I’ve always felt that real users expose things you just won’t see while building in isolation. You can have hundreds of people join a waitlist and still have no idea what they’ll actually do once they get access. I’d probably launch earlier, keep the first group small, and use their feedback to shape what comes next.

Yeah, I think that’s the real difference. A lot of these platforms look great when you’re just watching a demo, but production is a different story. For me, being able to actually take action, connect with the tools the business already uses, and hand things over to a human without losing the context is what really matters.

Yeah, I’ve noticed that too. Some of the smaller SaaS products I’ve randomly come across are actually really good, but hardly anyone talks about them. I’m always interested in finding those kinds of tools, so I’m curious to see what people recommend here.

Yeah, this is something I’ve been curious about too. PocketBase looks great for getting an idea off the ground quickly, but I always wonder what happens once real users start piling in. I’d love to hear from someone who’s actually been running a SaaS on it for months and what surprised them along the way.
