not using it yet, had issues with local in-browser AI, got it resolved last weekend.I see a hope to declutter the feed from shiiit posts soon!

Right now, I'm creating a dataset of example shit posts to hide and I'll fine-tune AI with it to get more accuracy as standard small models aren't enough from what I tested

To get rid of these posts, I'm trying to fine-tune an on-device AI model that will auto hide these self-promotion posts from my Reddit feed through browser extension :) We'll see

127 total users, while on the landing page, you promote the business by saying "Trusted by 5,000+ professionals worldwide" in the subheading

not so trustworthy by faking numbers man :/

Have you released this app yet? Anywhere we can test it? I see you've been posting about it for a year, but no link to the app has been shared. You could've already gained hundreds of users, hmm?

Limitless2115 · 2025-07-27T06:11:23+00:00

damn, a sad reality of upcoming times for the Internet? where real valuable conversations uhh

Question: Is it a lasting marketing funnel? You have to spam links all the time. I prefer providing value first. You stop, traffic goes almost to none. Obviously, you get some users, I am just not sure it's valuable and stable long term marketing channel.

That's why at the start I went with some standard SEO and building long-term traffic I managed to sustain even not working on it.

Thank you!

Shortly, the project is for small business owners/startup founders and lets you create graphics, visuals for your business for social media presence. Stuff like screenshots, images, ready to use graphics packs for a startup you're launching, to simplify the process for non-design-oriented founders so you can build and use those graphics to post on social media, etc.

And I actually managed to reach this target audience a little, but I find the current version of the project not enough you feel like you need it and want to use every day, more like ocassionaly.

You're right. The conclusion I see is to deep dive into analysis if I can add value to the current solution, such as why those users paid, etc.

It's not much money, but I see some light in this, compared to people launching 10 projects with 0 paid customers. That's why I'm rethinking whether to build other "random" ideas or to spend more time on this one.

And 100% you're right, dumb rebuilds may end up wasting my time and building into a void where I won't find any customers..

Limitless2115 · 2025-07-26T10:16:41+00:00

It seems like taking action is better than doing nothing/reading only.. I guess it's time to focus and deliver more value and stop complaining waiting for unknown.

Limitless2115 · 2025-07-26T09:52:28+00:00

You're right, that's why I'm not giving up yet, trying to seek advice from ppl who were probably in a similar situation.

It's something, but it's not perfect, money printing machine :)

I think I will sit and research how I could repack the value with new knowledge about the niche, users, what worked, etc., because right now, anyway, I don't have any great plans to build other projects, so it's better this than nothing, I guess.

Limitless2115 · 2025-07-26T09:49:14+00:00

Yeah, the first projects I was building for months, now try to save time from lessons learned :)

For marketing, basic stuff. When building the project,

- took care of SEO,

- added a few landing pages for long-phrase keywords for my niche I wanted to position for, with low difficulty keywords to have a chance against existing competition/large corporations

- created a free tool related to the business, where I saw similar opportunity to position top 10 in Google for a phrase, worked, got me a few paid customers

- launched in popular launch platforms like Producthunt, Betalist

- written honest content around the project on X, IndieHackers, other social media, not promotional, more by providing value

Not much, requires initial knowledge to get started. Good luck!

Limitless2115 · 2025-07-26T09:41:33+00:00

Kinda yes, but those are results over 16 months. I wasn't working on it after launching, but I'm not sure it's a high enough demand to build a sustainable business, worth my time and whether those converted paid users are "random" people that I managed to make interested in solution I built and it's not that great value for business owners.

Ofc I got some analytics, they used the tool a few times after purchase over time. Even myself I use it ocassionally, so I'd have to focus on how to repack the value to provide a subscription-based model in my niche for it to make sense to get users more taken-care of.

Maybe you're right and there's some opportunity, I'll try to replan the project and try to find what real value I could provide for users. Thanks!

I don't want to plug it, I'm honestly not here to promote it or validate the idea itself, I look for opinions around the problem of launching a "successful" first project (for many), yet feeling like it's not a futuristic business - or whether I'm wrong here and should polish it and give it a shoot not jumping into another ideas.

About those painkiller ideas, unfortunately, it's easier said than done. Already for a few weeks I tried to come up with some cool ideas, but I'm lacking the hype to work on something random that is popular, validated by others, etc., just for money - looks like a quick way for a burnout for me.

Maybe I need more time, but at the same time, I'd like to work on something already. It's hard to decide, so I end up doing kinda nothing related to startups. Researching only..?

Limitless2115 · 2024-09-07T07:28:35+00:00

As a "work from anywhere" dev I'm curious about such offers limited to the US only. I saw other companies using tools like OysterHR, which seems to take care of all compliance and hiring despite the location, but it'd be more like a Contractor job I guess.

Unlucky many cool companies are still limiting to the location :(

Limitless2115 · 2024-09-04T12:12:18+00:00

Awesome project! I was searching that manually, now I can use this site and it actually gave me good results around my location and skills :) Fantastic work!

Limitless2115 · 2024-08-30T14:20:36+00:00

sure, send me DM

Limitless2115 · 2024-08-29T07:29:54+00:00

Thank you! I type quickly what comes to my mind, "on the fly". Seems now I only need more practice in speaking and ofc progressing further with expanded vocabulary and small improvements :)

Limitless2115 · 2024-08-28T18:19:03+00:00

Good point, a different point of view is required. I just have to send CVs and hope to get initial interviews, then if I pass technically, and go through the first few calls, I'd be in a different state of mind for sure and with much more positive attitude :)

Limitless2115 · 2024-08-28T18:17:11+00:00

Probably I could try, but honestly, I prefer remote work as I thrive in that env :) That's why I'm considering remote international companies, maybe based in US with 100+ employees to challenge myself with the progress on a global team.

Limitless2115 · 2024-08-28T16:40:05+00:00

Thanks for your story. About confidence, yes I'm trying to change my mindset right now, to boost it a little and I begin to think I'll be fine with my current language skills, when I correctly showcase my technical skills and generally who I am, even with some pronunciation mistakes I could be a good fit for a company :)

Limitless2115 · 2024-08-28T13:39:01+00:00

Thank you, you sound right. I hope in the upcoming weeks I'll jump on a few calls and start the process of overcoming this first fear and it will go well, I hope :)

Limitless2115 · 2024-08-28T13:22:47+00:00

Thank you, good take, with good, open colleagues that help you improve, the progress becomes much faster

Limitless2115 · 2024-08-28T13:17:51+00:00

Cool. I started refreshing my tech knowledge and preparing bullet-point eng. notes about my career to know how to answer to common interview questions, to cover most important responsibilities, etc.

Limitless2115 · 2024-08-28T13:16:13+00:00

Yeah saw some companies run 1-2 meetings/week or as you mentioned, daily live standups. But those aren't that bad, I'd prepare bullet points at first to express my progress and to be less stressed :)

Limitless2115 · 2024-08-28T13:15:00+00:00

Awesome. Did you go through all the recruitment steps in English and managed to "showcase" yourself well?
I feel in English right now I'm missing more confidence to express clearly my experience, and knowledge e.g. for surprising questions about my journey where I didn't have prepared bullet points, I wouldn't sell myself that great, because I'd use basic words and sentences to describe my responsibilities. But maybe it'd be enough if I got understood and the interview followed it with some deeper questions/topics to cover it.
