People: “This successful app is so basic. I could have built it in a weekend.” Translation: I didn’t. I will never build it. And I’ll stay bitter about it

Some days it’s exciting, clients are subscribing, it feels like super power. Some days it’s terrifying, clients unsubscribe, you feel it's the end of your SaaS. There's no neutral mood 😅

I use Feedbask to avoid that.

Just tried to open Feedbask website at Fnac (a tech store). Blocked. The reason? Taggued as “Pornographic content.” 😳😳😳 I challenge anyone to find even the slightest NSFW hint on my site 😅 So weird

What are good open source tool to create a beautiful documentation?

1 year ago, I had 11 followers, a full-time job, and a bunch of failed side projects. Today, I’m at $140k ARR with my SaaS. Here’s the story of how I did it (and how you can too) 🧵👇"

Updated user context in the bug report information. No need to ask the user his device, browser and version, the information is displayed when he reports a bug.

Updated feedbask documentation page. Installation for CMS is now simplified

Vibe navigating Like entrepreneurship: I don't know where I'm going, but I'm on my way.

Feedbask started to rank on interesting keywords 👀 The beginning of pSEO

I launched on both @UneedLists and @ProductHunt last week. My tomorrow's newsletter article will compare my results on both the launch platform ! Which one do you think I enjoyed the most? Discover the answer tomorrow 😊

Most sales DMs suck because they pitch too early. Instead of: “I can 10x your revenue 🚀” Try: “I tested your product, here’s what I loved + a few ideas to improve it” Help first. Pitch later.

Ok, that one was easy to fix 😁

Totally reviewed the bug reports filter to be way more user friendly !

Various bugs fixed like the modal size to display the screenshot sent by users. The screenshot and user context are my favorite sections of bug reports --> No need to asks the user his browser and the page where he found the bug. Debugging is much faster

My first SaaS attempt was a trading bot that generated 5x ROI for myself. I thought: "This is amazing! Everyone will want this!" Result? Zero customers. Lesson: Building something useful for yourself doesn't guarantee market success.

This tweet is scheduled in case I'm still sleeping. Feedbask launch on PH has started! 😄 All upvotes support are appreciated 🙏🏼

Results of my launch on Uneed this week: 🥇 We finished 1st, with 90+ upvotes! 🔗 29 clicks to our site from uneed link 🧩 5 website installed the widget Huge thanks to everyone who supported us 💜 Tomorrow we launch on Product Hunt. Can I count on your help there too? 👀✨

Love you all 35 websites ❤️ (Please, tell me I made design improvement 😂)

What is the best headline for feedbask? - "Transform feedback into growth" - "Small widget, better client satisfaction" - "Reach Product Market Fit with feedback" - "Stop guessing, listen to your users" Something else ?

You can either be SaaS #2749 in the English market… Or the #1 in your native language. Which sounds easier to grow?

We used Canva logo idea for the first Feedbask logo Then we noticed our same logo was used in other SaaS 🤦‍♀️ . --> we made a new version (right) for our launch on @UneedLists --> I won't use generic logo to create mine anymore --> you're invited to upvote for Feedbask on Uneed 😁

🎉 Feedbask is now live on @UneedLists ! If you like the project, an upvote would mean a lot 🙏 Demo of feature suggestion 👇

Entrepreneurship is a marathon, not a sprint. I spent years building side projects before finding success with IACrea. Stay consistent. Stay patient.

I just discoverd "GoFullPage" chrome extension to get a screenshot pdf of an entire webpage. I'm a big fan. Thank you @mq_p

With which arrow do you understand you can embed feedbask widget for free, left or right?

Is "hello world" still a thing?

Just came back from a real estate expo in Madrid. I speak a bit of Spanish, but luckily, my teammate is a native. Surprisingly, most business owners didn’t speak English 😮

Many of my friends ask if I want to raise funds. I used to think success meant fundraising. Now, I see things differently—there are many ways to build a business. Bootstrapping gives you freedom. Funding gives you speed. Choose what fits your vision

A partner told me he once offered a one-year licence to a company. That company used it for a year EVERYDAY. And when they needed to pay to continue: "No we don't need it". Free user is different from paying user.

Who is good at reddit? My posts are constantly removed. Should I create a brand new profile?

Are you: ✅ Making small steps every day? ✅ Learning from your mistakes? ✅ Building something that helps others? ✅ Still standing despite the obstacles? You are an entrepreneur on the good track

Feedbask original name was "PollaaS". For : “Poll as a Service” The problem? “Polla” = bad word in Spanish. Thankfully, @tarunyadav9761 (and Grok 😛) came up with FeedbAsk. A mix of “Feedback” and “Ask”. Simple, clear, fun. We loved it ☺️

Me: that's crazy how many people buy courses and never open them Also me: bought @nico_jeannen course a month ago to setup ads and still didn't take the time to watch it 😅

Bug report is now a modal, it's easier to read the comments that way. Will add more context info soon as well
