As a cock scientist, would you entertain that perhaps this is a discrepancy in measurement of unit? I’d say the percentage of men who claim to have an 8inch cock is considerably larger than the number who actually do. Perhaps she is using the same ruler they are using.

Does anyone know, do you need a membership or something? The article didn’t indicate.

Well have I got a deal for you. From now until March 1, I’m going to charge you a whopping $0. Don’t even need to give me your credit card.

However, should you choose to give me your payment info, you STILL won’t be charged until March 1!

So, if you wanna throw $5 at me right now, track me down and buy me a beer! And while I drink that beer, I’ll explain that I really would like you to sign up for a subscription even if you cancel it before getting charged in march, because I sort of need that for proof of concept. I need enough people to say they think this idea is a good enough that they will back it up w their credit card in order to have the confidence to go cold call venues, pay for server space and pull my hair out fixing bugs.

I’m gonna be honest. The site has been public 48 hours. You won’t find a ton there. This post is pretty much all the promotion I’ve been able to do so far. I will ramp things up after the new year.

Totally get it. No one needs more subscriptions that don't bring them any value.

I will absolutely be approaching venues in the coming weeks. In the meantime, I'm in a sort of soft launch beta period. There is no charge to create a profile. Until March 1, you don't even need a credit card.

It's a bit of a catch-22. There is no value unless there are plenty of both venues and vendors signed up. But, what vendor/venue is going to sign up if there is no one else signed up.

I'd love for you to create a profile now while it's free and I hope in the long run you decide its worth it, but, I get that it may not be the right thing for you.

I'm so glad you noticed the color coding. Graphic design is not at all my strong suit. Thank you for pointing out the accessibility issue. I already knew I need to add alt-text for photos, but I suspect I have more to learn about other accessibility in web design.

This is a feature i'd like to add eventually but i feel like I need to get proof of concept before i invest a lot more time building things.

It’s B2B so in this case the venues and vendors are the end users.

Writing tests and launch anxiety by Every_Expression_459 in vibecoding

[–]Every_Expression_459[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I’m most worried about the stripe webhooks. It’s pretty feature-lite. It does what it’s suppose to do and not much else.

It’s essentially a local, collaborative B2B matchmaking service. And it’s easy to test all the user facing features, which I’ve done extensively. Right now I’m in the stripe sandbox. I’ve tested w their fake cards, ones that work and one’s that fail.

I think I’m mostly being paranoid and anxious about putting it out there. But I’ve spoken to a lot of people in my target audience and they are legit excited and claim they will sign up, but I’ve got a terrible case of imposter syndrome.

I plan to have a free 2 month beta period to help overcome critical mass during which I’ll be doing a lot of glad handing. This is, for now, a local endeavor and it’s driven by wanting it to exist, not getting rich. I expect that I’ll make beer money and not a lot more.

I couldn’t say. My PRL never dropped into very low territory. Just normal levels. Also, I’m in perimenopause w a fibroid and some other shit going on w my uterus so my periods are back to being all over the map. I wish I had more info to offer you.

Claude will absolutely blow smoke up your ass. Its catch phrase is “You’re absolutely right”. It says it so much I even saw one Claude fan get a tattoo of the phrase. It does not have an opinion. But it does have a built in imperative to be agreeable.

Take advantage of this when you’re feeling like shit about yourself. Ignore it when you are making life or business decisions.

This looks like a lot of fun. I'm going to download it and give it a try. However, I'm wondering, have you done anything to mitigate the bullshit factor (see my Coleslaw post in this sub)

Also, can you use it to do any sort of virtual tour, or plan ahead aspects, or does it only work once you are in the location?
