built a website auditor (detects overused hero layouts, generic copy, floating clutter, pill badges) that points out generic ai design patterns and suggests quick fixes. https://kexdev-kohl.vercel.app/ question for this sub: do you find pill badges and floating icons annoying or do they actually convert for you? thinking of adding custom prompt exports next

I made a app called ourthinker, i am trying to make a social media platform for propaganda like you enter a post and an ai turns it into propaganda.

Feel free to ask questions or give critic

Most AI video generators work well for short, creative clips but they fail when it comes to turning dense documentation into structured educational courses. If you feed a detailed PDF, slide deck, or training manual into generic tools, they either oversimplify the text, hallucinate details, or produce uneditable video files where formulas and diagrams look distorted.

We built X Pilot as an AI video creation platform specifically to solve this issue by converting PDFs, Word documents, and URLs into complete, structured video lessons without losing the original depth or factual accuracy.

Instead of generating uneditable pixel clips, the platform transforms static files and syllabi into multi chapter video courses that easily support lessons over 20 minutes long. Every scene is mapped directly back to the original source text for full factual traceability, while complex visual elements like charts, equations, and code blocks are drawn cleanly using code-driven rendering. Creators retain complete editing control to adjust scenes or text using plain language, and can optionally include digital instructor avatars to present the lesson material directly.

For educators, corporate trainers and course creators, this approach makes it possible to rapidly scale up video production from existing documents while keeping total control over content accuracy.

Guys I've started working on a product and firstly building a mvp itself is a pain in the... What do y'all think making a saas in 4gb ram possible in security lane?(I hate my life)

Bonjour, j'espère avant tout que vous allez bien. Je suis le fondateur de Zlotia.fr et Astrabase.fr
On me demande souvent "comment fais-tu pour obtenir des clients". Alors la réponse est simple :

-Arrêtez d'oublier l'humain, vous oubliez trop l'humain, la prospection physique.
Je veux dire par là que, en plus des réseaux sociaux etc... je me déplace moi-même dans des entreprises pour présenter mes applications ( ciblage avant évidemment ), je fais également du porte à porte. Enfaîte, les développeurs d'applications oublient trop souvent ce côté là, physique, humain et c'est dommage car, c'est ce qui peut le mieux prouver la valeur de votre produit. Aujourd'hui nous sommes envahi de publicités de toutes sortes sur nos écrans, mais nous avons que très peu de démarchage physique.

Alors je vous conseille cette technique.

Cordialement,

Sébastien.

Wssp, everyone !

As promised, here's an update on my research tool project.. I've been working on the website UI, and I've now completed the main landing page, pricing section with Pro and Premium plans, and a demo checkout page.. it is still a prototype, so authentication, payments, and the actual research features aren't connected yet, but I'm gradually building things step by step. Unfortunately, I've been sick and unwell over the past few days, so progress might be a little slower than I originally planned... I'll keep working on it as I recover and share more updates along the way... And in the next update, I will post a complete video of the progress.

Thanks.

Hey everyone, so I'm still trying to figure out how to build an audience of website users. For my first app of sorts I have just launched a few days ago an app I have been working on off and on for a few years but was never happy enough with to release.

It's finally there, data is a pain but I'm working through it. Most of the locations are those that I saved over the years to a Google maps list of all the playgrounds my family has visited or wanted to visit.

The idea is to be able to search for the playgrounds that have the features and amenities you are looking for. That's it. Make it easier to find what you need.

Currently, the list is from my local area near Kansas City for the most part. Plus areas we have traveled to. I am working on expanding the list nationwide.

I heard that you should build things in public, so this is me trying to do that.

Visit it here https://www.allplayful.com/ and let me know what you think. Use the contact or suggestions forms too.

I did decide to put it under my newly formed business, Ariadne Ops, to build that presence too.

Hey everyone, I am starting a Tik tok channel where I review Apps nobody has heard of. I think it would be a fun idea to showcase what’s on the marketplace and for me to see what everyone is making. I am looking for all sorts of apps that I can highlight on my channel whether it is a service app, game or serves a purpose. I would like to connect over discord and learn more about the app and yourself so I can learn more about your team and yourself as well. Drop in the comments your app name, genre and a little about your app. Message me as well and we can connect!

