From idea to 35 users: My SaaS journey and why I’m moving on

Hey developers 👋

I’m a student who recently built a SaaS product called HabitFlows, a web app designed to help people track habits and stay consistent.

🌐 Live: https://habitflows.in

💡 The Idea

I wanted to build something simple but useful. Habit tracking is something everyone struggles with, so I decided to create a clean and minimal web app.

⚙️ Tech Stack

Backend: Django
Frontend: HTML, CSS, JS
Database: SQLite / PostgreSQL
Deployment: Live on custom domain

🚀 What I Built

User authentication system
Habit tracking dashboard
Progress tracking UI
Fully deployed SaaS

📊 Traction

35+ registered users
Working product with real usage

😓 Challenges

Getting initial users was tough
Designing a clean UI took multiple iterations
Managing deployment & bugs as a student

💭 Why I’m Selling

I want to explore new ideas and projects, and I don’t have enough time to scale this properly.

Instead of letting it sit idle, I’d rather pass it to someone who can grow it further.

💰 Open for Sale

I’m open to selling the full project:

Domain
Source code
Deployment setup

🤝 Final Thoughts

Building this taught me a lot about SaaS, users, and consistency.

If you’re a beginner — just build something. You’ll learn more than any tutorial.

Thanks for reading 🙌
