I'm trying to learn cold-start distribution from people who've done it

Hacker News - Tue, 02/17/2026 - 8:16am

I built a niche analytics SaaS in a noisy market where: - users already have default tools, - switching costs are mostly habit/psychological, - and credibility/trust matters a lot.

What actually worked for you to get the first ~1,000 meaningful users? Looking for tactics that don’t feel spammy: partnerships, communities, outbound approaches, content formats, launch strategies, anything.

If you reply with what worked (and what didn’t), I’ll share back what I try + results.

Show HN: I built a SaaS analytics tool because I got tired of GA4

Hacker News - Tue, 02/17/2026 - 8:16am

Hey HN,

I’m a solo dev. Over the last few months I’ve been building Himetrica, an analytics tool focused specifically on SaaS products.

The reason I started: I run another SaaS, and answering simple questions was surprisingly painful: How many trials converted to paid this month? Which pages actually drive paid conversions? Where do high-churn users come from? What features do paying users actually use?

To answer that, I had to stitch together: - GA4 for traffic - Stripe for revenue - Spreadsheets to connect everything

It felt wrong. So I decided to build something that connects product analytics and revenue in one place.

What Himetrica does

Product analytics (pageviews, visitors, events)

Stripe integration out of the box (MRR, churn, revenue per user)

Shows product events and revenue side by side

Lightweight and easy, not a 200 feature analytics suite

The goal isn’t to compete with PostHog on feature count. It’s to build something a solo founder or small team actually needs to understand growth without drowning in complexity.

Current state: Live and in beta Tracking works Stripe sync works A few small SaaS companies using it, plus one larger customer

I’m looking for honest feedback, especially from people actually running SaaS products.

Does this make sense as a focused product? Is “analytics built around Stripe” compelling? Or is this just overengineering something that founders are fine solving with existing tools?

If you’re running a SaaS and want to try it, I’m happy to give access and get feedback.

Show HN: I made a PWA that serves as a throwaway push notification inbox

Hacker News - Tue, 02/17/2026 - 8:15am

This tool began as an experiment to try and understand the capabilities of Progressive Web Apps (PWAs).

Visiting the link below generates and takes you to a personalized inbox to which you can POST content from any source. It includes instructions for “installation” on mobile devices so as to benefit from push notifications (which, from a web app, will be a novelty for some, particularly those on iOS).

Building this out, I was pretty impressed at how close one can get to native app capabilities, even to the point of displaying an “unread notification count” on the app icon.

The app is similar to “throwaway” email services except that you can land items in your inbox using a simple http request. This versatility means that you can plug it into a variety of information sources to serve as a dedicated feed. Create and install as many such “feeds” as you like.
