I have an idea for an app that would help businesses who struggle with converting and transforming files.

An example would be: "I need to convert this excel sheet of leads into this specific XML format so I can import these leads into my CRM"

I know you can do this using chatGPT / Loveable / n8n,... but I'm looking towards building a solution for people who are less technical.

Now my question is, has anyone on here tried validating such a specific idea / problem by sending cold emails to businesses? If so, what was your experience and reply rate? Any tips are welcome

Guys… I just made my first $199 sale on http://launchdirectories.com! 😭💥 Built it in about 8 hours and launched just 8 days ago. (Everything’s transparent on my X.)

Someone saw value in what I created and decided to support me. That’s the real win. Feeling grateful, motivated, and ready for what’s next!

June: $240

May: $20

April: $0

March: $0

February: $0 — I just started coding.

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.

TL;DR: Built a marketing automation system using ClaudeAI + Google Sheets + Zapier + Buffer that costs $0.15 per week and generates personalized social media content in my writing style.

Hey Huzzler Fam,

Background: I'm a CTO who recently went solo founder, and marketing has been my biggest nightmare. I kept seeing posts about "vibe marketing" success stories but nobody ever shows the actual implementation. Guys like Greg Isenberg show just the outcomes of how the results look.

So I got frustrated and decided to build my own solution for my project.

What I built:

• Claude AI analyzes my writing style and generates content targeting my specific audience
• I then take this through a keyword algo and
• through a humanizer algo which makes it sound like me
• next, my node project pushes this to google sheets
• in Google sheets I switch the status to → confirmed if I like the content
• Zapier picks it up
• Buffer schedules everything for optimal posting times
• Total cost: $0.15 per week (just the AI API calls)

**The process:**

1. Feed Claude examples of my writing and audience data

2. AI generates 7 days worth of posts in my voice

3. Zapier automatically pushes to Buffer at scheduled times

4. Buffer schedules across all platforms

**Results so far:**

• Saves me 5+ hours per week
• Content quality is surprisingly good (matches my writing style)
• Engagement rates are similar to my manual posts
• Scales infinitely for the same cost

Pretty much all I do is `npm run generate:weekly` and I get 2x posts a day scheduled on X and 3x a week

For other founders struggling with marketing: The AI isn't magic - it still needs good prompts and your authentic voice as input. Pretty much the old rule applies - garbage in, garbage out. Gold in - gold out.

The real win is consistency. Most of us are terrible at posting regularly. This solves that problem for basically free.

I recorded the entire 3-hour build process in my X account, if anyone wants to see me doing it live here it is

it’s a simple wedding timeline – my client runs weddings and wanted to show the schedule on a tv so guests know what’s next

the app is in polish 🇵🇱 but i ran it through google translate so you can understand what it does 😅

not a huge deal, but 4 months ago i didn’t know how to code

- google oauth is a must, 90% of users prefer it.  

- skip free trials, charge from day one.  

- market shamelessly, talk about your product everywhere.  

- respect unsubscribers, their feedback is gold.  

- post-launch = 80% marketing, 20% tweaks.  

- use your own saas, spot and fix bugs firsthand.  

- engage users, email, text, and talk to them often.  

- consume quality content, read books, watch documentaries.  

- think bigger, don't settle for $10k/month when $100k is possible.  

- detach from ideas, if it doesn’t make money, move on.  

- landing page = apple quality, sleek, modern, and polished.  

- mvp = core features only, follow the moscow framework.  

- retention drives revenue, 70% comes from existing users. reduce churn.  

- price on value, not competition.  

- brand matters - logo, responsiveness, good language.

A little backstory about me I'm a full stack engineer, but I've always leaned more toward backend. During university, my thesis focused on Big Data exploring Hadoop, data lakes, and data meshes. That project sparked a lasting interest in data engineering, which I'm now seriously considering pursuing.

As we all know, building a personal brand is important for standing out and building credibility. I started doing that on X, originally for a different purpose. But after just 3 weeks, I began to see the power of building in public. (If you're on the fence about it, I highly recommend giving it a shot.)

Now I’m thinking of shifting the focus of my “brand” from promoting my tool (which may turn out to be a failed project) to documenting and sharing my data engineering journey instead.

What do you think about this pivot?

This flow was born out of the success of its predecessor -- a simple n8n automation that invoked the Fal AI API.

I wanted to go deeper in Veo3's capabilities.

I have to say it's great at generating ads.

Check this (Adidas) ad out !

