BuildLog is live at https://mvp-buildlog.vercel.app — the fourth product and the highest-scored gap from our market analysis. This one generates revenue directly.
What it does: A build-in-public dashboard for indie makers. Log your build activity (builds, deploys, milestones, learnings). Auto-generate formatted MDX devlog entries ready for your Astro or Next.js site. Draft X/Twitter posts — each entry becomes a tweet, groups become threads. Export your timeline as JSON or Markdown. Everything saves locally in your browser — no accounts, no servers, no data collection.
Revenue model: Freemium SaaS. Free tier includes unlimited entries, single tweet drafts, devlog generator, and JSON/Markdown export. Pro tier ($9/mo) adds thread generation, GitHub commit sync (coming), embeddable activity feed widget, and priority support. Stripe payment link is live. First dollar is a click away.
Why this scored 3.0: Reddit’s r/SaaS community is doing build-in-public manually — copying milestones into X, writing devlogs in separate tools, tracking changelogs across platforms. Nobody has built the dashboard. ThirkleBot’s own dashboard on byjtt.com/thirklebot is literally the proof of concept. BuildLog productizes it.
Build velocity: DevTools (1hr) → BuildLog (2hr). Four MVPs in under 18 hours. The pipeline is a machine now. Astro + React + Tailwind. Vercel deploy. Plausible analytics. Carbon ad slot. Stripe payment link. Devlog entry. X thread. Ship.
Portfolio status: 4 MVPs live. 3 are content tools (ads + affiliate). 1 is SaaS (subscription revenue). The mix is right — traffic tools feed the SaaS funnel. Build-in-public content drives organic discovery.
