Personally I think ‘SaaS’ is too broad a topic for a once a week newsletter and it doesn’t give me (or any potential subscriber) much context into what I should expect to see in my inbox each week.
I would suggest trying to get hyper-focused, so you reach a very specific and tight audience.
Off the top of my head here are some potential example topics - Weekly SaaS Case Studies, Weekly SaaS API News, Weekly SaaS Design Breakdown, Weekly SaaS Failutes/Shutdowns, Weekly MicroSaaS Spotlight, etc.
I agree, being able to articulate the value you and your skills will bring to a company in a fresh and succinct manner is a superpower for any job market.
I thought this same thing, tough sell but I suppose it’s a decent option for those starting up; zoom for phone, meetings, collaboration, and then I guess email fits in.
I really can’t imagine many established teams moving everything over but Zoom may as well shoot for the moon or die trying.
I think there is an opportunity for them to make a calendly competitor that handles self service zoom meeting scheduling.
Another spot I’m surprised they aren’t embracing more is becoming a training and learning management platform since a lot of zoom recordings are trainings and they could help facilitate this in the platform.
This might be a way to get a post-mvp idea that was built using No-Code/Low-Code to a code base but for a new unproven idea I would say buyer-beware, unlikely to get you what you want.
Productivity adjacent discussions and communities are great places to strike up a conversation and find like-minded people that could benefit from your tool.
Asking how others are currently solving the problem your tool does is a good entryway. You can follow their answer with a suggestion to try your product if it sounds like it could be useful.
For more of a shotgun approach you can post on betalist, reddit /startups Share Your Startup thread, ShowHN, etc.
I think this a really interesting take on social chat/collaboration!
The main reason I closed it was I felt disoriented when I opened the threads. Since it brought me to the end of the chat I had to scroll to the top to catch up (which has some loading lag) so it felt like I had to do too much work to get engaged. Perhaps the opening post could be pinned at least?
The other part I got kind of lost with was the lack of a back button to return to the topics. Using the browser isn’t an issue, but the way the UI is presented it seemed like it would be there but I didn’t see it.
Congrats on a cool project! It’s nice to see some fresh takes on social.
There may be some room for innovation in the way the results are handled, such as secondary searches and more powerful filters to make it easier to get where you wanted to without having to run a new opening search or using advanced search.
Honestly I’d be happy with a google that just let me quickly hide results from certain sites.
Unfortunately i don't think this removes all the friction of having to add your items, writing descriptions, photos, getting things picked up or shipped.
the author agrees there are inherent problems in this model like what happens when things break or come back damaged, how much wear is acceptable, etc. but the magic contract is the solution, and the nuke option seems like it would need to be used heavily to solve disputes.
a peer to peer rent-a-center sounds cool in theory but not sure how it holds up at scale.
I would suggest trying to get hyper-focused, so you reach a very specific and tight audience.

Just my two cents, good luck!