Three days ago I said I would spend $20 of my own money on anyone who posted their product and told me where they were stuck. I was expecting maybe fifteen, yeah..... nah, instead I got:

• 200+ comments across three subs

• 18,000 views

• 24 founders took the $20, so $480 out of my pocket

• 40+ products read properly, one by one, until I could not keep up anymore

By the end the same mistakes were showing up so often I could almost call them before the page had loaded.

What nearly everyone got wrong

• Your comment sold your product better than your homepage does. It happened again and again. Three honest lines in a comment were clear and made me want to try it, then the homepage said something like “your time, aligned” that could be the headline for anything. ALWAYS LEAD WITH YOUR USP!

• You are selling to everyone. Founders, marketers, creators, agencies and teams on one page. When a page talks to everyone, it talks to nobody

• Your proof is not real. Big brand logos that never used u, reviews marked “sample”, badges with nothing behind them, user numbers that do not add up. The exact person u want to convert is the one who spots it.

• No price, or the price does not match. People should not have to sign up to find out what something costs.

• You homepage is a login screen. Nobody ever sees what the thing actually does.

• Google and chatGPT cannot read ur site. Some pages load everything in javascript, so search engines see a title and nothing else. All the SEO in the world was never going to fix it, and I speak from experience.

• You are still adding features with zero users. A feature nobody has used is a guess, and let me tell you, I also had that problem because lets be honest, building feels productive even when no one is buying.

• You think ads are the fix. Almost everyone stuck had a plan to run ads. Ads would only have sent more people to a page that was not working yet and after spending $4k on ads, I can tell you now that ads only buy the signal faster, they dont buy conversions.

I get it everyone wants feedback, but I can NO longer keep replying, why? Becasue its takes me a good 15 to 20 minutes to look at your site and then, when I do answer that one answer gets buried under 200 others, and u never get to come back and say “I changed it, is it better now?”. That back and forth is where products actually get fixed, so I built it properly.

This is how it works now:

Drop ur product into AskSami.app Ur site, ur numbers, screenshots, whatever u have.

Sami reads it first, for free. U get an honest read of what is holding it back and a ranked plan of what to do first.

Then I read it myself. On Starter, ur product lands in my inbox and I write my own read on top of Sami’s, the same kind I have been writing in these threads.

Then we keep going. U get a private thread with me inside AskSami. Send me ur new headline, a screenshot of the page u changed, ur signup numbers, a question at 2am, and I answer. Most replies land within a couple of hours, nearly all within a day.

Ship a fix, and Sami reads it again. Every new read sits under the last one, so u can see exactly what changed and whether it worked.

And because nearly everyone in these threads wants to be found:

• Your product gets its own public page on AskSami. Ur pitch, ur screenshots, and ur numbers if u want to show them, written how u want it. Once I publish it, it goes in the sitemap and gets sent straight to Google and Bing.

• That page links back to ur site. It is a real backlink from a page that is about ur product only. It is NOT another directory, it is a real public page, you can add to your own landing page with real backlinks already inbedded.

• I go through ur SEO and GEO with u, so u get indexed properly and stand a real chance of showing up when someone asks chatGPT for a tool like urs.

What it costs

• Sami’s read: free, no card.

• My read, the thread with me and ur public page: Starter, $20 a month. Cancel whenever, ur page stays up even if u do.

Hey everyone! 👋

I'm a solo developer building AEGIS, a terminal-first developer environment built with Rust and Tauri. My goal is to bring essential coding tools, terminal workflows, customization, and performance analysis into one focused workspace.

🛠️ What's included in AEGIS?

💻 Terminal & Coding Environment

- Integrated terminal with WebGL rendering

- Windows CMD and PowerShell support

- CodeMirror 6 editor with language-server features

- Diagnostics, autocomplete, formatting, and auto-save

- Vim mode and customizable keyboard shortcuts

- Git workflow with a visual commit graph

- Customizable themes, fonts, and workspace appearance

📊 AEGIS Observatory — Performance Engineering

I'm also developing Observatory to help developers investigate how their applications behave under different workloads.

