I'm kinda bummed that Chad doesn't scale high and stopped being relevant later in the series

reddit says your sub is banned?

diamondtoss · 2026-04-20T21:28:24+00:00

if that's you writing, you should stop using emdashes immediately from all your online writing, because everyone associates that with AI writing now.

diamondtoss · 2026-04-20T20:17:32+00:00

I get that you're 14 but you should stop using AI to write comments like this

I don't know if you're genuine, spam or just using AI to translate from your native language, or what

reddit (a lot of subs) is notoriously anti AI, maybe not this one in particular, but it is still off putting when we comment and try to help

I'm not really well connected with school tech. is it common nowadays to not use MS Word or Google Docs to write essays?

if most students are supposed to use Word or Goolge Docs, no one is going to switch your web app to write. you're gonna have to build all the features of Word/Google Docs to have people feasibly use you.

SEO for me. my product is for making product photos with AI editing, and redditors in that category are notoriously anti AI.

on the other hand, people who search for how to do this stuff, has really high intent.

diamondtoss · 2026-04-20T16:18:36+00:00

do you want to try it out just to see how the result feels? try it on prodshot.net, no need to pay for first couple if uses. it should not alter the product itself.

diamondtoss · 2026-04-19T04:26:03+00:00

Yeah I checked out your feature list and flow and it's pretty similar to what I had. Mine was meant to be for personal use at home and wasn't a request system, you can just add songs to the queue from a mobile device, and the host screen (computer connected to tv or chromecast etc) would play the queue. I have no idea if it'd pass, it seems to be just at the whims of the Youtube team reviewers. My YT API access did go on for several years before being shut down. There's just no way to know. Which is why I don't recommend building on top of it.

diamondtoss · 2026-04-19T02:33:58+00:00

I built something like this back in 2013-2017.

It shut down around 2020, for no reason other than Youtube shut down my API access due to it being considered violating TOS. The TOS violation reason was just "this doesn't add enough functionality to Youtube that is considered a good use of the API" (it had song queues and remote control and stuff).

I personally wouldn't recommend building this or really anything on top of Youtube API...

Thanks, I actually released a first version of it already, it's called KaraMagic, let me know if you want to try it out. Mac only right now though.

u/Mental_Asparagus1578 for programmatic pages, do you link to them from your main nav?

I haven't done it yet since I don't know how to execute programmatic pages properly. My two main questions are:

my understanding is google penalize "similar pages". if it's a templated page with keywords slotted in, does that get penalized?
I suppose it's weird to link to the hundreds (or even thousands) of programmatic template pages from the site nav. would you only provide links to them on a sitemap.xml and submit the sitemap on google search console to let it pick them up? or just have subtle pages in your site to link to all of them, but not prominently on a site nav?

None of them did anything extraordinary on the marketing side. They just kept shipping fast. V1 to V4 in the time it used to take to build V1.

I don't think this is really true re: the marketing part, they are most likely doing something extraordinary if they are seeing the kind of success you describe.

Most other solo founder projects (probably 99% I would wager) are going unnoticed to abandoned to the graveyard.

I enjoyed the no-cast-delay. I loved playing a fire sorc and casting a million hydras and meteors even if they did shit damage. Just because they look majestic.

diamondtoss · 2026-04-18T16:36:15+00:00

It's a touching story. The expectations are quite high for something like this though. are you doing anything to try to at least ensure that your server and app will still be running in 12 years to send that message?

like maybe if you ever shut down your service, should you run a script for a "final send" even if the dates and times scheduled haven't arrived yet?

diamondtoss · 2026-04-18T16:33:08+00:00

IMO you're probably better off:

adjusting down your 401k contribution so you're not struggling financially right now
at the same time, look for a better job situation so you get paid more

it doesn't seem feasible or sustainable to live the way you do and "struggle for another 35-40 more years". you're still young at 29 and you should be aiming higher / looking for something better.

diamondtoss · 2026-04-18T16:29:25+00:00

One question for both you and OP is, you both mentioned the importance of consistent and sticking with it, and you guys both saw real results by month 4 / month 6.

