I’ve been in SaaS for 8 years now. What we started with a few passionate developers is now a 30+ product team. 

Today, JoulesLabs is the dev team I wish I had in my early days. Lean, smart, and obsessed with production grade builds. A team that builds SaaS like it’s their own product.

• eSignature SaaS — a lean, fast DocuSign alternative with secure flows and enterprise-grade UX
• Global Trading Platform — built end-to-end for 110,000+ funded traders
• Regional Payment Gateway — blockchain-enabled, SME-friendly payment infrastructure

• Creator Monetization Suite — fundraising + eCommerce in one dashboard for 500+ creators
• UGC platform— customizable automation tools used by 1,000+ eCommerce stores 
• Creator Commerce Profile — personal storefront with digital goods, donations, and perks

We’ve built everything from MVPs to full-scale enterprise grade SaaS, used by thousands around the world.

We are the team that you would want to build yourself. Feel free to dm/ reach out at naim@jouleslabs.com

Thanks.

Arifur Rahman Naim

We just signed a new agreement with Moar, the pioneer of co-working in Bangladesh, serving the community for more than a decade.

This partnership means a lot to us.
Moar has a bold vision for the future of shared workspaces, and we’re excited to support that vision and help digitize the co-working experience in Bangladesh.

A heartfelt thanks to Nabila Nowrin Apu for trusting us with this journey.

Looking forward to building something meaningful together, InShaAllah. 🤝

CEO @ JoulesLabs (SaaS/AI Dev Agency) | Helping founders & agencies ship faster, scale smarter

This week attended the Growth Summit 2025 by HubSpot & HubXpert - Accredited Hubspot Partner. Such a wonderful event.  Great job by Ratul Rahman bhai and the whole team for putting this together 👏.

Really enjoyed the networking, the knowledge sharing, and the knowing more about of HubSpot.

Always good to see the ecosystem growing and people trying to push things forward in Bangladesh. 🚀

We just closed our first web app deal through ChatGPT 🤝

The client is a Dubai-based doctor working on medical research, education, and related initiatives. We’re grateful for the opportunity to help digitize part of that journey.

Interestingly, we haven’t done any LLM optimization or SEO experiments yet. The client found us from a shortlist of companies, resonated with our work, and reached out.

Moments like this remind me that discovery, trust, and clarity matter just as much as tactics.

It’s also a good reminder that we should probably take content and LLM-facing writing more seriously.

Grateful for the journey so far. Onward.

SaaS pricing questions founders keep asking us 👇
LTD, MRR, ARR.
Discounts.
Country-wise pricing.

Pricing is where most early SaaS teams get stuck.
We’ve seen founders run LTD too early, then struggle with support and expectations.

We’ve also seen teams avoid LTD completely… and run out of cash before learning anything.

LTD can help early on, mostly for validation and feedback.
But only if you’re very clear about limits. Otherwise, it quietly becomes a long-term burden.

MRR is what teaches the business.
ARR is what looks good on slides.
Early on, I’d care more about one than the other.

Discounts are fine.
But if every sale needs a discount, something else is off, usually positioning, not pricing.

Country-wise pricing?
Not about being cheap. About being realistic.

Once real MRR starts coming in, LTD becomes much harder to justify, especially if infra or AI costs are involved.

Pricing isn’t math.
It’s a series of uncomfortable decisions.

Founder and CEO of Acquire.com. Acquire.com has helped 1000s of startups get acquired and facilitated $500m+ in closed deals.

The “get shit done” founder beats the “perfect plan” founder.

Every every single time.

Because startups reward speed and momentum.

Overthinking rarely helps in startups.

So if you're not sure, just ship it anyway and get feedback.

You got this. Keep going.

MVP asked.
Version 1 delivered (in requirements). 😄

Seen this one many times.

Vibe Code and Copilot each serve their own purpose. A good read with clear pros and cons.

Co-Founder & CTO - JoulesLabs, Open Source Enthusiast, Application Artisan, System Architect and Code Believer

People keep mixing up vibe-coding and Coding-assistant(Copilot, Tabnine).

They are not the same thing.
They solve very different problems.

Vibe-coding is great when the goal is speed, not depth.

I see it working well for:

🔸 Prototypes for investor or stakeholder demos
🔸 Project initial bootstrapping
🔸 Very early MVPs with minimal risk
🔸 Hobby or side projects
🔸 Frontend-heavy or static sites
🔸 Docs, user manuals, internal tools
🔸 Non-tech, marketing, or C-level audiences

It’s useful for bootstrapping an idea fast, even without technical knowledge.

But vibe-coding has real limits.

