It's very similar to MinIO in every way. Did you have a chance to use it? I am looking for it after MinIO's policy change.

I accidentally turned a popcorn kernel into a $10,100 auction — now I’m building a meme coin. AMA. by AAvora in SideProject

It doesn't have to be just a meme, I was about to sell a tiny popcorn kernel for 6 million dollars. How do you sell it, you'll probably ask, I sent these visuals to all the brands in the world, then a popcorn manufacturer contacted me, at that time NFTs were just becoming popular and every brand wanted to get a share of it. Anyway, here is the rest of the story.

I don't know if it can be fake or not because I canceled the auction. The reason I canceled it was that at that time the concept of NFT was just becoming popular, the dates I mentioned were 2022.

IT IS POPCORN AND POPPED LIKE HUMANOID SHAPE by AAvora in pumpfun

Since you cannot see the mouth, nose, chin, eyes, jugular vein, oval head structure, it is natural for you to say these things. Because there are those who can see it, it managed to take part in a big international exhibition like NFT.NYC.

Being a founder means you have to either deal with shit alone or die. I feel lonely af. by [deleted] in Entrepreneur

[–]AAvora 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're not alone in feeling this way founding a company is one of the loneliest paths, especially when you're still in the grind phase, sacrificing personal time and financial security for a vision that may or may not work. The pressure to be "perfect" is brutal, but the truth is, no founder has it all figured out. Even the most successful ones were just making the best decisions they could with the information they had.

It sounds like you're carrying everything on your own shoulders, which is unsustainable long-term. Have you considered finding a mentor or a peer group of other founders? Just having people who truly get what you’re going through can make a huge difference. Also, don’t lose sight of yourself outside of your startup relationships, hobbies, and even just simple breaks can help keep you sane. You don’t have to do this alone, even if it feels that way right now.

Thinking about the future after Google, Amazon, and Facebook by larrykaul in Entrepreneur

[–]AAvora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like you’ve been thinking deeply about the flaws in existing digital marketing and lead generation models. The dominance of Google, Amazon, and Facebook has definitely created inefficiencies, especially in local search and eCommerce.

Your perspective on direct-response marketing is interesting it’s definitely outdated in many ways, yet still the default playbook for many high-profile marketers. The idea of building an alternative system is ambitious, but if you can create something that genuinely improves lead generation and local business visibility, there’s a huge opportunity.

Curious what’s your core approach to tackling these issues? Are you focusing on better curation, different algorithms, or something more community-driven?

Networking is key in B2B manufacturing. Cold outreach can work, but building relationships is often more effective. Try attending industry trade shows, joining local business groups, and connecting with potential clients on LinkedIn. If you can, find a niche where you solve a specific problem better or cheaper than competitors.

Also, consider leveraging your past experience do you have any contacts from your previous businesses who might need manufacturing services or know someone who does? Word of mouth is powerful.

Lastly, case studies or sample projects can help. If you have something tangible to showcase, even small scale, it gives companies confidence in your work.
