    https://lensant.com — It's important for you to know when your projects are mentioned online. (Every mention is an opportunity!) But right now, your choices are either Google Alerts (which only scans major news outlets, and is often just broken) or enterprise media monitoring tools (which cost $500+/mo). Lensant bridges the gap by providing high quality media monitoring at a more affordable price point.

      I like how clearly you communicate the value of your product on your landing page, I need to step up my game in that regard.

    4. 1

      Excellent landing page! I do a lot of work in the enterprise media monitoring space, and not much fills the niche you are going after. Best of luck!

      Awesome! Very helpful!

    https://stockalarm.io/ - Developed by traders for traders, we got sick of setting limit orders when going to bed and hoping for the best. Our service will call you when your alert goes off. You can set alerts on over 10K stock tickers & crypto and you can set customized alerts with trigger types like price limits, price changes, SMA, EMA, RSI, MACD, Gold & Death crosses, and way more!

    1. 3

      Is the idea that instead of setting a limit order, I set the alarm so that I will be called and then I can login and see if I still like the conditions for the trade? It seems like the only new feature this unlocks over a limit order is the chance to re-evaluate the trade in the moment. Is that a common thing? Asking sincerely. I am unfamiliar with overnight trading.

      1. 2

        Hey, no worries and great questions.

        Yes, the basic premise is to set up a condition that monitors a stock for you so you can decide when to enter/exit a position (as opposed to just setting a limit order). So why would you want to do this instead of just setting a limit order? Sometimes stocks rise with extreme momentum and they could blow through that limit you set, in that case, you've technically missed out on an opportunity to make even more money.

        Also, we offer more complex triggers such as gold & death crosses as well as RSI oversold & overbought alerts. These allow you to have a much better grasp of whats going on with the market.

        I hope this answered your questions!

        1. 1

          Makes sense. Thanks for the information. The momentum argument seems reasonable to me. Though, I must admit, I have been burned probably just as much thinking "I'll ride this momentum for a bit" and then it reverses, versus money left on the table :) Anyways, good stuff. Thanks.

    So much time is wasted when starting up a new SaaS business. It already takes a lot of time to do customer research and development, but then every new app has to figure out the basics - user creation and authentication, subscriptions, team management, analytics, etc.

    And I frequently hear founders on blogs and podcasts implementing the same basic features and calling them out as big wins for their customers. Password reset emails, the ability to retrieve a list of invoices, team management. But none of this is their core business!

    Nodewood is an attempt to scratch my own itch - I always need a foundation to build from for every new SaaS I work on - but also something I think other founders would find useful. I'm focusing on being easy to get started with, but also flexible and powerful enough to continue to work with it as your business grows.

    Plausible Analytics

    Google Analytics and similar web analytics are overkill for many:

    They're difficult to understand and find value in from all the metrics they present
    They use bloated scripts that may slow down the site
    They're collecting a lot of personal data which means you need consent for GDPR and other privacy regulations
    They use cookies so you need a cookie prompt too

    Plausible is open-source, has a modern dashboard, simple metrics to use/understand, lightweight script of 1.4 KB, doesn't use cookies and doesn't collect personal data so compliant with GDPR etc. See https://plausible.io

    https://changekeep.com/ - Developed as the result of scratching our my itch. I needed a solution that allowed me to present my customers with beautiful changelogs, the ability to quickly provide feedback and have some widgets to notify them about updates when they visit my site.

    There are a few existing solutions out there but they can get quite pricey because they lock the useful features behind "Enterprise" plans instead of everyone having access to them so I'm working on building a fair solution where every plan has access to all features and pricing is quantity/usage based.

    Teams face difficult risky decisions all the time: Should we launch Product A or Product B? Should we invest in more R&D or not? Should we pursue a risky project with big upside potential, or stick with a reliable low value one?

    In the face of seemingly incomprehensible decision problems, resorting to "gut instinct" approaches is all too common. Preaching rational decision making is easy, but practising it?

    The problem: making hard decisions is hard. Organizations can't expect their teams to make consistently high quality decisions if they don't have access to the right decision making tools.

    Enter Prenario: intuitive visual decision planning and insight tools that empower teams to uncover scientifically smart decisions in even the most complex and risky situations.

    https://www.patturn.io/

    30% of items that customers buy through an online/brick-and-mortar retailer back back as returns. This results in $100 billion dollars annually and this number is increasing as retailers are shifting towards making it easy to return an item. From these returns, the majority of them collect dust in warehouses and eventually end up in landfills.

    The software that we created (Patturn) tackles the complexities of returns by automating returns management and processing. It allows users to tackle of control of merchandise in any condition (new, used, refurb) and it routes them online market places that maximize revenue. Our goal is to find a new home for products and to advance retail sustainability.
