÿ’ฌ Your AI Buddy

Our assistant handles tasks via chat "Launch a $10/day Facebook campaign" or "Write me 5 tweets for this product" all you do is ask.

๐Ÿ“Š Unified Dashboard

Track your website, content performance, and ad campaigns in one place. Clean, simple, and built for non-techies.

The goal:

To make launching & growing an online business as easy as chatting with an assistant without needing a team, budget, or experience.

Weโ€™re still building and weโ€™d love your feedback.

What would you want a platform like this to do? What should we avoid?

If you want you can check out our waiting list pre-sales landing page at:

https://ai.nexalumen.com

Honest takes welcome.

Thanks in advance happy to answer anything or show previews!

Shipping fast is great but also is security

I saw another post about security in the community, and I felt like adding a few more points because letโ€™s be real, you can never have enough security ๐Ÿ˜…

With the rise of "vibe coding" and rapid prototyping, the security aspect often gets left behind. But if you're shipping something users will interact with, it's worth taking a moment to lock down the basics.

Here are some simple principles to help keep you and your users safe (or at least safer):

1. Always sanitize and validate user input

Never trust input coming from the user.

Yes, many modern frameworks have built-in protections, but adding your own validation layer ensures nothing weird slips through. Itโ€™s better to be safe than sorry.

2. Encrypt all traffic using HTTPS

Ensure all communication between your users and your server is encrypted using HTTPS.

You can do this by obtaining an SSL certificate many hosting providers offer it for free by default. Unencrypted traffic can expose sensitive information, making HTTPS a basic but essential layer of security.

3. Hash passwords properly

Passwords should never be stored in plain text under any circumstances.

Use strong, modern hashing algorithms such as bcrypt or Argon2, and ensure that each password is salted before hashing. Older algorithms like MD5 or SHA1 are no longer considered secure and should be avoided entirely. Proper hashing significantly reduces the risk of password leaks being easily exploited.

4. Log smartly

Logging is great for debugging and tracing bugs/security issues but be smart about what you log.

Never store sensitive info like tokens, passwords, or anything a bad actor could use to impersonate someone.

Security doesnโ€™t have to be overwhelming, but it does have to be intentional.

Even small improvements go a long way especially when you start building for real users.

Got any other quick security tip?

Pricing Model Comparison (Pros & Cons)

When launching or developing a SaaS product, selecting the correct pricing approach may make or break your business's success. Each freemium, free trial, subscription, and lifetime deal model has advantages and disadvantages, and the optimal option often depends by your product, audience, and goals.

Here is a simple breakdown of each model:

The Subscription Model: The Old Reliable

With subscriptions, users pay monthly, quarterly, or yearly to keep using the product. Itโ€™s super common and for good reason.

For users:

  • โœ… Lower upfront cost
  • โœ… Ongoing support and updates
  • โœ… Can scale up or down with different pricing tiers
  • โŒ Might end up paying more over time
  • โŒ Another monthly fee to track
  • โŒ Can feel locked into the service

For businesses:

  • โœ… Predictable, recurring income
  • โœ… Builds long-term customer relationships
  • โœ… Easier to forecast growth and cash flow
  • โŒ Youโ€™ve got to keep delivering value to reduce churn
  • โŒ Higher upfront investment in building and maintaining the product

Lifetime Deal: Quick Cash, Long-Term Trade-Off

This oneโ€™s simple users pay once and get access forever. No more bills. Lifetime deals are especially popular for early-stage products looking to raise quick funds or attract early adopters.

For users:

  • โœ… One-time payment = peace of mind
  • โœ… No ongoing fees
  • โŒ Might not get future updates or support
  • โŒ If the product doesnโ€™t last, they lose out

For businesses:

  • โœ… Brings in fast cash
  • โœ… Attracts early users who can give feedback
  • โŒ No recurring revenue = limited growth
  • โŒ Long-term support for users who never pay again
  • โŒ Can hurt perceived value of the product

Freemium: Free Forever (Until You Want More)

Freemium gives users basic features for free, with the option to pay for more advanced stuff.

