Rules can change, so Rankhog keeps verification dates and the original public Reddit sources visible.

Rule summary

Only posts about Micro SaaS apps: Posts should stay focused on micro-SaaS products and small software businesses.
Be respectful and ethical: Keep discussion respectful and avoid unethical tactics.
Do not spam or troll: Spam, trolling, and low-value posting are not welcome.
Share useful builder context: Product mentions work best when paired with lessons, numbers, or a concrete question.

Works well

Small-team SaaS lessons with niche, MRR, channel, and constraint details.
Questions about pricing, distribution, automation, support, or product scope.
Build-in-public posts that explain what changed and what was learned.
Transparent tool mentions that are not the whole point of the post.

Avoid

Generic SaaS advice with no micro-SaaS angle.
Spammy launch posts or repeated product drops.
Unethical growth tactics.
Posts with no niche, customer, or operating detail.
