Content Summary
Founder of SEO2LLM opened a feedback thread asking r/SaaS members to share what they are building. Over 40 founders posted their SaaS products, ranging from AI travel planners and music mastering to lightweight CRMs and browser extensions. The community engaged with quick, candid feedback—praising simplicity, warning against feature bloat, and suggesting niches or integrations. Recurring themes: solve a personal pain, keep onboarding dead-simple, leverage AI as a smart layer, and build in public to attract early evangelists.
Opinion Analysis
Mainstream opinion: founders value brutally honest, concise feedback more than polite agreement. There is consensus that onboarding must be so simple a 12-year-old can succeed, and that bloated feature sets scare small teams. A clear divide exists between “AI-first” products (seen as risky if OpenAI launches the same feature next week) and “workflow-first” products that embed AI as a utility. Some debate on pricing: flat-rate vs usage-based, unlimited credits vs capped tiers. A minority voice argues that even red-ocean markets (support chatbots, website builders) are winnable with superior execution and niche focus.
