From a personal problem to a $1K MRR SaaS tool

We didn’t plan to build a SaaS.
It started with a basic problem inside Panze – UX Design Studio.

We had to write the same message again and again.
Copy from a notepad.
Change the client name.
Fix the small details every single time.
Slow. Boring. Repetitive.

So we built a small tool for ourselves.
A simple system that stores our common messages, lets us edit fast, and reply without wasting time.

And the surprise?
People started paying for it.
Today it brings in $1K MRR — all from solving a problem we faced every day.

We didn’t chase ideas.
We fixed our own pain first.
Others felt the same.

    Loved this. Scratch-your-own-itch stories are the best validation. As a designer, I know the pain of retyping the same messages every day.

    Congrats on $1K MRR from a real workflow problem.
