What a post that fits looks like
Illustrative example for a fictional product, shaped to r/microsaas’s rules.
Backstory, stack, and first-90-days numbers for my overdue-invoice tool
Backstory: I run a small agency and kept eating late payments because I hated sending second reminders, so I built a tool that tracks overdue invoices and drafts the follow-up. Stack: Next.js front end, a small Postgres database, and a scheduled job that queues the reminder drafts. Nothing fancy. Numbers so far: a handful of paying users in the first 90 days and one clear lesson, which is that people want the tool to draft the reminder but almost nobody wants it to send automatically without approval. Happy to go deeper on any of it.
Why it fits: Includes backstory, tech stack, and real numbers, shares a specific lesson, no naked link, no DM request.