For users:

  • โœ… Easy to try without commitment
  • โœ… Can stay on the free plan if needs are simple
  • โŒ Limited features
  • โŒ Might have ads or nudges to upgrade

For businesses:

  • โœ… Low friction for sign-ups
  • โœ… Potential for word-of-mouth growth
  • โŒ Feedback from a wide range of users
  • โŒ Can get expensive to support all the free users
  • โŒ Usually low conversion rates unless the upgrade is compelling

Free Trial: Try Before You Buy (For Real)

Free trials give users full access for a short time think 7, 14, or 30 days so they can explore everything before paying.

For users:

  • โœ… Full access with no risk
  • โœ… Helps decide if itโ€™s a good fit
  • โŒ Limited time to evaluate everything
  • โŒ Lose access if they donโ€™t upgrade

For businesses:

  • โœ… Shows off your productโ€™s value
  • โœ… Can lead to higher conversion rates than freemium
  • โŒ Need solid onboarding to help users see the value fast
  • โŒ Might attract people who just want a quick free ride

So there you have it: an overview on SaaS pricing. There is no single "right" method to do it, it all relies on your product, who you want to target, and what your objectives are. You could even combine a few of these! The main thing is to consider what makes the most sense for your business and to keep changing as you learn what works best.

Vulnerability as a service???

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.

BaaS vs. Traditional Backend: Choosing Your Weapon

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. Itโ€™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 โ€“ 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, youโ€™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: Youโ€™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.

trying to build a SaaS using free/no-code tools โ€“ looking to learn from others

Hi all,

Iโ€™m a college student trying to build my first SaaS product. I donโ€™t have a technical background, and I canโ€™t afford to hire developers, so Iโ€™m exploring free and low-code/no-code tools (what some people call โ€œvibe codingโ€?).

Right now, Iโ€™m in the learning and planning stage. I donโ€™t have a finished idea yet, just a strong interest in creating something real and figuring things out as I go. Iโ€™d love to hear from anyone whoโ€™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. Iโ€™m not trying to promote anything โ€“ just here to learn and connect.

Thanks in advance!

Web2 to Web3: Why Entrepreneurs Should Consider Ethereum?

Listen, I hear you. As someone whose been an active participant in the blockchain world for the last decade, I know that Web3 is be associated with scams, tokens and 15 year olds making thousands of dollars overnight.

Thats not all that web3 is. Tokens, NFTs and lambos.

Under the noise, what it really is is: a new value creation model.

As a traditional entrepreneur online you get typical four revenue models:

  1. Subscriptions (SaaS)
  2. Advertising
  3. One off buys (content)
  4. Consulting (selling hours)

Web3 provides a few more and some of them might be a bit out there, but hear me out.

In Web3 we have:

  • Asset Ownership: digital ownership through NFTs and tokens, creating new revenue streams beyond advertising and subscriptions.
  • Fractional Ownership: own a part of something big
  • Tokenization: Convert user participation, content creation, and platform value into tradable digital assets.
  • Community Ownership: Allow users to become stakeholders through governance tokens

On top of that, there are millions of users around the world who have funds available to spend, with a click using their un-custodial wallets.

Competitive Advantages

  • First Mover Benefit: Makes dApps a place to leave your entrepreneurial mark because players aren't established as well as in other industries.
  • Money is Already there, locked and loaded: With a rapid innovation spree you get access to millions of dollars of potential revenue in an area where dominant players are still getting established and users are lurking around so to say.
  • Enhanced Trust: Transparency and immutability of blockchain reduces need for trust in platform operators. People operate million dollar businesses, or d-exchanges or Real World Assets (RWA) on chain without ever knowing the people they interact with.
  • Composability: Build on existing protocols and infrastructure rather than starting from scratch. Here my biases are towards Ethereum, its practically programmable money that can be taken either direction. So many tools and examples out there - you can deploy pretty quick.

