Solo founder launches a LinkedIn carousel SaaS
A solo software engineer launched a SaaS for making LinkedIn carousels faster. The original problem was simple: writing the idea could take 5 minutes, but turning it into a designed carousel could take about an hour in a design tool. The product aims to turn one input into a finished PDF that is ready to share. The pricing model has a free tier with 3 carousels per month and a Pro plan for unlimited use with no watermark. The main open questions are whether the output is good enough to publish as-is, whether the pricing feels right, and what feature would make people use it every week.