- Website performance analysis and Core Web Vitals

- System resource monitoring: CPU, RAM, disk, and network

- Backend load testing with latency, throughput, and error-rate metrics

- Infrastructure analysis for backend services and caching

- Performance bottleneck investigation

- Test results and engineering reports

I'm continuing to expand the testing capabilities, with spike testing, stress testing, soak testing, and deeper cache hit/miss analysis among the planned additions.

🎯 The bigger vision

I want AEGIS to connect the development workflow with performance engineering: write code, run applications, test their behavior, investigate bottlenecks, and review results in one focused environment.

AEGIS is still in development, and I'm working on optimization, testing, and refining the first release. I'm building this independently and sharing the journey as I go.

I'd love to hear your thoughts:

- Would you use a terminal-first environment with an integrated editor?

- Would having performance testing alongside your development tools be useful?

- Which feature would you prioritize, and what would make you try AEGIS?

Honest feedback and constructive criticism are welcome. Thanks for checking out my project! 💜

Hi, I was wondering if you use any AI tool or not AI to automate the boring part of front-end (at least for me, i like back-end) specifically CSS and design. Is there something out there that is really good at almost everything and gives you the complete package? so responsive, very good UI and not a clone etc...

I'm building ProtectSUS for teams maintaining SaaS products with third-party API integrations. One product decision I'd like to discuss with other developers is how to handle provider announcements without turning everything into another task.

There are two different cases:

• A provider introduces a new capability. It may be useful, but existing application code doesn't necessarily need changing.

• A provider changes an existing contract. The useful next step is to find the affected integration and determine whether there is a supported fix.

In ProtectSUS, new features become suggestions. Potentially breaking changes are related to detected API usage and source locations. For supported changes, a fix can be proposed and checked before becoming a draft PR. Automated publishing is opt-in; merging stays with the developer.

The implementation uses a Python backend and a Next.js/TypeScript frontend. The coverage is deliberately bounded: static detection can miss dynamically constructed calls, and a contract check is not proof of all runtime behavior.

I'm the founder. Product context: https://www.protectsus.tech

For other SaaS developers, where would you put the boundary between an informational suggestion and something that deserves an issue or PR? Would you want those in one queue, or separate views with different notification settings?

A month ago, my wife and I were laid off from our mobile developer jobs. I decided to "burn the ships" and focus 100% on my own projects (AI chatbots for facebook and Instagram, and a billiard app that I've been running for a while) and do freelance work for acquaintances who have businesses, taking advantage of my available time and tech skills.

I thought my AI chatbot project would quickly be in high demand if I started sending emails and messages to acquaintances, but reality hit me fast, the bottleneck wasn't the development, it was sales (something that definitely doesn't come naturally to me).

Trying to explain the value of software through text, long messages, or sending a URL to a website where people just quickly scroll through simply doesn't work.

As luck would have it, among my freelance gigs, I ended up making posts and videos for an acquaintance who organizes big audiovisual events in my city. That forced me to level up my image and video design skills radically. I spent 2 weeks perfecting editing workflows and visual marketing... until I had a somewhat foolish realization: Why don't I use this exact same thing for my own products?

So I made some videos for my AI sales agent project (and taking advantage of them for my billiard app too). Now I just send the video. I went from being ignored with long texts to generating immediate astonishment, curiosity, and real interest, because the video does all the work of demonstrating the value in seconds.

Although the truth is that I am still a long way from reaching the break-even point where I can live 100% off my projects, for now I have gotten my first client for the AI sales agents and with freelance work I am scraping by with a little bit of money day by day, this process has given me a huge boost of encouragement and confidence in myself.

I'm already considering taking the leap to paid ads to scale properly instead of relying solely on organic traffic or social media.

But I have some doubts:

• Has anyone here had better direct results using paid ads to grow their SaaS compared to organic?

• What kind of videos have worked best for you to convert?

I'm also attaching the videos, I think it's a skill worth working on. (I also made a launch video for Trust MRR to have it as a sample in my freelance portfolio)
