HelloPorch tries video first. If I don’t answer in the app, it automatically rings my regular phone and we talk by voice. She doesn’t have to try again, wonder whether it worked, or figure out another way to reach me. It’s the same single press on her end. It’s one of the less glamorous details I’ve been working through: the product only feels simple if the failure cases are simple too.

Knowledge Base: answer a support question once, not every…

This week's feature update is about the questions customers keep asking. Every EloSync workspace starts with Leads, Tasks and ToDos. Knowledge Base is a free module you can add from the Marketplace. You write a help article, publish it, and update it when something in your product changes. Customers read the published articles in the client Portal. It also connects to Help Desk: a ticket can link to the article that answers it, so whoever picks up the ticket next sees the answer that was sent. Why I built it this way: in a small team, the same "how do I..." question keeps coming back. Writing it down once means you stop retyping it. What's the question your customers ask you most often?

I can build a full-stack MVP in 14 days, but getting 100…

I realized my last projects died not because of bad code, but because I hate marketing and never knew exactly where or how to post. I needed a system that removed the guesswork. So, I built one. I just loaded a CSV of 300+ SaaS directories and developer communities into a Cloudflare D1 database and hooked it up to Groq. It now feeds me exactly one 15-minute distribution task every morning so I don't have to overthink it. I am testing the AI prompts this week and have 10 free beta spots for developers who also hate marketing but need to get their first 100 users. Drop a reply if you want in. 👇 #buildinpublic #indiehackers #saas #solodev #webdev #100DaysOfCode #startup @Buildside
