Rules can change, so Rankhog stores verification dates with each MDX page and keeps 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.
