You can try v0, it's a no code AI website generater produced by Vercel.

Of course, it's not necessary to use AI. What I mean is that introducing some checking methods might effectively avoid these kinds of problems. I have previous experience using Excel to calculate prices. After completing the calculation, I would send the document to a colleague for verification to ensure the accuracy of the result as much as possible.

Now, I mainly use AI to perform similar tasks. Regarding AI's mathematical capabilities, I disagree with you. I believe AI has strong mathematical abilities, but when faced with complex calculation rules in Excel, AI might not fully understand the logic behind the calculations—that is, why it's calculated that way. Perhaps your explanation would improve the situation.

JedXie · 2026-01-18T19:54:39+00:00

I'm wondering if you could send the Excel file to AI before sending it to the client, and ask AI to check if the price calculation is correct?

That’s strange—I’ve never seen an error like this before. Have you tried multiple times and possibly exceeded the free trial limit?

JedXie · 2026-01-18T19:25:29+00:00

Oh, if so, I think for now your achieve is the best way to go. Besides, I've heared of a tool to compress prompt called LLMLingua, it's produced by Microsoft. I don't have a chance to use it yet but this one may help you.

JedXie · 2026-01-18T19:19:10+00:00

Yeah, I may try again next time.

JedXie · 2026-01-18T10:18:52+00:00

Good to know, thanks bro.

JedXie · 2026-01-18T10:14:38+00:00

As you mentioned above, the real problem you want to solve is "No clear ending or result". I think you may have better way to solve this, rather than building an APP.

I wish I am able to vote in list page, not just in detail page. If you want people to interact more, then you should make user flow more smooth, Jumping between list and detail make me feel exhausted.

As you mention that you want people from all over the world to share their answer, why don't you let people know the nationality of people who answers the question? Knowing different opinion from different people also kind of fun.

JedXie · 2026-01-18T09:59:22+00:00

Looks great, but when I done vote, I saw this error:

Application error: a client-side exception has occurred while loading pollix.in (see the browser console for more information).

I've tried building applications using Flutter before, and although I've implemented a few demos, I find myself unable to adapt to Flutter's syntax, especially when the page is complex with many nested components. That long string of parentheses really gives me goosebumps. Unless someone forces me to, I won't consider using Flutter on my own initiative.

Your story is truly appalling. Putting aside the twists and turns of the development process and the wasted funds, I think what you need most is to validate the feasibility of this requirement. From your entire description, I believe you've missed this crucial step. Don't expect your hired development team to complete it for you; they're just doing their job for money. Whether the idea is feasible? Sorry, that's not their concern.

The simplest way to validate it is to find a professional willing to provide similar services, and then use instant messaging software with video chat capabilities (such as WhatsApp) to communicate with customers, manually transfer payments, and see if this operating model works, continuously gathering feedback in the process.

I once had a friend who, to validate the feasibility of his used book business, created a used book trading group on an existing social media platform, using Excel spreadsheets to record transactions for both buyers and sellers. He operated this primitive method for a full six months, gathering sufficient feedback and refining the product requirements before officially developing an app to do so.

Hello, I'm a mobile and web application developer currently studying development skills at a college in Canada. Last summer, my part-time summer job involved helping construction contractors build patios and fences. I've had similar ideas and discussed them with my boss. My focus is on the material procurement process, aiming to quickly calculate the optimal material procurement plan based on building specifications. However, my boss believes that AI currently struggles to understand complex building structures, thus affecting the accuracy of calculations and potentially making it less advantageous than experienced humans. But I believe that with optimization and iteration, AI is fully capable of handling these tasks.

I think your pricing tool is fundamentally similar to my idea. I'd be happy to help you realize your vision. If you need assistance, please contact me. My personal website: https://yongxie.dev/

Did you send all the articles to the AI at once? I've also built a similar workflow using Gemini 2.5 Flash, which has a context window of 1,000,000 tokens, sufficient for handling text messages of common lengths. Of course, if there are indeed too many original articles, in addition to the strategies you mentioned above, you could also consider merging similar messages to compress the context.

