I created a post on here a few days ago about how I ship MVPs for my clients at lightspeed. I noticed many of you were interested in how to run an MVP agency, so I decided to go more in-depth. Here are my tips for running an MVP agency, leveraging AI to get fast results:

Build fast

• Use templates and boilerplates for common features (authentication, payments, etc.)
• Use Next.js + supabase
• Focus on critical features first. identify what truly validates the business concept
• Embrace "embarrassing MVP": ship something that's not perfect but functional that solves the core problem, your clients will like that

Leverage AI

• Use AI to code. I use Windsurf but I heard good things about Cursor and loveable as well
• Always ask AI to write clean, reusable code
• Browse the Windsurf rules directory to find applicable rules (https://windsurf.com/editor/directory)
• Very important: ask AI to write tests for you code and ask it to test. It will then iterate and fix bugs

Getting clients

• Start with your network. tell everyone what you're doing and ask for introductions
• Sponsor an entrepreneur newsletter, you need to convince them that you can build their dream product
• Create detailed case studies showcasing your fast delivery
• Offer a "concept to MVP in X weeks" guarantee with clear pricing
• Build authority through content marketing
• Show revenue on X: success attracts success, you need to build a following, a brand by building in public and sharing all progress

Provide top tier support

• Include a dedicated support period after launch (minimum 30 days)
• Create detailed documentation for clients to reference after delivery
• Schedule regular check-ins during the first month after delivery

Treat your clients well

• Position yourself as a partner, not just a service provider
• Involve clients in important decisions but do not overwhelm them with technical details!! (very important)
• Be transparent about limitations and tradeoffs in the MVP approach. People love honest people.
• Celebrate launches and milestones to build positive relationship momentum
• Provide honest advice about next steps after MVP, even if it means less revenue initially, be transparent!!

Define clear scope boundaries

• Use a simple one-page scope document that clients actually understand
• Identify "phase 2" features early and document them for future development

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!

I cleaned up 700,000+ leads and tested 50,000+ - hit 32% verified & DNC approved phone numbers + an astounding 67% verified email rate at the contractor level (U.S only).

Contractor goes beyond the word - it's really meant for most B2Cs you can think of (HVAC, Custom car mechanics, granite projects, real estate property managers...the list goes on).

Want to make a SaaS leveraging AI-assisted coding tools and only know of Cursor, Lovable, Bolt but, have only played around with Cursor.

Using OpenRefine & Python, I've cleaned up a lot of the data points, and with Azure credits from Founder's Hub, I've got some flexibility but, looking to gain an understanding from real builders what the strength(s) of these tools are for the project here?

Any insights would help - On the roadmap, I need to produce a front-end (likely Lovable would be good at this?) but, on the backend I'm thinking of storing the database in Supabase or NocoDB; likely Supabase because it connects natively w/ Lovable and through an API with Cursor?

Then gotta figure out API for setting parameters for the data extraction (Auth-based). Then looking at security before launch...I can set some at the user level through Make.com's advanced webhooks but, there's a lot I'm sure I'm missing.

Hey Huzzlers! 🚀

I am developing a SaaS. This SaaS will assist users in generating a comprehensive social media calendar and creating engaging hooks, both visual and textual. It will provide insights into current market trends and help users generate scripts of varying lengths—small, medium, and large—for their social media platforms.

Hook Script will cater to a wide range of social media channels, including Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), TikTok, and LinkedIn. The service will be offered through a subscription model, available in both monthly and yearly plans.

Key features will include guidance on how to present hooks effectively, including tips on facial expressions and techniques to boost confidence. Additionally, it will include trending viral video hooks currently popular among users.

For script generation, the tool will offer guidelines on what type of video content to include for each line. For example, if there is a resume-related line, users can add a video that corresponds to that theme. Moreover, Hook Script will assist in generating high-definition videos as part of the growth plan.

If you’re someone who creates content and this sounds useful — would you use it?

Curious to see what everyone is out sourcing currently;

how do you guys like the work?

We're looking into finding a marketing agency currently but are stuck on finding the right one

Hello everyone, this is my first post here!

I am a fullstack developer and after working or multiple projects on the backend primarily with nestjs and using type orm, I find my self re-writing entity files just to declare database columns and structures. So, I made a tool just for myself to generate ORM codes based on my ERD.

The wiring canvas and the code editor are both interactive. So, I thought this tool my be helpful for backend developers similar to me and would like some validations and feedback before committing time and resources into this!

The attached screenshot is just a sneak peak into my tool to give a general idea. All feedbacks are welcome and appreciated!

TLDR; made a tool to generate orm syntax based on ERD

Thanks for reading guys!

