Hey everyone 👋
Today I’m launching OpenSty, a small SaaS I’ve been building for the past few months.
In Facebook groups for holiday rentals, I kept seeing property owners manually managing bookings in Messenger
“Is it available next week?”
“How much does it cost?”
“Can we bring a dog?”
Everything is handled through back-and-forth messages.
At the same time, many small hosts don’t want to rely fully on big marketplaces or pay commissions.
OpenSty lets property owners create a simple booking page with:
Photos
Description
Availability calendar
Prices
Booking request form
They can share one link (e.g. : https://villa-olive-breeze.opensty.com) instead of answering the same questions repeatedly.
No marketplace.
No commissions.
Just a clean page they control.
Next.js
Supabase (auth + DB)
Stripe (subscriptions)
Wildcard subdomains
The product is fully working.
I’m currently:
Onboarding early users manually
Offering free access during testing
Collecting feedback to refine UX
This is a side project. My goal isn’t hypergrowth — if I can turn it into a steady micro-SaaS, I’ll be happy.
Messaging & positioning
Pricing (subscription-only vs free plan)
Distribution strategy (Facebook groups vs broader market)
Here’s the link:
Appreciate any thoughts from fellow indie builders 🙌
Congrats on the launch — this solves a very real pain I’ve seen in rental groups 👏
Curious: with early users coming in, how are you deciding what to focus on next — pricing, distribution, or product features?
Thanks! 🙌
Distribution first. I want real users testing it, then I’ll iterate based on feedback and actual usage patterns.
