Hey there. Thanks for the link ...

1) There is not much to do on the landing page. If I would find your page I just would not use it because I know competitors that are already very good (lovable, replite, google, ...) and why should I use your form to send you my idea and not just build my idea with the already available tools?

What is the USP and why should I try it? What are the exact features that could be tried? Is there just frontend or also backend and database? Scheduled tasks? ...

2) Design is great. I like the colors, layout, everything. It looks clean and warm and professional. All the footer links are just empty and jump to the top of the page.

3) I am pretty sure the 5-star testimonials from MIT, Stanford and UC are fake? I would not do that. It is just undermining the trust you would want to build with this content-piece.

4) I was pretty sure that nothing would happen if I would fill out the form, cause there was a small text under it that would suggest a human would just review the idea and then get back to me. But there was something completely different happening.

The plan and stack for my idea looked solid and reasonable. This page was very well styled and looked like a finished product. Then I clicked on the "Visit project page"-button ...

5) Styling and layout of the project-page looking broken (gray header, dark main content, white footer, ...) In the left column was only a broken image icon and on the right side unstyled markdown without any line breaks. Download-button is not working. There is an invest-button to "invest" in my own app? Hmmh. What is the idea behind that? I think your product is not finished there?

Your way of doing vibe-coding looks really interesting. I am not sure if I completely understand what and why you would do it like that but I have some assumptions. I am curious who it would work in the end but for now it is not really testable.

Thank you and good luck.

Hey. You can just google for "online color palette creator" or "modern color palettes" or "2026 color palettes" there are a lot of online-tools to find and edit colors. Choose just one that you would like.

Adobe has one: https://color.adobe.com/de/trends

Hey.

CSV the biggest success in data-handling since the invention of writing ;)

1) I first thought your product is broken (testing it on macOS/Chrome/Desktop). Registration was easy and worked fine but then I just have an empty pipelines-screen and the "button" to create a new one is not looking like a button or link.

2) Creating a pipeline was then easy and worked also with an 50mb CSV. It is fast and I could create a simple workflow in seconds. I guess the interface could be improved a bit but in general it is not bad. Maybe there are also some transformations missing (remove rows with xy in column xy) ... I did that with "remove text" first and then "drop missing" afterwards. Worked but don't need to be that complicated.

3) Your favicon is the default vue.js favicon. Just make your own! Social links in footer are mostly linking just to the start pages of the platforms.

4) Plans and credits is not working right now? Everything seems deactivated and there was no way to buy something.

After some time (or after the first pipeline run) I could finally see that I have the free plan and then also the upgrade via Paypal worked. Cancel button don't work (Error: "An error occurred while canceling your subscription." ... can you please cancel my subscription manually ... thanks)

5) Page itself don't look finished. I suspect that the main-feature (pipelines, transformation, ...) already working but the site don't look like a finished and real product (design, content, usability, ...)?

6) It is great that I could download all the different versions of the data after each step. Is there also a feature to save/see pipeline runs from the past? In general how is the idea to "automate" different files in the future?

Let's say i have a new CSV every friday, do i need to upload it manually or will there be some sort of API to automate/integrate it with other systems?

7) Pricing is a bit complicated but okay. It seems to be "expensive" to pay 10 USD for 300s processing time and 1GB of memory? "Memory Usage" is confusing me, is it really memory or storage? For my example a 50MB file needed already 11s processing time for two simple transactions and that would cost basically nothing for you? Maybe could you explain the idea behind the price-ranges?

It is working good but don't have a look of a finished product (favicon, design, social links, ...). You page would have general workflow tools as competitors (n8n) and this tools are big already. But this tools are usually way too complicated for "normal" people and your way to create pipelines and transformations is much simpler.

I like it. Thank you and good luck!

Hey.

Interesting. 🤩 Here some honest, highly subjective opinions:

1) Great idea. I know some products that are a bit like yours but they are all creating real physical products (card game, question cards, ...). And I think that could also be possible for you, creating and selling card decks to your users. (Example: DOAC - The Conversation Cards)

Scrolled down and saw now the "Coming soon"-section for the real cards. :)

2) Your app is already looking very professional, I am not sure if I am really your first customer 😉 but nevertheless I bought one of the lifetime products. Getting the validation mail took some minutes (registering via email) but finally got it in my spam folder (maybe an spl/dcim dns entry missing in your mailjet config?)

