      <title>A site that turns your ideas into tasks</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Hey all&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I created TalkNotes few weeks ago and it started getting traction in hours. It quickly went from 0 -&amp;gt; $700 revenue with One time payment and I decided to remove the one time payment, the line went straight down but since then it rising little by little and has now reached $150 MRR. I'm stoked since this is one of my best projects.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The idea is to speak freely into a microphone about anything on your mind—meetings, emails, tasks—and let AI help organize it all. It turns your thoughts into a structured to-do list, notes, flashcards, and more. I created it because spending 15 minutes every day setting up traditional productivity apps is a waste of time. I thought it might resonate with others looking for a similar solution.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There's a fair bit of churn since I think with something like this users either love it or never end up using it. I could probably add some more retention strategies like reminders and other productivity tools integration like Google Calendar, and more...&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If this sounds interesting, I’d love to hear your thoughts or suggestions. Feel free to share how you currently manage your daily tasks - always keen to learn from this community.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Trying to build a $1K MRR SaaS app, while being a full time student 😊</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fh8o435jwvy8ib8hl3x1e.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fh8o435jwvy8ib8hl3x1e.png" alt="Image description" width="800" height="191"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A few months ago, I started building full-stack apps for fun alongside my full-time CS university studies. My goal was to create quality projects I could showcase when applying for internships.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I ended up building around 10 apps, dedicating at least 3 hours daily to coding for almost 2 years, even with my university workload.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A YouTuber mentioned that having a working Stripe integration gives a better impression, so I added it to my apps, transforming them into SaaS models.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;However, I struggled to get any customers because I kept adding features without validating them with users.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To fix this, I built FeatureFlow for my own projects to gather instant and better feedback. Then i decided to launched it on Product Hunt and ended up getting "PRODUCT OF THE DAY 2nd PLACE", I was so happy, months and months of work finally paid off.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;After spending 4 months and countless hours working on it, it's finally gaining traction, and I'm close to reaching my 2024 goal of $1K in MRR with FeatureFlow.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://featureflow.tech/?ref=DEV" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;FeatureFlow&lt;/a&gt; : stop guessing ✋, and build features which user want.&lt;br&gt;
It helped me a lot as it saved my time by me building features I know users want and due to that, my sales also started increasing.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It might help you to, the starting price is only $3/month or $39 One Time Payment :)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;"Your mindset shapes your reality—stay persistent, embrace challenges, and growth will follow."&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thank you for taking your time and reading about my story and small wins :)&lt;/p&gt;
