Just added my first Saas to the IH product directory — would love your feedback
Hey IH 👋
Just listed TourKit on the product directory here: (https://www.indiehackers.com/product/tourkit]
Quick background:
I'm a solo indie dev from India building TourKit — a tool that adds guided onboarding tours to any website with one script tag.
The problem I kept hitting: products with zero onboarding. Users sign up, get confused, and leave. Existing tools like Intercom cost $300+/month — way out of reach when you're bootstrapping solo.
So I built the affordable alternative.
What it does:
→ One script tag installation
→ No-code dashboard to configure tour steps
→ Works on React, Next.js, Vue, WordPress, HTML
→ Context-aware tours — different steps per page
→ Mobile-optimized bottom sheet design
→ Analytics — completion rate, step dropoff
→ AI generates tour steps automatically
→ Free tier, paid plans from $9/month
This is my first real SaaS attempt. Building fully in public. Still working on getting the first paying customers — turns out that's harder than writing the code. 😄
Would genuinely love feedback from this community:
- Does the pricing make sense for indie hackers?
- What would make this a must-have for your product?
- Any features obviously missing?

Happy to answer any questions about the build, the tech stack, or the journey so far. 🙏
Pricing at $9 vs Intercom makes sense for bootstrapped — the real test is whether founders discover you when they're already complaining about onboarding tool cost. What's your plan for first 10 paying users — product hunt, Reddit, or something else?
I'll try on all three platforms
first 5 im planning to do direct outreach on Product Hunt, finding founders' "upcoming" on upcoming launches and Indie Hackers who are actively building SaaS products, and DMing them personally, offering free Pro access in exchange for
real feedback, no scale, just conversations
next 5 → planning to launch in the next few weeks once I have at least 2-3 people actively using it so the page doesn't look dead
Reddit has a good audience, but every time I post on it I get banned permanently.
biggest challenge right now is being present in those conversations at the right time
Quick follow-up on the timing thing — when you said "being present in those conversations at the right time," are those mostly async DMs or live calls (Zoom/discovery with founders)?
Different problems: finding the conversation vs knowing what to say once you're in it. Trying to figure out which one actually burns you more right now.
That's a sharp early playbook — conversations > scale is the right instinct at your stage.
On timing: the part that burned me wasn't the DM itself, it was finding the right people while the thread/post was still fresh. PH "upcoming" + IH newest is one lane; the other is pain-language search on 2 subs where founders actually complain (not showcase posts).
Re Reddit bans — separate problem from finding threads. New accounts + product mentions = filter city. IH/X first until you have karma, then Reddit as reply-only on aged threads.
What's the product and who are you trying to reach on those calls? If you're hunting founders in specific communities, I can hand-build a sample digest — threads where they're describing the pain + a draft reply for each. Free, ~24h.