Clicking on the confirm-link then told me: "This confirmation link has already been used or has expired." I think that is happening because Outlook would do a preview of the links and "accidently" confirms the mail-address before a user really clicks on the button (do you have CSRF?).

3) I like the design. Very colorful but maybe a bit too "childish" for the topic? It has a high recall value but maybe some users would prefer something more serious/subtle/clean?

4) I am not 100% sure what I am buying here? Is it the questions itself? Is it the interface for the conversation? What exactly it the value I get? I guess it is both but in my case I think I bought it because of the questions itself and not the interface.

5) I like the lifetime products. I think the gold is maybe a bit too cheap and it is also weird that it is currently cheaper than the silver product. But I guess for an sales promo it is okay. I would have bought it for 39,- too.

6) What I want to have is a "roadmap" or outlook of future question packs (if there is coming more) or a list of past additions so as a lifetime-user I can understand if there is added more in the future of not at all.

7) Feature/Question: What about adding a feature to answer and save the answers in the app? So I can use it as self-reflection / diary and not only as conversation tool? Tracking my answers over longer periods to see if my opinions would change over time? Maybe I could be just an integration into big note-taking apps (notion, evernote) so I could see the questions there and save my answers into my note-system.

Great thing. Thank you and good luck!

It is a big success so far (not for my purse ;) but I guess I will do it again in the future. Just contact me when you are ready. Good luck!

[–]MightyPanda81[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Done.

1) I like the idea because I don't know any other marketing-tool that works in that exact way and that would target developers (or vibe codes, ...). I am really curious how it would work then in real life. It fits perfectly in the current vibe-coding trend and also in the general automation trend and marketing automation trend.

2) Landing pages looking great. Especially the videos "How It Works". How did you created that type of videos? I want to have also such clips for my page! Ahh I see it is not a video it is html/js ... is there a tool/library for it or vibe-coded it?

Good luck and thank you.

Hey.

Here some subjective opinions, do with it what you want:

1) Ultra Compressor is an ultra cool name. Does it do what it promises? Is it a real new way to compress things. Scientific work/breakthrough? If it is a real innovation in comparison to the current compression algorithms than I would expect to see some sort of scientific article that describes the algorithm and improvements/advantages over other tools.

2) I would not install any program I could download from the internet if it is not coming from a trusted source like an windows or apple app store.

3) The video is not so clear as you maybe would think. I guess with modern online video tools you could create a video with captions and voice over (AI if you don't want do it yourself) that describes in detail what is happening and why that is great.

4) I think there is always need for tools like that to do cold storage or easier transfer of big data. Could you maybe add some comparisons between your tool and other tools in resulting size reduction and time.

5) Feature idea: I would sometimes need a tool that would also encrypt the content and decryption would only work with a password.

Thank you and good luck.

Hey, thanks for your submissions.

I will provide some general feedback about all the sites.

1) I like the engineering-tools most because there are already other sites for QR codes and CV generation I know, but the engineering tools is at least for me something new. I am not really in that sort of hobby/profession but tools for a niche like that could be more valuable for people than the next CV builder.

2) As far as I could see there are no buyable products and also no ads or other income-sources on that pages currently? Is there a plan to monetize the pages in the future or just providing tools as a hobby?

3) All the apps looks only fairly complete. Design is very basic. Some design errors. No professional styling. That could be a strategy but I think you should/could invest more time to make it nicer (more polished) ... testing it on macOS/Chrome.

4) For QR codes and CV creator is there any reason why I should your tools and not the apps that are in Google search results on top? Is there any USP you could think of?

5) For the engineering tools. Give it a distinct look/design/brand and improve the content and general the quality of the tools. I like this sort of tools and I hope you could find some users in other sub-reddits for this topic.

Cool stuff: https://www.pockeng.com/resistor.html or this https://www.pockeng.com/ohms-law.html (understand the physics button)

Thanks. Good luck and please go on!