Planning Your Move

Practically I'd say the best way is to work with Hybrid Models. Integrating your Web2 solutions into Web3, or vice versa.

i can go deeper into theoretical explanations, but as a fellow enterpreneur - ain't nobody got time for that.

So instead, I'll bring out a few examples that I think are important to illustrate how it all works:

  • A client of mine FX1, they gather, deliver and sell sports data and AI Analytics on that data. They launched a token, and made their token holders stake holders where they verify the data and make sure that there are no mistakes. At the same time, they get the upside into the platforms success.
  • Another Model I like is Libraro - they merged the world of book publishing together with the digital ownership of blockchain, making it fraction-able and enabling many writers to get access and rewards from their work.
  • tBlocks on the other hand found a good way to tokenize the real estate of Albanian coast to global investors, giving somebody lets say, in Shanghai, an opportunity to own a stake in a beachfront property development, in Albania (spoiler alert: I liked the idea so much I angel invested).
  • Another startup tokenizing a fleet of rental cars in Dubai - you own a piece of the fleet, and get your paycheck of returns every month.

Now probably these use cases all raise the idea of how does this work? Well the way it works is through the power of smart contracts. Once a smart contract is programmed, audited and deployed - that means that nobody can change the logic of it. Unlike a normal application where we can push code continuously - the contract is set in stone.

That means that if I audit the content of a particular contract, and I just need a wallet to interact with it, then I trust the logic of that contract and therefore I can interact with it with a security that I wouldn't with other entities.

Thats how exchanges like Uniswap or 1inch manage millions in liquidity daily. Code is omnipotent, and our tokens are its subject.

Given those powers you can see how many avenues of entrepreneurship are available within the sphere.

What do you think? Would you be interested to dabble in Web3? Any cool ideas or applications that come to mind?

The next visionary Web3 founders will have to think first principles.

I plan to go deeper into the technical side if this resonates with a few people, on a new couple of posts. Let me know your thoughts.

How I built 3 apps in 2 months (still not profitable and it's ok)

Iโ€™ll start by apologizing for the title โ€” I swear it wasnโ€™t supposed to be one of those "you won't believe what happened when I drank vinegar and cinnamon" type of headlines (does anyone else get bombarded by those insane ads?). ๐Ÿ˜…

Two months ago, I didnโ€™t even know what GitHub was. Today, Iโ€™ve shipped 3 real apps:

  1. ๐Ÿค‘ WillTheyConvert
  2. ๐Ÿ’ฃ BoomHabits
  3. ๐ŸŒด DubaiDiscoverer

Theyโ€™re not perfect. Theyโ€™re not profitable. But they prove ONE IMPORTANT THING: Anyone can start building.

Back then, I had zero technical skills. GitHub, npm install, APIs โ€” all sounded like magic to me. I didnโ€™t buy courses or join bootcamps. Instead, I watched free YouTube videos.

My first project was BoomHabits.com โ€” just another habit tracker. But not because the world needed one more habit tracker. Not to make money. But to LEARN. To finish something real. To prove to myself: "I can." And 3 days after launch? BoomHabits had 200+ users and even got a lot of love on Fazier (#3 Product of the Week)! For someone who didnโ€™t even know what GitHub was weeks earlier, it felt unreal. ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Next, I built WillTheyConvert.com โ€” a tool to test startup ideas before wasting time and money. Fake landing pages. Fake pricing pages. Real data on what people actually want. It was smart, simple, and useful. And in just 3 days after launch, I had 70 registered users and 20 active flows.

Finally, I returned to a project I started a long time ago but abandoned: DubaiDiscoverer. Itโ€™s a full travel guide for Dubai, built completely by myself. Recently, I gave it a full redesign, and now Iโ€™m focusing on SEO.

But hereโ€™s the thing: The point of this post isnโ€™t to show off. Itโ€™s to remind you of one simple fact:

If someone like me โ€” literally starting from ZERO โ€” can build and launch 3 real apps in just 2 months... You can too.

