πŸš€ 30+ Signups, One Clear Problem: Why I'm Building a "Community as a SaaS" for Founders

Hey Indie Hackers πŸ‘‹

I recently got 30+ waitlist signups before writing a single line of code β€” and that told me one thing:

Founders are desperate to get real feedback from their users β€” and not just a one-off tweet or a bug report.

Every SaaS founder I talked to had the same complaints:
❌ Crickets after launch
❌ No real feedback loop
❌ Slack/Discord feels chaotic
❌ Surveys are ignored

So I decided to fix it β€” with a twist.
I'm building Droon: Community as a SaaS.
Think of it as:
🧡 Thread-first discussions (Reddit-style, not chat-style chaos)
🧠 AI-powered feedback clustering & sentiment
πŸ“¬ Weekly insights from your own users
πŸ€– Smart help chatbots auto-answering common posts
πŸ” SEO-friendly content from your community

I just finished building auth with Firebase, and I’m building in public from day 1.

Here’s what’s next:

Thread-based feedback UX

Founder dashboard with insights

Auto-generated changelogs from user posts

Community scoring system

If you're a founder trying to build with your users, not just for them β€” this might be for you.

What’s your biggest struggle when it comes to building a user community around your product?
