notJust.Podcast with Vadim Savin

Nevo David bootstrapped Postiz, an open-source social media scheduler, in one of the most crowded SaaS niches there is. It sat at $3K MRR for months. Today it's past $270K MRR, growing around $1K per day, with no VC money.

In this episode, Nevo breaks down the exact marketing playbook behind that growth: how he used open source to win on Reddit, why he stopped selling a tool and started selling outcomes, and the X strategy that changed everything.

We also talk about riding hype cycles without depending on them, getting cited by LLMs, why he hires marketers instead of developers, whether SaaS is really dead, and how he stayed focused on one product while everyone else was launching a new one every month.