The moment the project grows:

🔸 Nobody truly knows how the app works
🔸 Refactoring becomes painful
🔸 Adding features breaks old ones
🔸 Debugging is hard
🔸 Context slowly gets lost by AI
🔸 The project becomes messy fast

Coding-assistant is a different story.

It’s not replacing developers.
It’s assisting them.

Coding-asistant helps with:

🔸 Code autocomplete & suggestion 
🔸 Understanding existing codebases
🔸 Partial feature development
🔸 Repetitive or boring tasks

The developer stays in control.

That’s why the upside is strong:

🔸 Faster delivery
🔸 Easier debugging
🔸 Cleaner refactoring
🔸 Better overall efficiency
🔸 No compromise on code quality
🔸 Lower development cost
🔸 Developers understand how code works

There are downsides, though.

If you’re not careful:

🔸 Devs think less
🔸 Dependency increases
🔸 Big-picture thinking slowly drops

So here’s my simple take.

Coding-assistant(Copilot, Tabnine) is best when you care about quality, scale, and cost control.

Vibe-coding is best for early validation, internal tools, and the right audience with the right scope.

Quick question for folks who’ve worked seriously on topic clustering & content strategy. 

We’re starting to invest more time into building proper topic clusters (not just random blog posts), especially around SaaS, AI, and developer-focused content.

I’m looking for good resources, blogs, frameworks, videos, tools, or even people to follow, that actually explain topic clustering practically, not just in theory.

If you’ve come across something that genuinely helped you, I’d really appreciate a recommendation.

Thanks in advance 🙏

We think the IT industry is everything.

But here is a hard reality check.

The IT industry is still less than 1% of our total economy.

We are still a very, very small part of the picture.

This is not a reason to be sad.

It's a reason to be hungry.

It shows us how much room we have to grow.

We have a massive opportunity.

Let's not be romantic about our 1%.

Let's be productive and go capture the other 99%.

Does this 1% number surprise us?

Repost this if you believe this is just the beginning.

Is it better to be a "Jack of all trades"?

We learn a little JavaScript.

A little Python.

A little PHP.

We become a "master of none."

The industry doesn't reward this.

A company needs a specialist to solve a specific, hard problem.

We must be a "master" of one thing.

Go deep in the MERN stack, or Java, or Data Science.

Being a generalist is a trap.

Being a specialist is a career.

What are we choosing to specialize in?

Repost this as a reminder to go deep.

Is GPA useless?

We hear this all the time.

"Skills matter, not GPA."

This is only half true.

No, a high GPA doesn't guarantee you are a great Java developer.

But it sends a signal.

It signals that you have the "ability to learn."

It shows you can stick with a hard problem.

We must be team players. We must have skills.

But we can't ignore the signals.

GPA is a reflection of our learning capability.

What do we think: Does GPA still matter?

Repost this if you agree it's a "signal."

Are we learning MERN stack just because everyone else is?

We jump into a technology because it's popular.

We don't stop to ask: "Am I interested in this?"

If we don't have a real interest...

We will never have the patience to become a master.

We will quit when it gets hard.

Find your interest first.

Whether it's JavaScript, Python, or Flutter.

The technology is just a tool.

Our interest is the fuel.

What is one tech field we are genuinely interested in?

Repost this for someone choosing their tech stack.

Will AI write all our code in the future?

Yes, probably.

But that's not the end of our job.

Our job is shifting.

AI will write the code.

Our new job is to verify it.

Is this JavaScript code secure?

Is this Python script efficient?

Is it correct?

The human is the final quality check.

Our value is in our judgment, not just our typing.

Are we ready to be "AI code verifiers"?

Share your thoughts.

Repost this if you see AI as a co-pilot.

Why do our big projects never seem to end?

We set a goal: "I will complete this presentation this month."

This goal is so big that our brain gets overwhelmed.

Instead, break the goal into small pieces.

"Today, I will only make the Intro and 2 slides."

This is called a "Mini Deadline."

When we achieve this small "win."

We see "visible progress."

This progress is what motivates us to do the next task.

Big goals paralyze us.

Small goals push us to action.

Do you break your big tasks into smaller pieces?

Repost this if you find this approach helpful.

We are obsessed with building the "perfect" product.

We spend months polishing every feature.

We debate the color of a button for weeks.

But we forget the other half of the equation.

Product is King, but Distribution is the Queen.

A "good" product that reaches 10,000 people will always beat a "perfect" product that reaches 10.

Our students know how to build.

But they don't know how to sell, market, or distribute.

We need to build both skills.

A great product. And a great plan to get it to the people.

Which one do we think is more important: Product or Distribution?

Share your view.

Repost this if you agree we need to teach distribution.
