Re: My experience releasing failed SaaS products
#102I am just wondering how someone can build something that people actively hate? And then for people to create a thread where people are tearing the app and the person apart? This just gobsmacks me. Especially since, I'm building things and no one really seems to care enough to do anything. So they've obivously manage to stroke enough emotion that people care enough to write about him and his products.

Maybe you didn't get to the part where he said this: > at this time I would learn and do anything to get more users to my site, to the point where I was getting banned from multiple forums for posting after people told me to get lost for promoti…

#103Am I wrong to think that this post needs a couple of revisions? It feels like it is all over the place. I don't know if it's just me but the structure and organization feels so off...

#104I have been building and failing multiple websites/mobile apps since 2006. To this day, I don't think I could ever be in that situation of creating something that somehow takes off. Theres gotta be a place for failed web/mobile app developers to get together and figure out a way to make it, anyone know of such a place?
By the nature of it, only a few apps/products will ever be successful. The number of people/companies trying to create such apps/producs is very large today as software has the lowest possible initial investment of any kind of business (essentially zero if you have the skills already). But the number of people/companies willing to pay for some new product they don't already have is tiny. It is extremely difficult for…
Success is an elusive term. For some, a successful SaaS product is one that generates $3k MRR which is achievable in many niches. The problem is, not every programmer is savvy and empathetic enough to be able to step into the shoes of a prospective customer to discover their major pain points. Instead, they tailor apps to their misaligned understanding of a problem domain instead of incrementally arriving at it through 1:1 conversation with their target audience.
