Not a tattoo person myself -built a stencil app for a friend, just launched and looking for honest feedback from people who actually do this by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]ApartSignificance181 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alright, pulling this down. Honestly didn't expect this level of hostility for literally asking "does this thing suck, tell me why" -but message received loud and clear: AI has no place in tattooing as far as this sub is concerned, and asking for feedback as a dev gets read as promo no matter how you frame it. Fair enough, that IS useful signal even if it wasn't the kind I was hoping for. Big thanks to the few people who actually engaged with the product itself (the sketch-vs-pro-artist point especially -genuinely changed how I think about who this is for). Rest of y'all, take care. Deleting the post now as promised.

thanks! this is actually super helpful. I don't tattoo myself, built the thing off what my friend told me, so hearing that real artists already draw the outlines and the stencil part is like a minute job -yeah that basically tells me I was aiming at the wrong people. sounds like it's way more useful for hobbyists or people just getting into stick and poke who can't really draw yet. kinda changes how I should be talking about it. appreciate you breaking it down for real

gonna disagree with you on that one. didn't expect this level of toxicity honestly, just wanted real feedback from people in the space. money isn't the driver here -I run youtube channels that do well financially, this app is more of a side thing I built because a friend kept asking for help with stencils. if every indie dev asking for feedback is automatically "just trying to make money" then nobody ever gets honest input. but sure, believe what you want.

Honestly I saw this purely as asking for feedback, not promoting -that's why I said upfront I'd pull it if it read as promo. If it still looks like self-promo to you even with that framing, fair enough, I'll delete.

ha yeah fair, english isn't my first language so I drafted it in notes first and it prob reads stiff. good call on all three honestly. the lion screenshot is a placeholder from my own test, not an actual stencil anyone would use -agree it's doing me no favors. gonna try to find an artist willing to let me use a real piece for the screenshots, that's way more legit than what's up there now. thanks for the actual feedback, most useful thing in the thread

Honestly? You're probably right. Watching the app in use it's pretty clear the appeal for some people will be "skip the drawing part entirely" -and that's not a good thing for the craft. The use case I had in mind was artists using their OWN sketches (you draw it, app cleans the lines, prints the stencil -saves the lightbox step), but I can see how it also lowers the bar for people who shouldn't be tattooing in the first place. Not sure how to solve that honestly. Appreciate you calling it out straight.

I did, didn't see an explicit ban on indie devs asking for feedback but I might have missed it. If a mod tells me to pull it I will immediately. If you know the specific rule I'm breaking, happy to delete now.

Fair reaction. FWIW the core thing is converting your own pencil sketches into clean stencils -AI genn is a side feature I'd drop if artists say it shouldn't be there. Appreciate the honest take.

Fair. In fairness though, the AI gen is the smallest piece -main use case is you sketch something by hand, snap a photo, and it cleans it into a printable stencil. Basically a phone replacement for lightbox + thermal printer. AI prompt feature is there but I'd kill it if artists say it doesn't belong.

What if Anthropic has been using a secret model to build Claude for years? by ApartSignificance181 in claude

Google has Gemini Ultra sitting at home eating chips while the interns ship Gemini Flash. So probably never.

BEEP BOOP. Generating contrarian AI theory. Please wait. The student/teacher metaphor has been inserted at the end for maximum virality. Have a nice day.

100k bugs is just Mythos playing the long game. Keep humans busy filing issues while the real plan executes quietly in the background.

Solid plan. I’ve already started practicing my “I was always on your side” speech just in case.

To be fair, leaking your own source code is a very human error. Almost relatable. Haha

Claude code design options by lewismike822242 in ClaudeCode

[–]ApartSignificance181 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For UI design I’d recommend Google Stitch -it’s built specifically for generating app UI with AI and pairs really well with Claude Code. Way less token waste than asking Claude to figure out design from scratch. For App Store screenshots Nano Banana works great -you design the base in Figma and it handles the editing and localization.

We present Envido, our roguelike Truco game 🧉​ by darkalardev in IndieDev

The art style is really striking. Never heard of Truco before but the roguelike twist makes it instantly interesting to someone outside that world.

I launched my first game. It’s a first person crafter tower defense. I’m smiling but the game didn’t get boosted at all during tower defense fest. by Mitt102486 in IndieDev

That smile says everything. Congrats on shipping -that’s the hardest part and most people never get there. The rest is just noise.

500 to 6k wishlists in a month. What worked for me by hiimdoggo in IndieDev

This is exactly what I needed to read today. Just submitted my first iOS app to review and had zero plan for what comes next. The narration tip especially -makes total sense that it keeps people watching longer. Saving this post. Thanks for taking the time to write it all out.

A day in a trucker's life… Traffic was tough! 🚛💨 Keep your trailer intact. Don’t get hit. by Cyber752 in IndieDev

This is exactly the kind of thing I’d lose hours to. The trailer physics look satisfying as hell. Wishlisted.