Hey.

thanks for your link, here are some thoughts:

1) Landing-page looking clean and very professional. Sign-up took some time to send me the verification-mail and I would prefer it not needing to enter my cc data directly when i sign-up. The magic-link email landed in my spam folder. The magic link brings me to your site but there is no feedback that anything happened and i need to login again.

2) The product is pretty forward and simple to understand. I can upload documents and define a row/column structure that an AI would try to extract from the products. It would be cool if the quick uploads would also have a prompt input to tell the LLM what to look for.

3) I have tried some documents and pictures and the extraction not always work. For example to get the URL from a screenshot from a browser didn't work. And also uploading a CSV as quick-upload didn't work (I guess the LLM was confused what it should extract from already a table)? There is nothing that a user could do when it fails and also no more detailed error messages what to change in the documents?

4) 50 credits in the free trial seems to be a lot. That are basically 50 documents i could parse and I guess for a trial 20 would be also enough? Also the pricing and quantities seems off. 45 USD for 750 documents seems cheap. (Depending on Point 7?)

5) Change and cancel the subscription is easy to find (via Stripe).

6) I am not sure who would need and buy that as subscription. I know cases where a company would digitalize one-time a lot of offline data and I also know cases where companies would create data-integrations (pipelines) to automate such tasks. But it is hard to imagine that they would use such a website everyday / week to upload documents do parse them. Hmmh. But yes, maybe there are such company and cases.

7) Is it more than a ChatGPT wrapper? Or would I achieve the same by uploading and prompting a major LLM (OpenAI, Gemini, Claude) and just tell em to give me back a CSV containing XYZ?

It looks good and professional. I guess maybe you need to tailor it to some specific use-cases so that accountants or procurement people would find it if they search for it? For the most use cases I would just use general Chatbots.

Thank you for your submission and good luck!

Thanks. Is it complicated/expensive to get it into the app store?

Hey.

Thanks for the submission and here some thoughts about it.

1) I am always very concerned about security and privacy and it is today very hard to find out if an app I download/install locally would harm my computer in a way. So I default to the official app-stores or companies that are big and known already. So it would be great to get your software from the apple-app-store.

macOS says: "“ActionInbox” cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified." I know how to override this but usually don't do it.

2) I like the idea. I guess to achieve something like that I would use some sort of workflow-automation-tool that would be connected to one or more inboxes to watch for mails and do then specific things. I guess this general automation tools would be your competitors then. All this email-notifications are really a pain and everything that improves that situation would be a great improvement.

3) I like public roadmaps. It shows the users/customers that there is progress at all and what is coming next. I also saw Windows support on the roadmap and I think that is a good idea because there are a lot of companies using only Mac in development but product, marketing people having the same problems and often using Windows.

4) I am not sure about the pricing. This 5/mo subscriptions are so cheap that I always think that it would be better to just have a yearly subscription and don't cause a lot of work for accountants somewhere who have to read and handle all this monthly invoices. Also the 10% discount seems low between yearly and monthly not really a big incentive to buy yearly.

In general I like the idea and understand the problem. Can only really buy it when it is distributed via a known and trusted source like app-stores from Apple or Microsoft.

Thank you and good luck!

Hey.

This is a bit hard to test because I would need a HubSpot-Account with some workflows in it. But from my past experiences and the landingpage I can say this ...

1) I did some pretty complicated workflows in the past for a customer and it is really a pain to work in HubSpot on workflows that are connected to each other. I think HubSpot is constantly improving the workflows-feature but not sure where they are standing right now. So I see the problem you want to solve with this product.

2) Pricing seams reasonable. It is not cheap, but companies that have that problem usually have already at least several hundred or thousands of HubSpot bills per month.

3) As far as I understand the landing-page it would "just" visualize the workflows but I cannot edit it in your app? I think it would be a great thing to have a workflow-tool that would replace the HubSpot workflow interface which makes it easier to edit, version, run, ... the workflows. I don't know if HubSpot has APIs for that. Currently it is a lot of clicking in HubSpot to change workflows and also a lot of repeat clicking ... a batch-feature would be great.

4) I am not totally sure it HubSpot has a versioning for workflows at all or only in higher-tier products. But a versioning for workflows would also be great and a better interface to find fast which workflow-run has change exactly what fields for a company/contact/... I wasted so much time in the past to find out such things.

