Laid off. Broke. Depressed. & idk how to market my SaaS 7 by touseefbuilds | 13 comments on Hacker News. I live in a third-world country with a family who's dependent on me. I used to work as a Software Engineer specializing in MERN Stack. I was laid off a month ago, didn't have any saving cos I was already hand-to-mouth, supporting a family of 5 with funding my brother's University fee. I am really depressed and have done nearly everything I knew to market my SaaS products but nothing's working. Tried: 1. Submitting my product on SaaS directories + on LTD ones (got rejections & some didn't respond), 2. Built in Public (no response), 3. Got Permanently Banned from Reddit (cos I did self-promotion as I wasn't aware - my mistake, i accept), 4. Wrote Articles & submitted on GSC, almost a month has passed & still not indexed, 5. Cold outreach (0 response rate, did personalized outreach, researched about each person + their products & menti...

I hadn't coded in 30 years. Then I built a space game with Godot 2 by CosmicGoldRush | 0 comments on Hacker News. Two years ago, I accidentally discovered the Godot Engine for making games.

I followed the tutorial on the Godot website and I was hooked. I did not have a plan for the game. It grew organically. However I had a vision: with Earth's resources getting scarcer, Humanity will have to go beyond Earth and even beyond our own solar system in order to mine for resources. It will face celestial dangers, probably aliens, and also bad humans, ie, Pirates. It started with a single astronaut collecting gold ore. Then of course I added mining robots. For fun, I added meteor storms, and a laser gun to shatter the meteors. Then I designed villains as pirates, so it made sense to develop autono...
