RynlGames · reddit · 2026-08-02
An analytics manager turned indie developer highlights a common pain point: building AI tools is fun, but marketing them and finding clients is the real challenge.
To solve this, they launched built-by, a discovery platform where creators can showcase their AI apps and micro-SaaS products to potential buyers actively seeking solutions. The project is in early stages, offering the first wave of builders a lifetime waiver on platform transaction fees, alongside support for those running low on AI API credits.
