I found a direct competitor to my SaaS today. Recently launched but already serving some of the biggest companies in the world. They seemed so far ahead... At first I was excited. If they could grow so quickly with an offering that's almost 1:1 then that's instant validation. All I needed to do was reverse-engineer their growth by talking to their customers... So I googled the people who left them testimonials. None of them exist. And none of their company logos are using their product in the wild. Guess they're not as far ahead as I thought 😆

this small team of 12 invented the like button, had ex-Google engineers from Gmail & Maps built a much superior product, yet twitter killed it in just one summer. it was called friendfeed - and in 2008, tech insiders believed it would beat twitter real-time feeds, threaded comments, powerful search - everything twitter didn’t have 11 of their 12 employees were engineers, and they just kept building meanwhile, twitter spent $11k at SXSW putting live tweets on plasma screens they brought Oprah, Ashton Kutcher, Shaq, and many more celebs who brought millions with them and twitter went from just another startup to a global phenomenon friendfeed kept shipping features but twitter kept shipping distribution and won facebook later acquired friendfeed for $50M - mostly for the team. big lesson for founders who feel they’re stuck: you probably don’t have a product problem - you have a distribution problem. distribution is everything the best product doesn’t win, the one that reaches people first does you can invent the like button and still lose if nobody ever clicks it

In the latest stable version of Node 22, there's a bug that causes Vite to crash. To fix it, you need to roll back to Node 22.20. Because we use Docker from development to production, it's a simple commit to resolve it for everyone's machine 🚀

What’s one thing you’re building this week that scares you a little?

who else wants to join, hitting $5k/month by end of year on new app (or less than $5k app)

We bootstrapped @TallyForms to $4 million ARR with a tiny team and simplicity as our moat. Here's how we got here: 1️⃣ Pick a crowded, boring industry with low NPS 2️⃣ Target a specific audience (and ignore the rest) 3️⃣ Talk to users constantly 4️⃣ Build one thing extremely well 5️⃣ Keep. Things. Simple. Endlessly grateful to everyone who's helping us grow. On our terms, at our pace, with our values intact. As always, full story on the blog → blog.tally.so/how-we-grew-ta…
