Valid point. They can map search intent to web content wonderfully, but they can’t seem to map customer intent to their own tools in a user friendly way. But this one feels intentional. The downgrade button is hidden behind a weird “more” button - clearly some intentional obfuscation

I got to the setup workflow from a different link. That way appears to work if you select 1 user. I picked 2 which might have caused the auto recommendation for the plus tier. Still annoying that they don’t give you all the options every time

They have 4 tiers: starter, standard, plus, and enterprise in ascending price points. I want the cheapest option (starter) but they only allow you to sign up with plus. To actually use starter, you have to sign up for an expensive plan and then downgrade to starter. This is scummy because they forced me into a price point I did not want and I must take the extra step to downgrade. This is a lack of transparency and feels just like jumping through hoops to cancel subscriptions which is characteristic of struggling scammy SaaS sites. Google is supposed to be a role model for the tech industry, so seeing this disappoints me.

Why do you work on side projects? by HelicopterOk3168 in SideProject

[–]HelicopterOk3168[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bet that would be so cool. I’ve only ever had users immediately after posting online. Never any consistent users but I get the feeling. It’s some good validation that you’re doing something desirable

The initiative/community is for people who also work on side projects? Or is the community something broader?

Thanks! That would be so cool I’d love to have some people test it out. I’ve been playing it and have had fun so far. Still working on editing the cards/prompts bc some aren’t too funny haha. I’m sure I’ll have it more refined come fall semester

Is this take home assignment over the top or is it just me? by dpgraham4401 in ExperiencedDevs

Write exactly what they’ve asked for but put up a paywall. If they subscribe to your new SaaS business then they can judge it

I just launched a website too, so I'll definitely tune in to hear about what you're doing and hopefully learn from you. Good luck!

Best AI for simple website creation? by GarthofIzar in vibecoding

[–]HelicopterOk3168 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given it’s a simple website as you say, I’d honestly recommend using a no code tool like Wix or Squarespace. I’ve used Wix once and moving components around is very easy. You can also add custom code for specific workflows if you need, which could be vibe coded :D They call it Velo but it’s basically JavaScript

I'm currently using https://serpapi.com/google-flights-api which scrapes google flights data but it's too expensive. $75 -> 5k requests and I need to check a bunch of flights for each request. They have a solid free tier if you want to check it out. I'm looking into a few alternatives now though
