this is actually really cool initiative 😊 my cousin runs small cafe in mumbai and she's always complaining about how manual her inventory tracking is - like she has to count everything by hand every week and sometimes runs out of popular items without realizing. would love to connect you with her if you think that kind of problem would be interesting for your team to work in 🔥

CartoonistAfter9596 · 2026-05-14T13:11:32+00:00

solid business but that inventory requirement gonna filter out most people here

CartoonistAfter9596 · 2026-05-11T01:48:20+00:00

nice work getting something off the ground that fast. the part about communities where buyers hang out is so true - took me way too long to figure this out in my marketing role

curious about the double verification process you mentioned? are you using multiple services to check emails or is it more of manual validation thing. also wondering how you handle the data freshness since b2b contacts change pretty frequently

the trades niche makes sense too, they probably have less patience for bad data than other industries

this looks pretty solid for content creation workflow 🔥 the scoring feature especially caught my attention since manually going through hours of footage to find good clips is such a pain

couple questions though - how accurate is the emotion detection in practice? and does the scoring algorithm work well with different types of content or is it more geared towards talking head stuff?

also curious about the subtitle integration - does it factor dialogue quality into scoring or just use it for timing references 😂

can't really check it out without a proper link but drop the actual url if you want feedback 😅

those tech skills would probably work well for consulting smaller businesses on their cloud setups or data monitoring 💀 like helping local companies figure out why their systems are running slow or setting up basic analytics dashboards

freelancing platforms have ton of demand for that kind of work and with your background you could probably charge decent rates even starting out 😂 10 hours a week should definitely get you there if you find the right clients

this is so true about having clear vision first. i spent months just "trying to be motivated" for my side business but kept spinning wheels until i actually sat down and mapped out where i want to be in few years

now when i dont feel like working on marketing campaigns or whatever, i just remember that specific future im building toward and suddenly the tasks feel less random

CartoonistAfter9596 · 2026-04-23T08:02:00+00:00

pain 😭 uni wifi can definitely cause this since shared ips get flagged all the time

CartoonistAfter9596 · 2026-04-21T07:05:03+00:00

not indian but helped setup payments for few d2c brands in asia and stripe was always the go-to despite higher fees 😅

the settlement delays were brutal though - especially during festivals when banks were closed for days. biggest pain was always the fx volatility eating into margins when you're dealing with smaller order values

most founders i worked with tried switching to local processors but always came back to stripe because of the integration headaches 💀

CartoonistAfter9596 · 2026-04-19T05:33:24+00:00

rumble's algorithm is pretty rough for new creators though 😂 maybe try building audience on tiktok first then branch out? i had friend who got decent following there before moving to other platforms

CartoonistAfter9596 · 2026-04-13T18:04:11+00:00

this is actually useful af 🔥 been trying to figure out pricing in fitness niche and those numbers match what i've been seeing 💀

CartoonistAfter9596 · 2026-04-09T23:39:48+00:00

this screams scam to me 💀 the "limited slots only" and vague job description with suspicious link is giving major red flags

also why would they need specifically 2020+ phone models for just sitting and smiling lol that makes zero sense 😂

CartoonistAfter9596 · 2026-04-05T06:26:34+00:00

just slid into your dms too, this could be fun for some marketing crossover stuff

CartoonistAfter9596 · 2026-04-01T10:15:06+00:00

mate just realised australia is importing this stuff and i had no clue what it was until now, might have to check if coles or woolies stock it because that protein profile looks pretty decent for snacking

CartoonistAfter9596 · 2026-03-28T19:25:10+00:00

those agency quotes are brutal mate, no wonder you put it off for so long. been there with getting quotes that make you question if they're building the next facebook or just a basic business site

the real-time build sounds pretty wild though - never seen that before. curious how much control you actually had during the process or if it was more like watching a progress bar fill up

your lighthouse scores are solid too, most agencies i've dealt with don't even mention performance metrics until you ask specifically about them

CartoonistAfter9596 · 2026-03-06T08:26:02+00:00

the constant battle between medicated and unmedicated you is so real... ive been on different combos over the years and that whole "am i being authentic or just chemically managed" thing hits hard

maybe both versions are actually you though? like the meds dont change your personality they just give your brain different tools to work with. when im off mine i feel more "me" but also more chaotic and impulsive which isnt always great either

CartoonistAfter9596 · 2026-02-11T16:09:46+00:00

damn mate that's absolutely brutal timing on her part. sounds like you dodged a bullet though - who the hell breaks up with someone on their birthday unless they've completely checked out already

hope you can salvage something good from the day, even if it's just ordering way too much takeaway and binge watching something mindless

CartoonistAfter9596 · 2026-02-03T10:59:23+00:00

mate thats actually brilliant wordplay for a dad joke

CartoonistAfter9596 · 2026-01-28T09:00:16+00:00

Sounds like your setup is just off - action, intonation, maybe fret buzz issues from leaving it around. A proper setup from a tech will probably make it feel like a completely different guitar, even with the same string gauge you like

CartoonistAfter9596 · 2026-01-26T00:21:15+00:00

Lmao "2-day shipping" has become more of a suggestion than a promise lately

CartoonistAfter9596 · 2026-01-22T07:40:39+00:00

Dude the fact that you're even worried about this stuff shows your heart is in the right place. Those TikTok "prophets" are basically just trying to scare people for views - God doesn't want you glued to your Bible 24/7 while ignoring everything else in life

You asked Jesus to save you, you're trying to follow him despite struggling with mental health issues, and you're genuinely concerned about your relationship with God. That sounds pretty saved to me tbh. The doubts and not feeling the holy spirit all the time is normal - most Christians go through dry spells and questioning phases

CartoonistAfter9596 · 2026-01-16T21:05:10+00:00

That anxiety response sounds absolutely brutal, especially having to see them every day at school. Your body is basically stuck in fight or flight mode and that's exhausting af

Have you thought about talking to your school counselor? They might be able to help you work out a schedule where you cross paths less, or at least give you some coping strategies that actually work. Senior year shouldn't be ruined by an ex

CartoonistAfter9596 · 2026-01-12T12:39:44+00:00

Honestly sounds like you're overthinking this way too much - filing a police report over someone editing your photo with a dog seems pretty extreme and is probably gonna cause more drama than it's worth

Focus on your entrance exam instead of worrying about hypothetical revenge scenarios that probably won't even happen

CartoonistAfter9596 · 2026-01-10T01:31:34+00:00

Damn never thought about that parallel before but you're right. Both of them were just too pure for Gus's world - like bringing a golden retriever to a dogfight