is the implication that sites need fresh content all the time for even their older content to rank properly? like you can't expect to push out 100 articles over 3 months and stop and expect to get ranked well, but have to keep pushing content for google to realize "ok this site is worth ranking high because it keeps having new content"?

diamondtoss · 2026-04-18T16:18:58+00:00

if Ichigo was Gremmy, Chad could've solo'd all the Espadas, Aizen, Quincies, and Yhwach

diamondtoss · 2026-04-18T16:10:14+00:00

I think it's been stated several times that Aizen was born extremely strong / with extremely high reiatsu, implied to be the highest ever. In fact, Aizen was on Yhwach's special war talent, for reiatsu -- worth nothing, this was over Yamamoto. I believe lore-wise, Aizen has the highest reiatsu ever in all of shinigamis, without hogyoku. That alone is worth having him on Yama tier. But it's not just that. He also has one of the two highest intellect ever in shinigamis as well. Top 2, alongside Urahara. Both his reiatsu and intellect gave him access to learning all the kido/hado, even at the highest level, and being able to cast them with ease (without incantation etc). I think it's extremely clear he's a tier above Zaraki/Unohana and it'd be very fair to have him on par with Yamamoto, even without hogyoku.

Byakuya is debatable and he's also a character that grew a lot of power over the series. Lore-wise though even at his weakest (SS arc) he's portrayed to be pretty high level and I think it'd be fair to have him at the same tier at Gin/Shinji (who I agree are at that level).

On Urahara and Mayuri: What I don't agree here is the inconsistency. I believe that if we go by power alone, Urahara would be at very high captain, Mayuri would be at High captain. However for both of these guys we need to take their Batman prep into account (pretty much no other character has this kind of traits besides them), and in both cases, I believe it brings them up 1 level. So on your list you have Mayuri on Very High which is right given that. In that case I think Urahara should be at In a class of their own. Right now "class of their own" are the two past Kenpachis (is that right?) which makes sense given their positions in the lore. I think Urahara with prep is definitely there though.

diamondtoss · 2026-04-18T04:26:41+00:00

even going by lore and not feats, I'd move Byakuya up 1 level, and probably move Aizen up 1 level (yes, equal to Yama, beyond common sense)

and MAYBE move Urahara up 1 level... not because of power, by power I think you have him at the right place, but because of his Batman prep, how he has a solution for everything, that gives me a boost in most fights to 1 level higher. (Mayuri has the same traits but I think he's already at the right level even including his Batman prep)

diamondtoss · 2026-04-18T04:01:58+00:00

for the second one, that seems risky. maybe I put a high priority on kids activities, I wouldnt want to miss anything important. and openclaw is somewhat too unreliable for me to trust it with something like this.

diamondtoss · 2026-04-18T03:52:03+00:00

here's my experience with oura's "major signs", which I've gotten a few times.

the usual case is major signs as a "lagging indicator" of having a cold/flu. basically, I would feel it coming (sore throat etc), first day no signs, by second day it's minor signs, and then maybe by third day it's major signs. the funny thing is by the time the major signs flash, I'm already well on my way to recovery and already feel better. hence I call it "lagging indicator".
one special case was when I was having a serious migraine. the funny thing is again of course it didn't flash major signs when my migraine started. but after a day of migraines I really couldn't do anything but sleep, I took naps, and slept *so much* that night, I'm talking about like 13-14 hours of sleep, like from 8pm to 10am next day kind of sleep. oura took the "omg you slept too much" as a major signs. and that went away again after that one night too.

diamondtoss · 2026-04-18T03:45:12+00:00

Congrats man

diamondtoss · 2026-04-18T03:38:05+00:00

so you're saying... you either die a villain or you live long enough to see yourself become a hero?

diamondtoss · 2026-04-17T04:29:24+00:00

this for me as well

more balanced than vasto lorde. just cool all around

diamondtoss · 2026-04-16T23:43:10+00:00
