LaunchChair’s Validation phase is now completely free. (No credit card needed) It helps you pressure-test an idea like a real product team before you waste weeks building around vibes. The data you get for FREE: 💎market research 💎competitor analysis 💎substitute behavior mapping 💎ICP pain signals 💎customer complaint and delight patterns 💎wedge opportunities 💎MVP direction 💎early positioning signals Why this matters: If you’re starting something new, you need to know if the pain is real before you build. If you already have a product, you need to know whether your current wedge, ICP, and positioning still match what the market is actually saying. Most people skip this, build too much, then blame distribution. Validation should happen before the MVP gets bloated, before the landing page gets vague, and before you spend months trying to sell something the market never asked for. @LaunchChair gives you the product-team research layer for free. Validate your idea now, no credit card needed! launchchair.io/

Did another with @LaunchChair The results, impressive.. I like the fact that it provided me with the ICP pain score (very important) and the market saturation.. And I did all this with the free version🫰 Should I still go ahead with the build with the market saturation rate?

Unfortunately, I realized that waaay too late

“Just get more distribution.” The most expensive lie in SaaS right now. A lot of builders are trying to market products that were never built around real user pain in the first place. The AI isn’t the problem. The order of operations is… launchchair.io/blog/vibe-cod…

8 UPVOTES FOR CHOREOGRAPHD ON buildhop.io RAHHH

Listened to the feedback of @Buildhop_io users and completely removed siderail ads, instead featured platforms will show at timely places in the user journey.

🚨 Next week @Buildhop_io is going to allow you to spend your BuildHop points on boosting your launches in the Hop discovery feed… You get points every time you vote and leave feedback on launches, post to the founders feed, and get a certain amount of views or likes on your launch (so share your launches Hop discovery link) buildhop.io

Used this weekend to reset a little and connect with nature after shipping some huge things last week. Next week is going to be 100% distribution!

For someone on the spectrum distribution is incredibly painful and draining, it’s not that I don’t like connecting with potential customers, but putting on my sales hat takes an immense amount of masking and disassociation which is exhausting. Doing this manually and authentically has had the best conversion so I can’t automate a lot of my cold outreach.

With the @LaunchChair Agent API loop, our free boilerplate, and our prompt engine you can create complex SaaS products for your ICP’s real pain with a market wedge designed around ICP substitute behaviors and delight and complaint themes. IN HOURS, without ever writing a prompt.

It’s honestly INSANE how many builders do zero market research, build an MVP, never iterate or pivot the MVP when they have no traction, THEN BLAME DISTRIBUTION. It’s like a bad golfer who never practices blaming the golf ball…

We have a user in Southeast Asia using LaunchChair to spin up tons of MVP’s for his clients then he’s just vibe coding his clients requested revisions… Dude is living in the future and probably raking in money. 😂

This boilerplate was also designed explicitly to make the LaunchChair prompt engine more powerful, so your auto-generated spec and build work better and your agent uses less tokens. You can build huge projects on a $20 plan…

LaunchChair V2 now starts every user project from a production-ready boilerplate worth $500 alone. Every project starts with a clean, secure, agent-focused architecture that helps Codex or Claude build faster, better, and with fewer tokens. What it comes with 👇 🪄Next.js App Router TypeScript 🪄Tailwind shadcn UI primitives 🪄Supabase Auth RLS 🪄Public blog with pretty URLs 🪄Admin panel with user metrics 🪄AGENTS md so Codex/Claude understand the project architecture and build with better standards 🪄design md so AI builds with stronger product taste and no slop 🪄Recipes for complex features and products (OCR, AI, NLP, etc) 🪄Stripe, PostHog, and Resend scaffolds and hooks 🪄Proper security and server/client env boundaries 🪄Recommended and required GitHub library constraints so agents build real features instead of thin hand-rolled placeholders 🪄Dynamic sitemaps, robots.txt, metadata, JSON-LD, and OG image setup 🪄Tons of goodies I can’t list. And this is just the beginning of the boilerplate, this will be refined and expanded on in the future.

hot take: work at a start up before founding one

A lot of people just want to yap about distribution, but they don’t want to do the work. Here’s a great example, only about 20 BuildHop users are using this feature that gives you 20 targeted / recent leads a day for free. The ones who have been using it have made sales… While you post slop on X they’re increasing MRR.

BuildHop check-in 🐇 We’re at: ✨ 193 products launched ✨ 9,793 hops and counting ✨ 33 launches this week Almost 10k hops. That’s nearly 10k times someone found a product they didn’t know existed. Not just on launch day. After. Keep hopping: buildhop.io/discover

In my full time roles over the last 10 years my work has driven tens of millions in ARR, all SV tech companies in fintech, automation, medtech, and B2C. My work, my strategy, and my product leadership have helped drive significant revenue growth and even contributed to two major acquisitions while working on small teams. Now that I’m again building my own products all I’m focused on is customer success and customer outcomes, I’m not doing this to brag about MRR on X. Using either @LaunchChair or @Buildhop_io essentially guarantees you have two people with actual tech backgrounds who are obsessed with your success, your outcome, and your product. Our products will never be stagnant and you’ll always see improvements and enhancements. We will always be invested in our customers success and be available to help in anyway we can, @LaunchChair has a live chat within the product that goes directly to @tinytechfox and I, never a bot. We add features and fix bugs on @Buildhop_io within the same day our users ask about them.

Paid for 𝕏 promotion just so you guys know how awful Boost is… For context this was on an account with 170 followers. I’d take organic and save the money 😂

Building in public is cool and all… But don’t view this as a viable distribution channel unless you have a micro SaaS. SV and NYC startups all do the same things for growth before funding 👇 📍 Direct message people. 👉 Connect, generic opener that doesn’t look like spam or AI, once they reply hit them with a direct value prop or feedback ask. 📍 SEO / AEO with ask focused content. 👉 This isn’t a black box, it’s just research and work. If you want a free guide / playbook ask in the replies here. 📍 Paid ads and UGC (unfortunately). 👉 If you do this wrong you’re just burning money and won’t see conversion. 80% of UGC creators are bullshit with fake or low quality followers. 📍 Guest blogs and partnerships. 👉 People sleep on this because it’s old hat. This goes back to SEO / AEO and also gives you a shareable artifact where you can contextually talk about your product and your expertise. None of this is as fun as sitting on X obviously, but as soon as you realize appeasing the algorithm with musings and platitudes isn’t converting to paid customers the quicker you’ll be able to brag on X about your MRR (don’t do this 😂)