In a nutshell the workflow is divided into three main phases: 

1. Create Veo3 Video 
2. Wait for Video Processing 
3. Post on YouTube 

Check out the full demo here.

Let me know if you build anything -- link it below !

I don't know if it's luck, but since last week. I've had way more motivation and money is actually starting to flow in! About 3-4 months ago I built dubaidiscoverer.com in Lovable - took me forever to figure out that Lovable doesn't have SSR and will never get indexed by Google properly. I wrote a Reddit post about it that blew up and even Lovable's CEO replied to it.

Spent several days migrating from Vite to Next.js to boost my Google rankings - but honestly, all that effort was for nothing. Google results are still dead, and I was basically ready to abandon the whole thing since I have other projects going on.

Then out of nowhere today I get a notification that someone bought Dubai attraction tickets through my affiliate link and I made $10.50. No clue how it happened but someone actually bought something even though I'd already written the project off as a loss.

It's still pennies and doesn't even cover the domain cost - but maybe it'll motivate some of you. Sometimes things work out even when you think they're completely dead.

Honestly, I'd probably sell this project for pocket change at this point because I have zero ideas left for it. It's just directories about Dubai and Abu Dhabi attractions - nothing fancy.

I know it would sound better if I said my dead project made $1000 passively, but I hope this was at least an interesting read for you guys.

Hey Huzzlers..

I created a directory that serves as an online side hustles index where you can browse 370+ side hustle ideas, work-from-home opportunities, and easy ways to make money fast.

This is a totally free directory, updated monthly - No sign-ups required, no strings attached. ✨

It won Product of the day on MicroLaunch the other day.

Now if you're feeling supportive, I’m asking you to check it out and share your "Roast" feedback on ML.

👉 https://microlaunch.net/p/esidehustles

Happy to support back with your future launches.

Hey Huzzlers..

I built an AI food detector that guesses what you're eating

It won Product of the day on MicroLaunch

Let me have it. Brutally. No mercy.

Happy to support back with your future launches.

What are the best tools to generate app keywords for Google Playstore?

Looking forward to your suggestions!!

I have been really active on YouTube in the last 2 months.

My niche is mostly automations using nocode tools, specifically n8n.

Yesterday, I got notice that Veo3 is accessible by API.

So I decided to make a video about : Veo3 Video creation using n8n

I posted on YouTube and Medium.

The result ?

Top of the ranks on Google Search for 'n8n veo3 tutorial'

This wouldn't have happened, if I didn't hustle for it.

Keep making.

Today I got notice that the Veo3 API is publicly available through fal ai.

So I made a video that walks you through.

It's an impressive model BUT quite expensive. It's ~1$ per video second.

Here's the demo!

A bit about the flow.

How It Works

1. A user submits a video prompt through a form.

2. An AI agent (using OpenRouter's Google Gemini 2.5 Flash model) refines the user's prompt into a detailed "script-to-screen" format suitable for video generation.

3. The refined prompt is sent to the FalAI Veo 3 model via an HTTP request to generate the video.

4. Details of the video request, including the date, the refined prompt, and the request URL, are stored in a Google Sheet.

Setup

To run this workflow, you need to set up credentials in n8n for:

* OpenRouter: Generate API key from your OpenRouter account.

* Fal AI: Generate API key from your FalAI account

* Google Sheets: Uses OAuth 2.0. Connect by authenticating your Google account.

Hey everyone, this is just a kindly reminder that you get $10 in advertising credits per friend you refer to Huzzler. At the time of writing, it costs $26 in credits to advertise your product on Huzzler and generate about ~2000 impressions.

Have an amazing day everyone!

1. micro-content on x and linkedin

- post 1-2 sentence tips daily about your niche.

- join trending threads on x with thoughtful replies to get eyes on your profile.

- pin a post linking to your landing page, but make it value-first (like a free guide).

- spend 20 minutes a day engaging, and you’ll build a following without ads.

2. collaborate with other founders

- dm 3 to 5 indie hackers in your space for a newsletter swap or blog guest post. i got 200 signups from one swap.

- offer to write a case study for a complementary tool’s blog - free exposure, high trust.

- join indie hacker meetups (virtual or local) to find collab partners.

- keep it low stakes, small partnerships often lead to bigger ones.

3. low-cost seo experiments

- target super-specific keywords with low competition, like “task manager for remote teams 2025.” i rank 3rd for one and get 10 signups a month.

- write one 1000-word blog post a month packed with practical tips, not fluff.

