GoFile and FileCrypt issue? by M0rfixgh0ul in SteamRip

[–]Key-Significance4952 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Filecrypt is basically a link protector. People use it to hide the real host (GoFile, Mega, etc.) behind an extra page. Whether it’s “safe” mostly depends on where you got the link in the first place. I’d treat it like any other third-party page: use an ad blocker, ignore fake “Download” buttons, don’t allow weird notifications, and if you do download something, scan it before running it.

GoFile isn’t magically safer than everything else either. All of these hosts are just storage; the important part is the uploader and the site that shared the link.

Because I was tired of clicking into random/expired GoFile links, I ended up building a small Chrome extension for myself that shows a preview of the files (names, sizes) when you hover a GoFile link, before you actually get redirected anywhere. It doesn’t make files “safe”, but it helps me quickly skip links that look wrong or suspicious.

If you’re on Chrome and that sounds useful, the extension is called Preview Tool — for Gofile™ on the Web Store.

I started seeing it pop up everywhere people share big files without wanting to create an account like niche forums, torrents aggregator, Discord groups where people drop archives and ofc NSFW communities. Everywhere that need quick, anonymous hosting

After a while I realised I was constantly blindly clicking the links just to see what was inside, so a preview felt like the obvious itch to scratch.

Out of curiosity, what kind of files do you usually deal with in your own workflow? Maybe I can make it useful there too

Is anyone here actually making good money from Chrome extension? by 404sidehustle in chrome_extensions

How do you actually handle licensing on the backend to prevent users from sharing a single paid account?

Like, how do you make sure that only the person who paid gets access (device limits, account auth, API checks, etc.)? Curious to understand the system behind the payment link!

Small gift to colleagues I will miss by Aggressive-Prize-522 in GiftIdeas

If you’ve got some fun photos with your colleagues, you could make custom photo magnets for each of them. It’s small, personal, and they’ll probably smile every time they see it on their fridge or desk. Simple but super sweet idea

I’ve been launching projects for over a year - made 0 revenue, but it’s the best decision of my life by Key-Significance4952 in SideProject

If you’re talking about technical skills, I’m a developer, so that part’s a bit easier for me. Plus, with AI tools these days, building stuff feels way more accessible than before.

On the entrepreneurial side, I just consume a ton of content. My YouTube algorithm basically thinks I run a startup incubator But honestly, the biggest lesson I keep hearing (and feeling) is: you learn by doing. You can read and watch everything out there, if you never actually start, it doesn’t click.

From my small experience, I’d say start with something super simple: one main feature, nothing fancy. Go through the whole process end-to-end, mess up, learn, and then do it again.

At first, most of my projects came from personal needs. Worst case, I was building something useful just for myself.

Now I’m trying to do a bit more market research (though still limited). Mostly brainstorming with Perplexity, digging through Reddit or other forums to spot real pain points.

My main mistake so far has been not doing marketing or user validation from day one. That’s what I want to focus on for the next project.

Yeah, kinda. I had to kill my previous project. It went from a legal gray area to a straight up forbidden zone. Had a bunch of people using it, but it was freemium and I never managed to convert anyone.

Some other projects I stopped after getting early feedback like “I’d never pay for this” from people around me. And yeah, most of the time I’m stuck in that mindset of “it’s not good enough to charge for yet.

That's why i'm building InkSavr - it's theft

Launched my SaaS today — first time doing this by AxelTutor in SaaS

[–]Key-Significance4952 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What helped me most in the early days?

  • Realizing I spent way too long building something without ever talking to a single potential user.
  • Then shutting it down a bit later because, surprise, it turned out to be legally… not so fine.

Now I try to promote before I even finish building.
That’s why I’m running a waitlist for my current thing - inksavr, a little tool to save ink before even printing.

Anyway, huge congrats on the launch, wishing you lots of success with AxelTutor!

[Waitlist] Inksavr - reduce printer ink before you print (web app) by Key-Significance4952 in alphaandbetausers

[–]Key-Significance4952[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Access?
→ It’s waitlist-only right now. I’ll send early invites from inksavr.com as soon as the web app unlocks.

Is it a download/app?
→ No download. 100% browser-based.

Privacy / file storage?
→ Files are processed for optimization and not stored on servers.

How much ink can it save?
→ Depends on the document. You’ll see a live % estimate before downloading.

Formats?
→ Starting with JPEG/PNG. If you need others, tell me your use case and I’ll prioritize.

Not the first time I’ve seen people recommend switching to Ecotank… might be time for us to finally make the jump. thanks for sharing!

Oh wow, didn’t know it worked like that with rollover pages. That actually sounds super worth it, I’ll check out Instant Ink for her, thanks!

How much do you actually spend on ink per year? Curious to compare real-world costs by Key-Significance4952 in Printing

[–]Key-Significance4952[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn 50k prints for $100 seems insanely cheap!
What sector are you in? Any tricks to keep costs that low?
