I built a tool to help validate SaaS ideas. Would love your feedback

2 points by mailnike ↗ HN
Hey everyone,

For a long time, I've been interested in building micro-SaaS products. While researching, I came across numerous YouTube channels trying to sell expensive SaaS-building courses, which honestly felt a bit scammy to me. This got me thinking: how could I help beginners in the SaaS world without exploiting their aspirations?

That's when I had an idea for a tool that could help validate SaaS concepts. I've built an MVP, and I'd love to get your thoughts on it.

Here's what it does: - You input your SaaS idea - The tool analyzes it and provides detailed feedback - The report includes competition analysis, suggestions, and marketing/sales ideas

I'm aiming to keep most features free because I believe many people are trying to break into SaaS, and this could be genuinely helpful, especially for newcomers.

I haven't included any links to avoid coming across as spammy, but I'm really eager to hear your opinions. Do you think there's potential for a tool like this? Would you use it? What features would you want to see?

Also, if anyone's interested in trying out the MVP and providing feedback, just let me know in the comments or via DM.

Thanks in advance for your insights!

https://news.ycombinator.com/show is for people showing off their projects. Unless you submit the same every day it's likely not spammy.
