The idea

“Hey everyone, I'm a frontend developer currently building a micro-SaaS aimed at simplifying short-form video distribution (YouTube Shorts, IG Reels, TikTok). The main reason I decided to build this is simple: the existing tools on the market are just way too expensive. Most of them are packed with bloated enterprise features and charge high monthly fees, which is a huge barrier for solo creators, indie hackers, or early-stage startups. My goal is to build a lightweight, affordable alternative with a super clean and minimalist UI that focuses entirely on getting the core job done—uploading once and distributing everywhere. Before I get too deep into development, I’d love to get some validation and feedback from this community: Market Demand: Do you also feel the pain of overpriced social media tools? Or do you just post manually to save money? Core Features: I recently got some great feedback about allowing custom captions/hashtags for each platform rather than just blindly copying and pasting the exact same text everywhere. Are there any other "must-have" features that would make this a no-brainer for you? Pricing: For a straightforward, no-fluff cross-posting tool, what pricing model or price point would you consider fair? Would love to hear your thoughts or any challenges you think I might face. Thanks!”
