Just paid @ChartMogul $600/year and I didn’t think about it a split second 🤷🏽‍♂️ Happy to pay to get a good product and not lose focus from building mine
I just canceled a $600/year SaaS subscription for an Opus-coded, in-house alternative. My external spend is now exclusively down to infrastructure: servers, email & payments. I think niche B2B SaaS is in real trouble.

Dude is selling a 99/month service 🤣🤡
Paying $99/month was getting a little too expensive... So I built my own open source alternative that now costs me LESS THAN $1/month to run. YES, 99x CHEAPER! 🤯 Introducing Open Post, an open source alternative to Post Bridge that lets you post to all your social media accounts from one dashboard. I'll be open sourcing it on GitHub this coming week once I finish testing each social media integration. And just to be clear... This isn't about taking business away from an existing SaaS. I simply wanted to build something cheaper for myself that does the exact same thing. If you want a ready-to-use solution and don't mind paying $40-$100/month, definitely check out the original SaaS! But if you prefer self-hosting and saving money, Open Post is coming soon for free. 🚀

tried to publish the first app of a new org on iOS Apple rejected it asking to reply to the review with some extra details - and so I did My understanding is I just wait for their response, no resubmission is needed, right?

met a guy who prefers to keep around a loss-making B2C/"B2B" SaaS product (with 2 customers) because they have a high floor asking price he doesn't work on the product at all, it's just there rotting, and he prefers to not exit at all with a reasonable amount 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

openstatus is amazing, but 30 EUR/month for having two monitors is a bit absurd. is there anything else out there more reasonably priced? No I won't vibe-code it or self-host it

micro-SaaS acquisitions have a huge problem at hand founders with numbers that don't make sense x100+ asking prices with revenue that's just not there and steeply declining PLG churn not being taken into account, LTV at all-time-low but asking prices anchoring too high acquirers making only low-ball offers because "they can replace that with AI in 2 days" both sides seem like they miss the big picture: experts think the economy might have a big shakedown fairly soon on whichever side you find yourself in, touch some grass

This is the direction I'm taking MailVakt.com analytics: from “complaints went up” to “these messages, from this send batch, received complaint reports.” Building per-message SES timelines and batch tracing using your existing batch/job tags.
Genuinely curious — what direction are you taking the analytics? Per-message tracing, anomaly detection on delivery rates, something else? One thing I'd pay for: tooling that traces a complaint spike back to the exact send batch. That's the SES fire drill nobody enjoys.

Very interesting feature by @stripe, vast majority of webhooks can be replaced with direct @PostgreSQL inserts

Outstand's MCP server hasn't changed — live since March. What's new: it's now in Claude's connector directory. No URL to paste, no key to manage — Claude gets a scoped, revocable OAuth token instead. outstand.so/blog/claude-conn…

Time is now 👇
Outstand is now live in Claude's connector directory. Connect it and Claude goes from drafting a post to actually sending it — X, LinkedIn, TikTok, Instagram and 8 more platforms, through one MCP server. claude.ai/directory/outstand

who's running campaigns or transactional email on SES or @resend? I'm doing a study for analyzing (and hopefully fixing) deliverability if this description sounds like something you'd be up for, LMK ps: I'm not selling anything - yet. This is just a PoC study.

Customer sends "URGENT" request they need a search bar under a specific section Their request is reasonable I fire up my claude, start thinking how this could be done then I'm like, wait a minute..... We do have a search bar there already! Both claude and the customer missed it "SWEs are dead" 🤡
