25. Solo dev. 0 followers. Starting from scratch.
Goal: €5-10k MRR in 12 months building micro-SaaS products with AI.
No team. No VC. Just shipping and seeing what sticks.
First product is live in 14 days or it's dead.
Posting everything, the wins, the flops, the numbers.

One thing that has leveled up my UI skills massively lately:
Using image generation as a design partner.
I’ll explore the screen visually first, find a direction I actually like, then hand that outcome to the coding agent.
Way better than prompting:
"Make the UI better."
I’m still not a designer.
But this workflow makes me feel 10x better at design.

Founders will spend 5 hours building something to avoid a $30/month subscription.
I get it. We like building things and being in full control.
But we count hosting, APIs, and subscriptions as costs, then somehow price our own time at $0.
Sometimes paying the $30 is what gives you time to build the thing that actually matters.

The "don't read the code" advice gets shaky when an agent edits a file you never asked it to touch.
I still check the diff before I trust the result.

A post gets 10,000 impressions but nobody follows.
What would you check first?
- The post attracted the wrong people
- Your profile doesn't give them a reason to follow
- The post gave them everything they needed

Your app goes down.
You haven't deployed anything in 3 days.
What's the most likely reason?

Founders should be their product's #1 power user in 2026.
That's why I build ClimbX: I use it to grow on X every day.
AND why I am now building NextUsers to help me find my next users.
Do you use your own product every day?

THANK YOU ❤️

Fascinating when the product itself creates the launch.
@Cuppa_ai helped make the video, shape the content, and coordinate the distribution.
AI marketing tools can basically prove they work by running a great launch themselves.
Amazing!

your marketing department now fits in one room
80+ tools on standby. You just talk.

p.s. this entire video, the storyboard, and this tweet were built with Cuppa's MCP in Cursor

I tried 4 agencies/tools to grow on Reddit.
Most did nothing. A few helped with decent articles, but none brought in a paying customer.
Has anyone actually made Reddit work lately?
What tactic brought you paying users?