I'm currently building StartupIdeaLab, a tool that helps you generate data-driven SaaS ideas by analyzing actual user complaints and pain points. Building this with $0 budget using free tools, but wanted to get your thoughts before I finish the MVP.

Here's the problem: We all know how much time we waste scrolling through Reddit, X, review sites, etc. trying to find good SaaS ideas. It's time-consuming and often leads nowhere.

My solution: StartupIdeaLab scrapes platforms like Reddit, X, G2, Capterra, and Upwork to find real user complaints, then uses AI to turn those pain points into actionable SaaS ideas.

What I plan to include in the MVP:

• Pain point analysis from multiple sources
• AI-powered idea generation (20 queries/day)
• Search and filter pain points by keyword/source
• Notion integration for your ideas
• Weekly data updates
• Email support

Premium features planned for later:

• Unlimited queries
• Custom pain point pipelines
• AI idea success predictor
• Competitor benchmarking
• Market size data
• AI-generated pitch decks
• Founder community
• AI-powered 3 month roadmap

Would love your feedback:

• Would you actually use this? Why/why not?
• Is $29/month fair for what I'm offering or a one time fee would be better?
• Which feature sounds most valuable to you?
• How do you currently find SaaS ideas?

Any concerns about the concept?

If there's enough interest, I'll launch a beta in a few weeks with a discount for early users ($19/mo for 3 months).

Thanks for any thoughts - trying to build something genuinely useful here!

new to this community. not sure if this is okay to post here but I wanted to share how quickly developing MVPs for my clients using Windsurf.

I used to lose days setting up auth, DB, styling, API routes, now I make about $4K/month just shipping MVPs fast. The secret is that I use windsurf with next.js to create a fullstack app fast. next.js is the only stack that works really well with windsurf. it can create:

• Pre-configured auth (Clerk/Supabase)
• Prisma + full database setup
• API routes ready to go
• Tailwind + shadcn/ui components
• ESLint, Prettier, Husky, commit hooks out of the box

What else do you need? I haven't had a single thing a client asked that windsurf couldn't do. I tweak a few config files (windsurf.json, .env), generate the project, and start building real features Most MVPs are live in 5-7 days. Clients love the speed.

For me, AI is not bad, it's good. It's fast made dev fun (and profitable) again. Let me know if you have any questions technical or other and ill do my best to answer them.

Customer's Feedback:

"BoringLaunch is highly legit and the team is professional. You can trust them to improve your DR. It helped us improve the DR super fast and drove good traffic as well"

I just launched my first iOS app called PillMate - Medicine Tracker – it's a clean and simple medicine tracker designed to help people stay consistent with their meds.

I made it for anyone who wants a distraction-free, easy-to-use way to track doses, get reminders, and stay on top of their health.

Would love to get some feedback about UI and overall experience using it.

Greetings Fellows,

I hope you're all having a great day!

I'm in the process of launching a service-based agency with a primary focus on Shopify development, website creation, and financial modeling. I have a skilled team in place, and our website is set to go live in the next few days.

As someone just starting out, I’d genuinely appreciate your honest advice. What step-by-step approach would you recommend for getting our first few clients? Are there specific platforms, outreach strategies, or general best practices that have worked for you or someone you know?

Any insights or suggestions would mean a lot.

Thanks in advance!

trying to learn from others' mistakes ;)

also the min char thing is awfully here

This project aims to create a web-based platform and optional browser extension designed to help users improve their Operational Security (OPSEC) and reduce their digital footprint. The website will provide interactive tools such as a self-assessment quiz, step-by-step guides for better online practices, and a searchable database of companies with links or instructions on how to delete or request personal data removal.

To enhance real-time privacy protection, an optional browser extension will be developed. This extension will monitor user behavior in forms and websites, alerting them when they are about to overshare unnecessary personal information, and offering privacy-friendly alternatives like email aliases or fake data for non-essential fields. It will also highlight websites that track users or make account deletion difficult.

The project focuses on accessibility, simplicity, and empowering users to take control of their own privacy with minimal technical knowledge. It combines practical development with academic research on digital security, user behavior, and privacy laws such as GDPR and CCPA.

Hello everyone,

for context I’m from a third world country so this might be hard for some people to relate. In my country applying for graduate entry level roles can be very very hard, most especially getting materials to use. If you do have materials there are mostly paid and are pdf and you have no way of getting the exact feel of the exams before the exam date.

I have an idea to solve this, I want to curate all the past questions I can find for different companies, and then create a platform where users have access to all these exams in one place. I would also be using AI to train more questions based on available questions.

one feature I’m thinking of is to grade users based on current users to give a feel of how you’re performing in each categories of the question compared to others. The platform will also give a better feel of our candidates are to behave during exams in such platforms. For now I plan on making the platform entirely free.

need feedback from more experienced founders, thank you

What are the best tools to integrate pay walls for your Saas?

