How I Built It: $17K/Month Open Source SaaS
with Nevo
Nevo built Postiz, an open-source social media scheduler supporting 25 platforms, to $17K MRR by leveraging developer communities for distribution. He outlines a systematic playbook for open-source growth including GitHub optimization, strategic posting on HackerNews, Reddit, Lemmy, and Dev.to, emphasizing that brand—not code—is the defensible advantage. He also demonstrates the product's core features and tech stack while arguing that learning distribution fundamentals before building is crucial for success.