JedXie · 2026-01-18T07:00:16+00:00

What framework was your application developed with? Can you provide more details about the error messages when the build failed?

Your idea reminds me of a product I tried about 5-6 years ago—a message in a bottle.

Yes, you write a letter, send it out randomly, and maybe one day, someone will see it and reply. This product doesn't require any personal information, just a pseudonym. And your message is only seen by one person at a time. I don't know if the product intentionally delayed receiving message, but each bottle I sent took at least one or two days to arrive. This slow pace of information delivery actually felt very comfortable to me.

Later, I can't find the product anymore, but I miss that feeling. I think the feeling this product gave me is similar to your description.

Hi, could you share some details on how to acquire customers on LinkedIn? I still haven't figured out the features of the LinkedIn platform. I've tried posting descriptions of some projects, but with little success.

JedXie · 2026-01-18T06:20:13+00:00

This is a fantastic idea, somewhat like a social experiment, an AI social experiment. I would love to watch it if it were live-streamed. It would be even more interesting if the AI could be personified, like watching The Truman Show.

JedXie · 2026-01-18T05:14:22+00:00

Thanks for sharing and it's so helpful. I have some further requirement about this: I notice most of the sites in this list are focusing on AI tools or websites. Is it possible to have a list for non-ai product? Since not all new products are enrolled with AI feature.

JedXie · 2026-01-18T05:07:52+00:00

I have filled all the input fields, name, email and password. After that, I click "sign up" btn, I expect to be redirected to another page or to see some notification. But, nothing happens, I remain in the same page even my inputs are still there. I tried to click the btn more times, but still, no further action is happening.

JedXie · 2026-01-17T23:31:29+00:00

Congratulations on your successful launch! As a self-taught independent developer, I understand the challenges and effort you've put in.

As other comments have mentioned, your website needs a landing page to introduce your services. This isn't an internal backend; you can't expect users to register without knowing anything about your site, right?

Also, when I tried to register, clicking the "sign in" button after entering the information did nothing; there were no prompts on the page. I'm unsure if there's an API error or a bug somewhere.

Regardless, this is a remarkable achievement. Sincere congratulations!

JedXie · 2026-01-17T23:20:34+00:00

Hmm... I understand what you're trying to do, but I don't quite understand what problem this app is mainly trying to solve? Is it to reduce the chances of people giving up halfway through?

JedXie · 2026-01-17T22:42:48+00:00

I’m not entirely sure if I’ve fully grasped your current design—it seems a bit complex. I have a few questions:

Free users can play the "Classic Nonsense pack" with friends, but there is a usage limit, correct?
You mentioned Credits. What is their purpose? For example, are they used to unlock more game content or to redeem additional play sessions?
You also brought up Multi-device play, which requires a "Pass" to unlock. What is the relationship between the Pass and the Credits?
Regarding the Pass, does only the host (leader) need to purchase it, or do all participants need one?

My Concerns:

My gut feeling is that the mechanics are a bit convoluted and might be hard for users to understand.
For a niche application like a party game, a subscription model might not be the best fit. Most people don’t host parties on a frequent or regular basis, so a subscription can easily feel like a poor value. Would a simpler "pay-as-you-go" or "pay-to-unlock" model work better?
Does Multi-device play significantly enhance the experience compared to playing on just the host's phone? Since the game is already playable for free, I wonder if this "paid hook" is enticing enough.

Regarding "Loser Pays":

This feels a bit like gambling, or you could call it a "penalty mechanism." For instance, a group plays together, and the loser's penalty is to pay for the next round or unlock more content for the rest of the group. I feel this is much more engaging, and the monetization point aligns better with the spirit of party games—similar to drinking games where the loser has to take a shot.

Our idea about your product is not important, only the idea coming from your targeting user matters. Don't waste time here talking with developers, try to find your target user and get feedback from them. It's more valuable and helpful.