I founded/lead an SME neobank in SE Asia. This post is for high talent, high agency people who want the chance to build / scale a product likely as their learning curve to radically improve their chances for their own startup in future (as I did myself).

The company mission is to make money meritocratic, and money which works hard for customer. People should get what they deserve, not limited to those who already have.

We're profitable, growing 100% compounding, have 10x LTV:CAC, and really happy customers (NPS, online reviews). And we're barely scratching the surface.

Anyone who nows developing markets understands just how acutely underserved businesses and consumers are with financial services. Our market is very tough to break into, but now our opportunity is practically limitless -- in terms of scale and the breadth of products we can ship to our captive base (and radically expand TAM).

I've noticed this site has lots of builders at various stages of their journey, skewing toward those who are pre-launch or even pre-idea.

If you're an aspiring entrepreneur, PM, or engineer with high degree of agency who wants to road-test your skills by building real products for real people -- we're interested to speak with you. Mindset and intellectual horsepower is a must; no experience required (you'll learn very fast here).

Hey guys!

Just wanted to thank everyone who has been a part of this journey so far (we just getting started). We've only been around for a couple of weeks and are already ad 2.4K monthly active users, which is crazy if you think about it.

What I learned is that you have to solve a REAL problem. The real problem was that there was no good place for founders to hang out, get feedback or discover each others products so I created it.

I have a lot of cool things planned for Huzzler to make this platform even better, such as a real world problem/solution directory, "alternatives to x software" pages where I will list your products (mainly for SEO), a customer engine so you can get your first 100 customers and more.

All of your feedback is also added to the to-do list.

I'm working 24/7 on Huzzler to make this the best platform. Also increasing the price of huzzler black soon. For those interested, we now also have advertising options. Feel free to DM me on X for more info.

Thank you to everyone here! Couldn't do it without you.

Hey everyone! I'm new to the community and would love some feedback on a WordPress plugin I'm working on. It's a subscription tracker designed to help users manage and track both free trials and paid subscriptions for WordPress plugins, themes, and third-party services like domain, hosting, and other saas. Basically, it helps keep tabs on any recurring or even one-time expenses tied to your site.

Would love feedback on a new product I launched.

I'd like to improve it and so looking for genuine feedback here.

The platform is an ideation platform for single developers. It's currently in beta.

Every goes a long way

Every feedback is appreciated 👍🏾

Here's the link to the project: eazleAi.com

I'm working on a new SaaS idea and would love your feedback.

It’s an AI-powered itinerary builder that doesn’t just scrape top attractions — it actually reads through real human reviews from Reddit, blogs, Quora, and Google Maps to build realistic travel plans.

The goal is to create personalized itineraries based on actual traveler experiences — including where to stay (and for how long), how much to budget per day, hidden local spots, and even what street food to try. Each recommendation would be backed by real sources, not generic AI guesses.

Think of it like planning a trip with a well-traveled friend who already did all the digging.

Do you think something like this would be useful for your travels?

What features would make it a no-brainer to use before a trip?

Open to any feedback — still super early stage.

Hacky but useful — we just needed a UI for blog assets stored in Supabase (images, markdown, PDFs). Next.js + Tailwind. Auth, file upload, folder nav, publish button.

Nothing fancy. Just worked for us. Might work for you too.

Happy to announce that Virlo is over $2k MRR!

This milestone tells us that we should keep going! It’s not much, but it makes us happy that at least a few people out there are enjoying our product :)

Let's create a thread of comments with our best marketing strategies for anyone to steal. We'll start with our most converting strategy, which is Reddit posts about what we do and solve + revenue posts. Those got us record visitors and views there.

Hey Huzzlers....

I'm building an analytics SaaS and I'm currently stuck between two paths. I’ve already built a solid tracking system of my own — I can track pageviews, user behavior, sessions, etc.

But now I'm wondering if I should continue building everything from scratch (custom heatmaps, user journeys, screenshot-based session previews, real-time tracking), or instead just integrate with Google Analytics via their API.

The idea with GA is users would connect their account, and I’d display all their data in a cleaner, more focused UI with some extra insights layered in, like a 3d world globe with live users, a screenshot generator loaded with required features to Generate stats and share on your X profile and some more.

Easier for me, less infra to manage — but also feels less valuable since GA already gives that whole data.

So I’m torn: do you think indie founders would actually pay for some unique features I described, cleaner, easier-to-use UI on top of their GA data? 

Or is the real value in having a full custom tracking system where I own the data and the experience?

GA has trust and coverage, but it’s bloated and confusing. My tracker is lightweight, focused, and can be tailored to founders' real needs — but it’s more work and I’m unsure if people would make the switch.

Curious what you'd do or prefer.