- use free tools like answer the public to find what your audience searches.

- link to your signup page subtly in every post to drive conversions.

4. leverage user feedback loops

- email every new user after 7 days to ask what they love or hate. i fixed a ui issue from one reply and cut churn by 5%.

- add a feedback form in your app with one question: “what’s one thing we could do better?”

- share quick wins (like new features) on x to show you listen.

- turn happy users into case studies for your site - real stories convert.

tiny bets let you test, learn, and grow without risking it all.

i would like to know what small experiments are you running for your saas..

PS. I give honest feedback so you don’t waste time, money, or effort. Get any kind of help you need at ZeroToCustomers .com

Day 5/180 of “Locked in till '25

Grind: 7/24 hrs 💪

Had some personal work today, couldn’t go all in

- Reached 200 followers 🤯

- Studied 2 hrs for upcoming exam

- Worked on launchmedaddy .com

- 1 hr workout (hit 80kg bench for the first time – 2 reps 💪)

Not my best day but even slow days count. Just don’t stop.

Hey guys,

This tutorial walks you through along every step of the way. It's a tedious process, but you can do it.

Reason I made this is because WhatsApp has 1+ Billion users. Lots of clients have asked me to help them with a WhatsApp chatbot.

In summary what I did was:

Sett up the WhatsApp Trigger in n8n

Configure the Facebook/Meta Side

Connect n8n and Setting up the AI

Configure the WhatsApp Send Message Node

Finalize and Test the n8n Workflow

Activate and Live Test the Full System

Here's a full length write up on Medium.

Here's the YT Tutorial.

How do we know what business it relates to of the user?

Only 6 months left in 2025.

I don’t want to let them slip by.

Going all in till Dec 25.

Goal: Hit $10K MRR.

There’ll be grind. There’ll be fun.

I’ll share everything here and on X/Twitter

wins, fails, all of it.

A dating site that matches people based on their browser history.

No bios. No selfies.

Just pure browser history matching

Most learning happens in Silos and is often limited. It’s limited to the institution you are at. it’s often limited to yourself, It’s limited to a textbook.

But what if there was a social learning platform that was free from boundaries or borders enabling students to create content for subjects and interests, collaborate with others and discover something new.

I am looking for a developer who would be interested in partnering with me to build out an MVP for an equity stake.

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!

Given that we use LLM virtually daily, and some of us, have to relay those costs to clients/colleagues, I figured I create a tool for the purpose.

How I made it

1. Crafted a prompt and fed it into Google Gemini 2.5 Pro Research.
2. Created a mockup on Gemini.
3. Revised it using Lovable.
4. Ported the code into VS Code and integrated it into my project.
5. Deploy!

Check it out here.

Also, a small YT demo.

Hoping this story resonates with beginners out there.

In the last 2+ years, I have been freelancing in full-stack design and development.

Having earned ~$8k in that time span, I’d be lying if I said “no money no problems”.

May of 2025 though brought a change in perspective.

I turned to automation out of necessity — working on an intelligent social media listening tool, which demanded a lot backend development.

So, I decided to learn n8n and create YouTube tutorials along the way.

Creating a brand is a marketing goal for 2025.

(Marketing is harder than coding, right?)

Results?

- $114 in Gumroad revenue with a 4.4% conversion in May

- YT Channel subs went from 42 -> 94

Market validation? Is this marketing channel sustainable ?

Absolutely and here’s why.

• I get market feedback on what people want.

Save time in lead generation. SEO — specifically Schema Markups (for rich snippets in Google or AI searches).

• Note that the cost of running an agent can be anywhere between $0.007 to $1.5 per run depending on the complexity.

Outreach is more expensive because of NLP tasks, whereas SEO tends to be cheaper.

• My network and credibility are growing.

As a thank-you to the community, I’m sharing a beginner oriented tutorial on YouTube channel SEO.

It updates the keywords and description to your YouTube channel — to help boost discoverability.

Here’s the flow for the visual folks.

YouTube Channel SEO Workflow

Hey, do you guys know any good AI tools for creating minimalist logos? I’ve been searching around but everything I found either looks cheesy or way too complicated. Would love some recommendations!

I had this random idea a few weeks ago: build a job site specifically for AI people. Thought it would be easy money, you know? AI is hot, everyone needs these skills, I will just sit in the middle and take a cut.

