Yeah, "up to 3 projects" means you can have up to three $19 subscriptions on a single account. I spent quite a bit of time on figuring out the best wording for this, but looks like it's still not as clear as I hoped.
Also I appreciate your take on my messaging! It's something I'll keep in mind and experiment with.
Would really love to hear from you again once you get to try out the core value!
I’d love to hear what you think, and if you’re building something, drop by and post.
I want this to be a real community, not another “submit-and-forget” platform.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this detailed feedback! I actually agree with everything you've outlined here.
My longterm goal with SaaSCurate isn't to rely on the $9 featured slots as the main monetization or draw for users. Instead, I am working to build a community where founders actively support each other through their growth journey.
When someone publishes a product on the platform, other community members receive an email notification so that they can check out the product, leave endorsements and connect. I've also got a Discord server linked in the platform as a space for founders to engage directly.
The $9 featured slots are more of a stepping stone to help fund and shape the broader vision I have for SaaSCurate. I want to help founders grow their products not just by publishing, but with other features that go beyond just product visibility.
Thank you again for your detailed feedback, I truly appreciate it and I am glad to see that we're aligned in the thought process.
Seems like it! I've started building SaaSCurate since June 2024, but since then quite a few platforms like this have emerged. My vision for SaaSCurate is more than to just list a product – I want to build a strong community that helps founders acquire new customers through partnerships and earned media. SaaSCurate is still in MVP phase.
When you list a product, you can choose whether to feature it or list it for free.
Featuring it costs $9 or 500 karma points (which are earned by contributing). There are also other benefits to featuring:
- Get spotlighted in a newsletter sent to all community members
- Featured embeddable badge
- Dofollow backlink for SEO
Hi, I'm Filip. I've showed this app in HN two months ago and got some great feedback! I've decided to post one last time to show the improvements that I've done and also share with others that haven't seen this app last time. I am eager to get some feedback or answer any questions!
Seems that the target audience for this are non-technical people? Since I am a developer I am more interested in a CMS tool like https://decapcms.org/ that is open source and I can integrate within my app. Perhaps it'd be useful to you to check it out!
No worries, I actually appreciate that you've decided to let me know that $5.99 comes of as dishonest to you. I am actually thinking it might be better to instead just put $6 for the reasons you've mentioned. Thanks!
Hi, I'm Filip! Here's some context for building this app:
Two years ago, I started searching for an app where I can keep all my tasks and notes in one place while I work and learn new things. Notion felt complicated, slow and not suitable for storing secrets. Obsidian lacked task tracking. So I decided to build my own app.
2 years later, I've been using my app daily and love the benefits it provides over the other note-taking apps.
I wonder what others think. Is it good enough to be able to successfully compete with Notion and Obsidian? I started marketing it a few days ago, so still collecting feedback.
Let me know what you think! Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