  • You just have to START. ๐Ÿ
  • Donโ€™t wait to be "ready."
  • Donโ€™t wait until you "know everything."
  • Start messy. Start clueless. Start afraid.

And hey โ€” did I waste some money along the way?

Absolutely.

I had to pay for tools like Cursor or Lovable.

Was it a "bad investment"? You could say that.

But it wasnโ€™t a waste โ€” because thanks to that, I gained practical skills, real knowledge, and even real connections.

Today, I chat daily with several awesome people on X โ€” exchanging ideas, helping each other grow. ๐Ÿš€

I donโ€™t regret a thing.

If I did it, you can do it too. โœจ

What is the problem that most irritates and consumes your time on a daily basis?

Curiosity for those who are building projects (or trying to build):

What is the most annoying or repetitive problem you face in your daily life as a builder?

(It may be something small, but it bothers you every day.)

Currently what gives me the most work is marketing.

I'm trying to better understand the behind-the-scenes of the builder's journey.

how you can scale saas support like me, on a tight budget:

1. build a killer knowledge base

- write 5-10 faqs covering common issues, like โ€œhow to reset your account.โ€ my faq page cuts most support emails.

- use a free tool like notion to host a public help center, simple and searchable.

- update it monthly based on new user questions you see in emails or x dms.

- link to it in every support reply to nudge users to self-serve.

2. use ai for assessment, not answers

- set up a basic ai chatbot to categorize tickets (e.g., โ€œbillingโ€ or โ€œbugโ€). i've used a free zapier flow for this.

- but always follow up with a human reply, users hate ai-only responses.

- train the ai on your faqs to suggest relevant help articles before escalating.

- keep tweaking the botโ€™s logic to avoid frustrating users with bad suggestions.

3. leverage your community

- start a discord or forum where users can help each other. my 50-user discord resolves 20% of questions.

- pin a โ€œsupportโ€ channel with links to your faq and email for quick access.

- thank active community members with free months or swag, it builds loyalty.

- monitor threads to jump in when needed, but let users shine.

4. prioritize high-impact replies

- focus on new users first, theyโ€™re most likely to churn. i reply to trial users in under 2 hours.

- use canned responses for common questions, but personalize the opener (like โ€œhey sarahโ€).

- track support trends with a free tool like google sheets to spot recurring issues.

- fix bugs fast and email affected users, theyโ€™ll stick around if youโ€™re doing good.

good luck with your efforts to scale.

-

i've been helping founders rank higher in ai search results over the past few weeks.

helping them create a free, organic, and consistent traffic channel that drives business growth.

couple months from now, nothing will drive more sales than having ai recommend your products and services.

analyze your site's ai seo score at https://lm-seo.com and get a step-by-step action plan tailored to your site.

Migrating my fully made project to Next.js to tackle SEO and indexing challenges

Iโ€™ve been facing some serious challenges with SEO and indexing on DubaiDiscoverer.com. Despite having a fully developed site with both frontend, backend, and a working database, Google crawlers couldnโ€™t read it properly. Itโ€™s been super frustrating, especially since Iโ€™ve tried several solutions.

I started by adding Helmet to handle SEO, but that didnโ€™t solve the problem. Then, I spent 4 hours trying to implement Server-Side Rendering (SSR), but it still didnโ€™t work. Honestly, itโ€™s pretty surprising that Replit, Lovable, and Bolt.new havenโ€™t provided a solid solution for this.

So, after a lot of back and forth, Iโ€™ve decided to fully migrate DubaiDiscoverer.com to Next.js. Iโ€™m hoping this will finally resolve the SEO issues and make Google indexing work properly. Iโ€™ll keep you posted in the coming days on how it goes and what results I get (fingers crossed that the transition to Next.js leads to better results!)

Anyone else dealt with similar challenges? Would love to hear your experiences and insights.

brutal truths for saas founders:

- nobody cares that your product uses ai.

everyone uses ai now. it's not a differentiator. it's table stakes.

- your biggest risk is building something nobody wants.

ai makes building easier, but customer validation is still hard. skipping it kills startups.