Started coding and telling people about my brilliant plan. Almost everyone was like "dude, don't do this" and "job boards are impossible" and "there's literally a million of them already." But I'm stubborn as hell and had already written half the code by then - login working, job posting system, search, the whole thing. Couldn't just throw it all away.

So I said screw it and kept building and then it really hit me about how insanely hard job boards actually are. You need massive traffic, endless fresh job postings, constant marketing. I have basically none of that.

Now I'm staring at all this code wondering what the hell to do with it.

The AI job space is absolutely packed - LinkedIn, Indeed, plus specialized boards I never even knew existed, all with way more resources than me sitting here refreshing Google Analytics hoping someone visited my site.

Maybe I should pivot this whole thing to a different industry? I've got the infrastructure already built - user accounts, posting system, search functionality. Could probably adapt it for senior care services, local handyman platforms, maybe something in healthcare? Industries where I'm not going head-to-head with tech giants who have millions of users and unlimited budgets.

What would you guys do? Keep pushing in AI jobs even though it seems impossible, or take all this code and try a completely different market? Anyone here made a successful pivot like this, or am I just delaying the inevitable failure?

I know I made the classic newbie mistake here, which sounds even funnier since I'm the creator of willtheyconvert.com - literally an app that tells you "validate first, build later." But my second goal was also learning. I started (vibe?) coding 4 months ago and every project like this pushes my skills forward

Hi everyone 👋 I'm soon starting the next development cycle for Huzzler and urgently need your opinions 😁

I'm a solo developer working on Huzzler, and I'm struggling to decide what to focus on. Your feedback would really help here.

Option 1: focus on the founder feed. Add daily interesting articles about tech, success stories, case studies. This will drastically reduce my time available to work on Huzzler and there are already some sites out there with daily news content (eg indie-hackers). However, these success stories could provide a lot of value.

Option 2: Focus on improving the community. Hide the founder feed from the homepage or add fewer articles and focus on making this community better. I'd like to add

• verifiable MRR with stripe (MRR badge on profile)
• KYC required + strict no AI policy. You'll have to verify with passport / drivers license using an external service. Everyday, people are getting more and more tired of the AI bots on platforms like X. On Huzzler anyone posting or commenting using an AI bot will be banned (3 warnings). It will be a very strict no-AI platform. It may seem overkill but will may sure you get to see real valuable posts instead of generic AI generated ones.
• MRR chart on profile + cooler profile pages 😎
• Project Milestones: new kind of structured post where post about the goal you achieved, how you did it and what you learned (this will be useful for learning from each other).
• Resource Hub: Hand picked resources and sites so you can use just one platform (Huzzler 😉) to find the best: launch platforms, indie hacker blogs, directories, marketplaces, newsletters, free coding courses.

What do you think would be best for Huzzler? I'm personally leaning towards option 2. Any other ideas are welcome (especially regarding the founder feed and placement, maybe we should show news articles the same way as posts? but with distinct styling?)

Thanks so much for everyone who is still a part of Huzzler. With your help, we'll make Huzzler great again 😁I really want to make this the best place to connect with other founders and learn from each other.

I'm exploring a concept for a week-long retreat where entrepreneurs can build an MVP using AI coding tools in just 7 days. Before investing more time, I'd love some honest feedback.

Here is the landing page I just created that explains the idea in more detail: http://launchedbyfriday.com/

You can find a quick google form to give feedback in there! (or right here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdjTRA0W5iJtW_N07ZztMD0VL0tyTe8YXnjPAbGdnuax-v6-Q/viewform?usp=header)

I'm not selling anything - just trying to validate if this concept resonates before developing it further. All feedback welcome, especially critical perspectives.

Hello everyone,

I wanted to share how posting and interacting on Huzzler was so much more useful then other mediums.

I posted about my work and what I'm building - already got a lot more feedback and opinions then twitter. There it feels like I'm just posting into a void.

On top of that I got in touch with David (DG) Gordillo trough Huzzler. David was extremely helpful and even helped me get on a call with a Senior Sales Manager and she gave me so much insights on how can I shape the product I'm building. Now I get how people build great offers, I feel like I just got allowed to cheat in the product building game. But it's not cheating it's a fundamental part.

A platform like this really has potential and it can help people in their journey.

Hopefully this gives the Huzzler founders validation and motivation to continue working on this.

Have a great weekend guys.

Funny thing… the sale came 2 days after I posted “#5 on TinyStartups but 0 sales” 😅

What’s wild is that I started with zero programming knowledge about 3 months ago I didn’t even know how to use GitHub
