Every sale YOAO has made came from talking to companies directly.
I need an advice to fix this soon

If you want to sell B2B software in Latin America, Product Hunt isnโt the way
Latin American companies buy through local companies they trust (not necessarily local software)
Your buyer is probably a manager in Bogotรก who trusts the consultancy that's been fixing their systems for 10 years
Microsoft grew through partners.
Zoho grew through partners.
Rocketbot, a Chilean RPA company, grew through partners across Latin America and ended up in the global top 3
We did the same at Robotipy. We sell in 8 countries thanks to partners in Argentina, Uruguay, Colombia, and even Spain
Now we're doing it again with Melonhelp

IMO, software isn't dead. Indie software is.
AI is good enough that anyone can build their own tools now. Sure
but look at who's actually building with AI, developers building their own personal software
And that's who most indie hackers sell to
That's the market that's dying. Your customer can now build your product in a weekend. (Eg. @marclou )
Notion, Linear, Beehiiv, half of the tools we use were born as small niche apps that big players were too slow to build. This gap is closing fast.
Enterprise is a different story.
Companies still buy proven software, still need security reviews, still want blame someone when it breaks. They won't build their own ERP, help desk or email client. They may switch to a cheaper one, because AI made it cheaper to build.
And you can't reach them with a viral post.
B2B pays more, but to win one customer you have to sell to more people.
The manager, IT, and the team who has to use it every day.
Today one of our users wanted to reply to a customer. Instead of using our inbox (designed for them), they opened the chat link we send to their customers and wrote from there.
Obviously, MIA thought the customer was talking and answered.
The manager may be happy but the team resists, like it always does.
And for them, when something goes wrong, it's always the product's fault.
I'm thinking of adding a lifetime deal to all my products.
Has anyone tried it? Did people actually buy?
And how many years should I project so it doesn't hurt me later?

We're live on Product Hunt today ๐
Todo (.) is : write a to-do, and your AI agent gets it done.
"Convert this PDF to Excel"
"Find 3 cheap flights to Lisbon"
"Every morning at 8, send me the AI news on WhatsApp"
โฆdone. On web, Android, WhatsApp & Telegram.
Would love your feedback ๐

Where should I put the feedback button in my app?
A) floating button
B) side tab
C) header menu
I want users to find it without it getting in the way.

Per-seat pricing is a tax on growing teams.
10 people on Jira: $97/month.
50 people: $485/month.
So companies do the math and leave people out.
The designer "doesn't need a seat". Support "can ask in Slack".
Then everyone wonders why the board is out of date.
I decided the whole Melonhelp suite per team, not per user.
Melonhelp Task costs $15/month for 10 people. $79 for 50.
Am I wrong or I should charge per seat?

I built @melonhelpapp in 2023 and I got my first paid user in 2026.
For different reasons, for 3 years I repeated the same pattern:
In the demo they loved it. Then they asked for one feature I didn't have or found a bug
I had to tell them "we'll fix it". They didn't wait long enough.
Maybe I was slow coding or had too much work, or maybe both
Today, a lead asks for a feature on a Tuesday and sees it working on Thursday.
Sometimes the same day.
AI didn't just make us code faster. It made us code better, and it closed the gap between "I need this" and "here it is".
That gap was killing my sales.
I love AI ๐ซถ
If you're building software, this is the stack you should have connected from day one:
๐ณ Payments: @stripe , or a merchant of record like @tiun_io if you don't want to deal with taxes everywhere
๐ Analytics: GA4 or Plausible, tracking sign up, checkout and purchase
๐ฌ Feedback: a button in your app to report bugs and request features
๐ Error tracking: 90% of users don't report the error, they just leave
โ๏ธ Transactional email: Resend or Postmark (watch the daily limit the day you go viral)
๐ง Support: WhatsApp, email and chat in one inbox, with AI for the simple stuff
๐ก Monitoring and backups: know you're down before your users do
๐ค Your AI connected via MCP to your bugs and tasks, so it can fix them
Most of it starts free. What matters is connecting it before you need it.
What's missing from your stack? ๐

Why build mobile apps when we can build a PWA and save it as a bookmark on mobile?
With AI, it's really fast. My users asked me for a mobile version to get notifications and I built it in a day
