The Brutal (and Rewarding) Reality of Solo SaaS founder

I have built http://redesignr.ai/
A tool that automatically redesigns websites into modern Tailwind CSS versions. As a solo founder, I’ve learned that building a profitable SaaS is brutally hard. Coding is the easy part—distribution, pricing, and staying unique in a crowded AI market are the real battles. It’s also lonely when every decision falls on your shoulders.
But there’s a flip side: I don’t have to pay anyone, argue over direction, or wait for approval. Every dollar earned is mine, and I can move fast without bureaucracy. The challenge is balancing that freedom with the grind of slow growth.
For other solo founders out there—what’s been your biggest struggle or advantage?