- most ai saas tools are features, not products.

you need a solution to a real problem, not just a cool demo.

- if you can't sell, you're screwed.

the best product almost never wins. the best distribution does.

- building is 20%. getting users is 80%.

coders love building. but saas success is in growth, marketing, and retention.

- churn will silently kill you.

you can get signups, even sales. but if users donโ€™t stick, youโ€™re toast.

- you probably overestimate how much people care about your product.

customers donโ€™t want to โ€œexploreโ€ tools. they want solutions that save time or make money now.

- no one wants another dashboard.

users are overwhelmed. if you're building a tool, embed it in their workflow or make it invisible.

- your first 10 customers matter more than your first 1,000 signups.

vanity metrics kill focus. chase feedback and dollars, not upvotes.

- vcs arenโ€™t stupid.

if youโ€™re pitching โ€œai for xโ€ without data, defensibility, or distribution, theyโ€™ve seen 10 of you this week.

- launching on product hunt doesnโ€™t mean shit.

itโ€™s a traffic spike, not traction. it wonโ€™t fix a weak product or zero pmf.

- there is no passive saas.

even with ai and automation, youโ€™ll be fighting fires, updating features, and supporting customers.

- your idea is not special.

execution, timing, positioning, and speed matter 100x more.

- your tech stack doesnโ€™t matter to customers.

they care if it works, solves their problem, and is easy to use. thatโ€™s it.

- you will underestimate how hard it is to grow.

especially past $10k mrr. every growth stage is a new slog.

- bootstrapping is slower than you think.

itโ€™s also more real. but expect years, not months, to see serious returns.

- copying other successful saas won't work.

what worked 2 years ago doesnโ€™t work now. context has changed.

- you must know your customer better than they know themselves.

if you canโ€™t articulate their pain better than they can, you wonโ€™t convert them.

- ai alone doesnโ€™t create lasting value. workflow integration does.

a gpt wrapper is easy. getting it to actually do something useful daily is hard.

- you will want to quit at least once. probably more.

especially when sales are slow, churn is high, or you hit a feature wall. thatโ€™s normal. doesnโ€™t mean stop. means fix something.

good luck.

Iโ€™ve fully migrated DubaiDiscoverer.com to Next.js โ€” hereโ€™s why I had to leave Lovable (Vite + React)

Just wrapped up a full migration of my site (DubaiDiscoverer.com) to Next.js โ€” after learning the hard way that my old setup was tanking my SEO.

Originally, I built the site using Lovable. It used Vite + React under the hood, and honestly, the development experience was fast and easy. Great if youโ€™re in MVP mode.

Butโ€ฆ over time I noticed something off: the site wasnโ€™t indexing well on Google. I had all the basics covered โ€” sitemap, robots.txt, meta tags via react-helmet (which I confirmed were implemented) โ€” but SEO tools were still showing blank pages. And more importantly, Googlebot wasnโ€™t reliably seeing the siteโ€™s actual content.

The problem? Lovable-generated projects donโ€™t render text into the final HTML. Without server-side rendering (SSR), the content isnโ€™t present in the initial page load โ€” so search engines canโ€™t see it. No SSR = no crawlable content = no search visibility.

While Google Search Console sometimes managed to pick up content after rendering, most SEO tools - and probably Googlebot most of the time - just saw empty pages.

This was a huge surprise. I assumed any tool building โ€œproduction-readyโ€ sites would at least account for basic SEO fundamentals. But clearly, SSR isn't built into Lovableโ€™s output, and itโ€™s not something they highlight as a limitation either.

If youโ€™re building anything that depends on organic traffic - a blog, content site, business site โ€” this is a dealbreaker. Itโ€™s honestly surprising more people arenโ€™t talking about it.

Switched to Next.js with SSR/static generation, and everything works as it should now โ€” content is properly rendered, indexed, and showing up in search.

Hope this helps someone avoid the same pitfall. AI tools like Lovable are impressive, but make sure you know whatโ€™s going on under the hood if SEO matters to you.
