We just hit 1,000 members 🎉
To celebrate, we’re opening a SaaS Showcase Thread where founders can share what they’re building.
👉 Drop your SaaS below:
⚡ Rules:
Let’s use this thread to discover new tools and support builders in the community 🚀
Not looking for “best tools” lists, just real examples.
What software did you start using for one thing, but it ended up improving your workflow way more than expected?
Drop the tool and what it changed.
If you're evaluating or struggling with a tool, drop:
I’ll suggest:
Also, if you’ve already solved a software problem, jump in and share what worked (and what didn’t).
Let’s build a thread that’s actually worth bookmarking.
Genuinely curious where people draw the line.
Because I’ve seen teams:
What’s your personal “okay, we should’ve just bought this” moment?
There are thousands of SaaS tools out there, but only a small fraction actually get consistent visibility.
From your experience, what’s the main reason a SaaS product stays “invisible”?
Curious to hear real experiences from founders, what actually held you back?
I'll visit and rate your SaaS home page with respect to conversions
I’ve been testing different ways to get users for a SaaS product. I noticed that people are slowly shifting from Google to ChatGPT and other AI tools when looking for software. Even on our platform Software Finder, users are clearly coming from AI-based recommendations, not search engines.
THE BIG QUESTION
If people are using ChatGPT to discover software now, how do you make sure your product is mentioned in those answers?
WHAT WE ARE RUNNING
I am running a Content Partnership Program where I help SaaS companies get listed and featured across LLMs and AI channels.
RESULTS WE ARE SEEING

Maybe I’m wrong, but it feels like buyers are doing way more homework before talking to sales now.
They’ve already checked Reddit and subs like r/SaaS, r/Software_Finder, looked through places like Software Finder, read reviews, maybe even asked AI what tools to consider.
By the time they take a demo, they often already have a shortlist.
Feels like the job is becoming less “convince them to buy” and more “help them make a decision.”
Honestly curious how other reps see it.
Are you feeling this too, or is this just enterprise deals?
With more buyers using OpenAI, Gemini, Claude, Anthropic, and other AI tools instead of traditional search, I’ve been wondering if SaaS companies are paying attention to whether they’re being referenced by LLMs.
We all track SEO rankings, paid search, and review sites, but are you tracking AI visibility?
Curious if others are thinking about this yet, or if it still feels too early.
I’ve seen some SaaS companies improve visibility in AI recommendations faster than traditional SEO, which is wild.

People spend more time organizing work than doing work.
Between dashboards, automations, and endless workflows, many teams are just juggling with the tasks.
A simpler setup often gets more done.
>Edit: To clarify, I’m mainly talking about situations where teams end up spending a lot of time setting up and maintaining tools like dashboards, automations, or workflow boards (Notion/Jira-style setups). For example, I’ve seen teams spend hours designing the perfect task board with custom statuses, rules, and automations, then still end up discussing tasks in Slack, Microsoft Teams or meetings instead of actually using it. Not saying these tools are useless, just that they can easily turn into a bottleneck when overused.
I’ve noticed that everyone chooses and buys software in a different way. Usually the process starts in one of three places:
Each seems useful for different stages.
How do you all approach it?
Do you start with peer opinions or with comparison platforms?
Everyone knows the big names, Notion, HubSpot, Slack, etc.
But I’m more interested in the lesser-known stuff that actually works well.
What’s one tool you found randomly that turned out to be insanely useful?
Bonus if:
Always looking to discover hidden gems.
I’ve been testing different SaaS directories lately, mainly Software Finder, G2, and Capterra to see which ones actually help with real software discovery, not just browsing.
Here’s what stood out:
Platforms like G2 and Capterra obviously have massive databases and reviews, but they often feel overloaded and biased toward popular tools. You end up seeing the same big names repeatedly, and it can take time to filter out what’s actually relevant.
Software Finder, on the other hand, feels more focused. Fewer listings, but easier to navigate. The comparisons are more straightforward, and it feels less like you’re drowning in options.
From what I’ve seen across discussions and use;
Not saying one is objectively better, it really depends on whether you want breadth or clarity.
Curious if others have had the same experience, or if you still rely mainly on G2 for decisions?
I spent a few months properly using Salesforce instead of just poking around it, and I get why it’s so dominant… but also why people complain about it.
First, the good stuff.
Once you get past the initial setup, it’s incredibly solid. Everything lives in one place, leads, deals, activities, reports. The visibility across the pipeline is genuinely useful, especially if you’re managing multiple reps or a longer sales cycle. Reporting is also a big win. You can slice data in ways that actually help decision-making, not just vanity dashboards.
Automation is where it really starts to shine. Things like lead assignment, follow-ups, status updates, you can set it up so a lot of the manual work just disappears. If your sales process is even slightly complex, this matters a lot.
Now the reality check.
It’s not plug-and-play. At all. Getting it to a point where it actually helps instead of slowing you down takes time. There’s a learning curve, and not a small one. I can see why companies hire dedicated admins just to manage it. Without that, you’ll either underuse it or break things trying to customize.
Also, it feels heavy sometimes. For quick tasks, it’s not always the fastest tool. There’s a bit of friction compared to lighter CRMs. And yeah, pricing adds up once you scale or need add-ons.
My takeaway
I wouldn’t call it overrated, but it’s definitely not for everyone.
Would love to hear from others who’ve actually used it long-term. Did it get better over time or just more complicated?
I’ve been using Airtable for different workflows (content tracking, lightweight CRM, and internal dashboards), and I wanted to share a realistic breakdown instead of the usual “it’s just a spreadsheet on steroids” talk.
What it does really well
Where it starts to break down
My Honest Take
Airtable is amazing as a fast start tool like building MVPs, internal trackers, or small team systems. But once you try to use it as a core back-end for serious scaling, you start feeling the limits pretty quickly. It feels less like a database platform and more like a very powerful spreadsheet with guardrails.
