I wrote something like this back in 2023. Life was slower then. Fewer people knew me, fewer people used what I built. Now, more people are coming, using my work, trusting it. And sometimes I think should I clean things up, remove old things that don t move anymore? But I don t. I just let them stay.
When I started building saas, I didn t know what would happen. I was just one person, sitting with a laptop, trying to build something simple. I had a job before. Life was okay. But inside, I felt something was missing. So I left that path and started this, not knowing where it would go.
The early days were quiet. I built, I changed things, I made mistakes. Many things didn t work. Many nights felt very long. Sometimes I forgot why I even started. But still, I kept going, slowly.
Then I launched Slashit App. I didn t expect much. Maybe a few people would try it, maybe no one would care.
We launched Slashit App yesterday on appsumo and completed the first 24 hours since launch.
Here s what happened: -> $1,033.56 in sales -> 18 new customers -> Featured in Top 9 deals -> 2 reviews with 5
What we did mostly last 24 hours? If I will share this, you will not trust us, yes you will not trust us. We slept 2 hours each. That mean I slept 2 hours and my partner slept 2 hours in this last 24 hours. Still working hard for next 24 hours.
We replied all the questions, support message within minutes. Asked brutal feedback for improvements for our users. Shared possible solution to users that they are facing.
Most people talk about don't sell your app with lifetime deal. But let me talk about "Oskar Moen" today who raised $270,000 in just 23 days.
Honestly, no one talk about how to get investment to grow SaaS. Without investment or liquid money its really tough to build SaaS, market that and get users on that. So how you will build or improve your SaaS? So for this kind of situation Founder should sell product as a lifetime deal. Then they can get huge amount of money for their next step. They can invest that on team, marketing and planning.
Get back to Oskar Moen, I salute to this guy . He launched Sendpilot on appsumo recently. And noticed in just 23 days he raised $270,000 and thats insane . I checked his message on appsumo slack channel how he did this.
Here is that: 1. When a user bought deal from appsumo he asked for a review. 2. When a user asked questions or need support he answered that in just 2 mins avg. 3. After support he mentioned about reviews.
We mostly get this questions "What is Slashit App" Let me explain today, Slashit App is a typing assistant tool built for people who type all day same thing. That mean if you are typing similar thing daily then you should use "Slashit App", if you rewrite sentence using chatgpt or grammerly but not saving your time and not match with your tone then you should use "Slashit App Magical Feature", if you copy same thing again & again and switch window for that then you should use "Slashit App Clipboard History Manager Feature". What we have in Slashit App: we have total 4 features and 1 upcoming features.
1. Dynamic Template: users can create dynamic templates for sending the same message to multiple people. No need to copy paste from notepad. They can use a shortcut like /msg for the template. And after type the shortcut popup will open and user can place dynamic information there like name, designation etc. See here: https://www.slashit.app/feature/...
2. Dynamic Template with AI: user can use Dynamic Template with AI. Using this, you can set 1 place in dynamic template where you will input the information. And you can add your own prompt so that based on your own prompt it will act. See here: https://www.slashit.app/feature/...
3. Snippet/Text Expander: for longer sentences, user can use a shortcut like hlo to expand it to Hello, Hope you are doing well. See here: https://www.slashit.app/feature/...
Slashit is a simple tool that helps anyone reply faster using dynamic templates, text snippets, and AI powered commands. Save time, reduce repetitive typing, and boost productivity, whether you’re in support, sales, freelancer or just writing a lot.
We ve all been there digging through old emails or Slack messages just to reuse the same onboarding text, client update, or performance report. It wastes time and breaks focus.
That s why we built Slashit App Snippets.
Instead of typing the same replies again and again, you just create a shortcut once like /onboard or /vendor and Slashit App instantly expands it into your full email or message.
The marketing landscape feels completely different than it was even two years ago. Social media algorithms are harder to crack, paid ads are getting more expensive, and everyone's fighting for attention in the same spaces.
Some people swear by TikTok and short-form content. LinkedIn seems to work for B2B but feels oversaturated. Twitter is either dead or thriving depending on who you ask.
Not all of us begin from the same starting line. A lot of what we learn happens along the way, and often, it's the trivial thing that could have made a big difference earlier on.
Today, I want to ask a question that might help someone shift their perspective.
I'm planning my Product Hunt launch and getting conflicting advice. Some people say to do a soft launch first to test the waters, get initial feedback, and learn the platform. Others say you only get one shot at the spotlight, so you should wait until everything is perfect and go all-in.
The soft launch camp argues you can iterate based on feedback and launch again later with a better strategy. The all-in camp says featured products get 90% of the attention, and if you don't get featured on your main launch, you've basically wasted your shot.
In a time when everyone is sharing their 6-figure MRRs from their businesses, it s sometimes worth taking a look back at how we started (and maybe even finding joy in the little things). :-)
Do you still remember the moment you received your first online payment?
