Every single day of the past three years, I spent building and trying to grow a SaaS, but about ~40 days ago, I shut down all my projects and my company.
I think it was the most severe burnout I’ve ever experienced in my life, and its effects still haven’t entirely faded.

I just made SDK integration ridiculously simple. It used to require adding a target element, including a script, and an extra block to trigger the mount process.
Now it only takes 1 line of code to add the Stories Widget to your website.
Just copy → paste → done.

I believe I’ll complete the user guides for popular no-code platforms and frameworks tonight, and then it’ll be ready.
Price will be $1 for the first month, then $4.99. For the yearly plan, the cost is $60, but with a special launch offer, it’s $30 (50% off).
We’ll see.

I just tested the final state of the stories widget live on a website. I like the overall feel, but I need to load the next story earlier to prevent blink.
I believe it’ll be quick, engaging, and built to boost conversions.

I’ll make the initial version mobile-only, and the stories widget at the top will only be visible for mobile browsers.

I won't add one more feature before launch. Time to tidy up things.

when I tried gpt-5 for the first time, it felt a bit meh. then my free cursor gpt-5 credits expired and I switched back to sonnet 4, and I instantly noticed the difference.
I don’t think I’ll ever go back from gpt-5 anymore.

The idea is simple, no-code, customizable, and trackable SaaS onboarding checklists. Some solutions exist but are expensive because they have bigger feature sets. I'll only focus on a single problem.
In the worst case, I can use it for @usemevo.com

1/ So the idea is to create authority with Google and other search engines. You do this by creating content pillars which are further broken in to topic clusters. These are on subjects directly and indirectly related to the problem you are solving.

After the flow feature, @usemevo.com is slowly evolving from a chatbot builder into an n8n alternative.
Your chatbot will remember all previous interactions and user attributes, guide users through different paths based on those attributes, execute background actions, and much more.

Is your chatbot responding to everyone in the same way? You’re losing conversions.
With Mevo’s Conditional Jumps, your chatbot can:
- Send each user down a unique path
- Trigger actions based on data & answers
Why settle for generic replies when you can give personalized conversations at scale?

Keeping up with developments in artificial intelligence can feel like a full-time job. I don’t want to fall behind, but I struggle to keep up with all the news. Something significant seems to happen every week. When I try to follow everything, I barely have time left to apply any of it.
