I’m building Kite Reader because RSS is still the best way to follow the web.
But the tools got weird:
Hosted readers became expensive.
Self-hosting became maintenance.
Social feeds became noise.
Local readers don’t always sync well.
Kite Reader sits in the middle:
- always-on RSS sync
- clean web reader
- OPML import/export
- third-party reader support
- no server to maintain
- built for people who still want control
The goal is simple:
Follow real sources.
Read without algorithms.
Keep your feeds portable.
First release is in progress.

something nobody tells you about leaving the 9-5 structure behind
your days become dangerously self-directed
no one setting the tone
no forced schedule
barely any meetings
just you deciding what matters every morning
curious how other founders structure around that mentally

seo analytics that he shared is totally new for me. its time to build
Apr 20
Almost 1M people have visited his website
$13,000 MRR SaaS
$0 marketing spend
50,000 clicks per month from Google
This seemed too good to be true
So I called up the founder we chatted
And he told me exactly how he did it (suggest you save this)
1/ Build a real product first
SiteGPT is a website chatbot that answers questions using your site content. He charges monthly based on the bot's content and messages
2/ Know your numbers
- 200 leads
- 60 trials
- 50,000 visitors per month
- 25% - 40% become customers
- About $100 average revenue per customer
- About 130 businesses are paying
- LTV around $1,700 to $1,800
3/ Pick one channel and commit
60% - 70% of his traffic is organic from Google
4/ Use engineering as marketing
He built almost 50 free tools. Each tool targets a keyword that his buyers already search for
5/ Make every free tool lead to the main product
Use the free tool, then CTA upgrade them into the full chatbot for all their content
6/ Find low difficulty, high volume keywords
He uses a simple filter stack:
- Low keyword difficulty
- At least 1,000 monthly search volume
- High relevance to the main product
7/ Ship fast and stack the compounding effect
New free tools can take under 5 minutes once the system exists. More tools equal more rankings. More rankings equal more clicks. More clicks equals more customers
And there is so much more I could get into
This strategy is a cheat code for builders who hate marketing

Bookmark this to 10X your workflow
DO's (What Actually Saves You Time)
> Use ready-made auth (Clerk / Supabase Auth)
> Use Tailwind shadcn/ui for UI
> Use Zustand / Server Components for state
> Use tRPC / Server Actions for APIs
> Deploy with Vercel one-click
> Use Prisma managed Postgres
> Validate with Zod React Hook Form
> Use Stripe for payments
> Add Sentry / error tracking early
> Set up analytics (PostHog / Plausible)
> Store secrets in env files
> Use UploadThing / Cloudinary for files
> Set up preview deployments
> Use component libraries (Radix / shadcn)
> Write a README from Day 1
> Keep folders clean and modular
> Add onboarding empty states
> Use Lighthouse / performance tools
> Use a monorepo or clear app structure from the start
> Document your env vars in .env.example
DON'Ts (What Burns Your Time & Energy)
> Don't build auth from scratch
> Don't write raw CSS for everything
> Don't over-engineer state management
> Don't build custom APIs too early
> Don't deploy manually
> Don't write raw SQL everywhere
> Don't build your own payment system
> Don't roll your own search engine
> Don't skip logging & monitoring
> Don't hardcode API keys
> Don't DIY file uploads
> Don't push straight to main
> Don't build realtime systems alone
> Don't ignore performance
> Don't assume users "will figure it out"
> Don't postpone refactoring forever
> Don't rely on memory for decisions
> Don't chase "perfect" before shipping
> Don't skip error boundaries and fallbacks
> Don't forget a health check endpoint
