Posting your startup in r/SaaS
Yes. r/SaaS is one of the subreddits that lets founders share their own product, as long as you follow its self-promotion rules and give the community more than you take. The rules and the post formats that get approved are below.
Posts that tell relatable stories or observations about the SaaS experience (struggles with marketing, revenue milestones, developer frustrations, AI tools) resonate best. Humor, honesty about challenges, and community-focused takes get upvoted over polished product announcements.
Self-promotion rules
Self-promotion is allowed but heavily restricted: max 1 mention or 3 links per 60 days, must disclose affiliation clearly, and content must provide genuine value—not just product links. Accounts focused solely on promotion will be removed and banned. All posts must be SaaS-specific with original human thought and meaningful contribution.

i spent 3 months building features nobody asked for
Just realized I've been shipping things based on my gut instead of talking to actual users. Spent weeks on an analytics dashboard that turned out nobody wanted.
