... clean chart before asking for anything. So instead of: sign up learn use We flipped it to: use see value then consider signing up Now we re trying to figure out the right balance between: Keeping it frictionless vs Introducing conversion points (save, embed, share, etc.) Curious how others here approached this Have you tried a separate free tool (not just a free tier)? Did it actually convert into users or customers? Where did you introduce signup without hurting ... ... Anything you d do differently? If you're curious, its at: https://embedful.io/chart-genera...

... dashboards, charts, tables, and counters without friction. At the same time, we want to be thoughtful about how this impacts the product long-term. Curious to hear from you: * If you ve built SaaS, how did you approach free vs paid? * Did freemium help growth, or create more noise? * As a user, what would you want from a free plan to make it worth using? Would love to hear your thoughts Comment from Paige Lauren(@paige_lauren1): @fernan

... everyone I m Fernando. I m the founder of Enosis Labs, and I ve been spending a lot of time building around local-first AI, autonomous systems, and developer tools. I recently stopped hiding one of my products in private and finally launched it publicly on Product Hunt: Rainy MaTE . That launch was a big step for me, because I ve definitely fallen into the trap of one more feature, one more improvement, one more week before putting things ... ... connect with other builders doing interesting work.

... everyone I'm Fernando, co-founder of Acaso. We're building a social app where friends share their closets and try on each other's style using AI-powered virtual try-on. The idea came from a simple observation: people have always wanted to try on their friend's closet. That's actually how most of us develop our own sense of style not from algorithms or influencers, but from the people closest to us. Before this ...

... Today we hit $2K MRR for our startup, Ferndesk It took 2 months to build it to the point were we were comfortable launching It took 3 months get to $1K MRR It took 2.5 months get to $2K MRR Lots of people genuinely think that all it takes to build and grow a SaaS is an audience, and a good product.

And we're still not fully profitable yet Building a SaaS means putting in the reps and showing up daily.

... Fernando Scharnick a builder and founder of Loopra. Right now, I m building Loopra a workspace that turns meetings, notes, and files into clear next steps automatically. The idea came from watching teams constantly lose context across tools like Slack and Notion. Everyone s productive individually, but collective memory gets lost. I m still in the early stages and not launching yet, just wanted to introduce myself and connect with other makers working in AI and productivity. What ...

... everyone, I m Marvin Fernandez. I am a solo builder from the Philippines and the maker of Latergram. I built Latergram because I was tired of how fast everything moves. We take a photo, post it, and then it s gone in the scroll. I wanted to create something slower. Something that lets us hold onto real moments and then feel them again when we re ready. That s where Latergram came from. I m not a big team ... ... nights, and the belief that not every memory needs to be shared instantly to matter. Would love your feedback, your support, or just to hear how you d use it. Thanks so much for being here. Comment from marv fernandez

... Product Hunt! I m Melissa Fernandes I'm a mechanical engineering student who unexpectedly fell in love with building tools for students in healthcare, especially the kind that make learning less overwhelming and more intentional. After watching friends and family in med school burn out under the pressure of disorganized notes, endless PDFs, and mental overload, I decided to do something about it. That s when I started building MapMed , an AI-powered learning assistant designed to bring clarity ...
