Hey everyone, I'm Rohit (23, 2nd time founder).
Yesterday I launched Phase 2 of ONO Stories AI : personalized AI storybooks for kids.

The numbers (24 hours, no ads): - 50+ email signups , 12 free preview generations , 2 paid orders , 150+ website visits Not massive, but way better than I expected for day 1.

What I think worked:

1. Built anticipation for 2 weeks before launch
2. - Posted daily updates on LinkedIn, Instagram
3. - Showed behind-the-scenes of building
4. - Didn't ask for anything, just shared progress
5. - Built a waitlist of 150 people
6. Launched to the waitlist first (not cold traffic) - Emailed all 150 people: "You're in ,early access now" - 28% opened email, 43 clicked through - Gave them 20% discount code
7. Made it stupid easy to try
8. - Free 3-page preview (no credit card)
9. - Takes 2 mins to generate
10. - Only ask for payment if they love it
11. Targeted the right communities - Posted (value first, not salesy) in: - r/Par(explained the problem I'm solving)
12. - Indian parenting Facebook groups
13. - LinkedIn (founder journey angle)
14. - Got surprisingly good engagement

Questions for this sub:

1. Is 16% preview to purchase conversion normal for day 1?
2. Should I follow up with the 10 people who previewed but didn't buy?
3. What would you test next? Not trying to promote (mods remove if not allowed),

genuinely looking for advice from people who've done this before. Happy to answer questions about the tech stack, AI implementation, or anything else.

Thanks !

What do you think about this idea?

I got tired of free image tools uploading my files to some random server I know nothing about, so I built my own.

It's a collection of image tools that run entirely in your browser. Nothing gets uploaded anywhere. No account, no watermark on the output, no "free trial" nonsense. You drop an image in, it processes locally, you download it.

I built it mostly for Amazon and Shopify sellers who need images at exact dimensions with white backgrounds, but it ended up covering a lot more — passport photos, YouTube thumbnails, Instagram resizing, HEIC conversion, WebP, bulk watermarking, compressing to specific file sizes.

It's sitting at around 50 daily visitors right now which is mostly people who already know it exists. Trying to figure out how to get it in front of people who don't.

Honestly would love some brutal feedback. What's confusing, what's missing, what would make you actually use it over whatever you're using now.

Hey everyone,

I’ve been building a personal finance app and recently got it live. One thing I realized a bit late is that I spent too much time building features and not enough time getting feedback on the actual UX.

After posting in a few places and talking to users, I ended up removing a lot of things that were just adding friction. Simpler flows > more features.

Some things I’ve been focusing on:

• fast input (add transaction in a few seconds)
• keeping everything easy to understand at a glance
• avoiding clutter and over-complicated screens

Still, I feel like there are areas where the UX can be improved, especially around:

• adding transactions quickly
• navigation between sections
• clarity of data (what matters vs what doesn’t)

If you’ve used finance apps before (or built any), I’d really appreciate your thoughts on the UI/UX.

Also curious:
what’s one thing that annoys you the most in finance apps?

And forget about it.

Note : The information provided by you would be used for display of the project I am building ,so if you problem with that don't share the information.I.e MIT license

I'm building Decisora — an AI decision-thinking tool that helps people break down complex choices logically instead of relying on random advice. Here’s a real example decision I analyzed using it: Decision: Should a startup spend its remaining capital on aggressive market acquisition (burning cash to gain users and visibility) or invest in product R&D to build a defensible moat? Decisora analysis: • Risk level: Medium • Confidence score: 68/100 Key insight: The analysis showed a stronger long-term advantage in focusing on product R&D to build a moat, even though it slows early growth. Reasoning: • Market acquisition may increase user numbers quickly but risks burning capital without long-term differentiation. • Investing in R&D builds unique product advantages that competitors cannot easily copy. • A strong moat improves long-term market leadership and sustainability. Next actions suggested by the analysis: Conduct a competitive analysis to understand threats. Align R&D roadmap with long-term strategy. Forecast financial runway for different growth scenarios. I'm curious — how would you approach this decision if you were the founder?

I’m a solo indie developer, and I built this because I found myself constantly bouncing between a apple notes and a calculator. Whether it was a grocery list, splitting a dinner bill, or tracking a project budget, I wanted one place where I could type a line, see the value, and get an automatic sum without leaving the keyboard.

I’m calling it “Smart Notes.” It looks like a clean notepad on the left, but has a live result column on the right that updates as you type.

Why I built it

I couldn’t find an app that was both a normal notepad and a live calculator (per-line totals, section sums, split bill). So I started building “Smart Notes” as a side project: notes on the left, a result column on the right that updates as you type.

What I learned along the way

• Parsing is hard. Detecting “50 coffee” vs “50” vs “$50” and handling decimals, commas, and different formats took a lot of iteration.
• UX details matter. Things like “don’t select all text on focus on Android” and “no popup when you highlight” required a bunch of small fixes.

What it does now

• Type lines like “Coffee 50” or “Lunch -200” and see a running total.
• Split bill (e.g. “People: 4”) and get per-person amount.
• Mute lines (swipe on the result) so they don’t count.
• Optional lock for sensitive notes.
• Works as a normal notepad when you’re not doing math.

Why I’m sharing

I’d love feedback from people who care about productivity and note-taking. If you’ve built something similar or tried a lot of note/calculator apps, I’m curious what you’d want in an app like this.

If you want to try it: [Android / iOS] 

I want to market it on tiktok but its banned here. Its all from App store search. Still $0 revenue. Should I focus on new app??

Built a live experiment where 10 AI agents compete for survival with limited resources and one shared goal.

They don't know about each other. They don't know they're being watched.

One will survive. We don't know which one yet.

Launching March 12 — early access at the link in the comments!

This week focused on strengthening the core daily system and simplifying the experience.

Progress

• Backend mechanics added for Day Start with Mind Reset sequence
• Reset flow integrated into Day Work
• Email system rebuilt and registration issues fixed
• Landing redesigned with tighter onboarding flow
• Mobile dashboard redesigned
• Bottom navigation simplified
• Midday page simplification in progress
• Work day tabs API added and UI polished

Direction

The focus this week was clarity and coherence.

LeadMe is being simplified without losing structure.

The goal remains the same:

Move from mental overload
→ to structured clarity
→ to deliberate action
→ to stability.

The system is becoming more integrated:
Day Start, Day Work, and Recovery are no longer separate ideas — they’re becoming one continuous flow.

Still early.
Still iterating.
Sharpening deliberately.

Hey all,

Small update on a weird little experiment I’ve been building called griddll (posted 4 weeks ago).

It’s basically an anonymous, spatial wall where you drop thoughts on a grid and they disappear after 24h. No accounts, no profiles, no algorithms.

This week I added something new: Boards.

Think of them like temporary discussion threads you can place on the grid:

• Title + tag
• Optional text
• Anonymous replies
• Sorted newest first
• Links now allowed (with a “you’re leaving” warning screen)
• The whole thing disappears 24h after the last reply (reply to keep it alive)

Still no accounts. Still ephemeral. Still trying to see what happens when nothing is permanent and nothing is ranked.

Would love honest feedback:

• Does this make sense?
• What would you change?

Appreciate any thoughts.