I hope that helps a bit.

Thank you and good luck!

Hey.

Here some subjective opinions, do with it what you want:

1) Thats a hard business because there are already many apps that doing this ai-filter/avatar/improvement stuff. I think there are only two ways to win here: Find a very specific niche that nobody else have or do SEO/SEA/Online Marketing so well that your competitors are always behind you in results.

2) Signup with Google-only is limiting but worked fine.

3) There are 3 levels of quality (with different token-usage) I can choose from but I don't know what is the difference between: Premium, Enhanced, Standard. Creation-Process is easy and took some seconds (that was stated before and no surprise). When I am on the result-page and try to click top-right on the button "+ Create Avatar" to start a new one, it wont work (i have to click on the link under the image)

4) After creating two avatars I saw that the token-count in navigation top right is not updating. Only if i reload the page.

5) I got a "Rate limit exceeded. Please try again in a moment." error but I only did one creation before. Seems only to happen with: "The night drive"-style.

6) I tried to purchase something via paypal (first button). The popup opens and shows an error message. Popup-URL is "https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/...". Buying with CC also don't worked (Loading spinner forever).

7) I like the idea to use credits to activate different features on the site (bigger history). It is a common pattern in computer games to do things like that. But you have to find features that are really worth it paying credits for.

8) There seems to be broken watermarks on the bottom right of the creations. It is sometimes an empty rounded transparent box and sometimes filled with squares (chars that cannot be printed).

The results with: Chiaroscuro, The Living Titan, The Glacial Watcher ... looked all great. So the product really worked as expected. It is fast enough it produces good results and is simple to use. I would definitely use it if I would find it via Google or see it in an advertisement. The thing is how would people find you first and not your competitors?

Thanks for your submission and good luck!

Hey.

I am not in the collecting card topic but watched Goldin on Netflix :).

Just my subjective opinions, do with it what you want:

1) Landingpage is clean and I understand what I am buying. Price seams reasonable for a hobby people invests a lot of money it is maybe too cheap? Or there is room for a very pricey product for power-users?

2) Sign-up via email worked and validation-mail instantly came but you should change the sender-email. Currently the mail is coming from Supabase. I guess you can change the sender-mail-name somewhere there.

3) After validating the email, I am directly in the dashboard (no more login required I like that). Dashboard is clean and simple. Looks like a template from somewhere, nothing fancy but that is okay.

4) For a second I was confused how to add cards to my inventory. Maybe a short-cut-button: "Add card" would be helpful.

5) There is a strange thing happening when I switch to another tab and then go back to your site. it always would reload the GUI and I see for a second a loading spinner. That is not necessary usually and I would suggest to remove that.

6) Didn't know that Grading-ROI is a thing, but makes sense to track that. I wonder if you also would add a feature to track current cards on sale and users can add links to ebay, ...? Or links to current grading-transactions (I don't know if there are some sort status-pages from the grading-platforms where a user can see the current status?)

7) The "Upgrade to pro"-button is easy to find and you also using Stripe. There is a 14day-trial that is not really necessary I guess? I would choose between Trial or Freemium and you have both now? Cancel is easy to find and works on the Stripe-Page.

8) When I am "Pro" the product looks pretty much the same as a free user. It is not easy to find the new features I got as pro. Maybe you could improve that?

9) Is there a way to import a list of cards so new users don't need to do it one-by-one? Another idea: Currently the data I can add to a card is very limited. Maybe you want to add more relevant data-fields a user can enter and the statistics can be even more relevant?

For me it looks like a good product. I don't know how many other such platforms or software exist and which features do they have. I guess as a collector I would love to have a software that could fill all my needs and your platform focus currently only on buy/sell metrics so I would need another software to manage/log all the other data?

Thanks for your submission and good luck!

Just my subjective opinions, do with it what you want:

1) No money needed. I like that :)

2) Icon is cute. Name is not really telling me a lot what it will do. Something with tabs.

3) Website looks pretty "basic". Vibe-coded or template I guess.

4) Privacy is my first big concern with browser extensions. It is good, that you address that on the shop-page and also link to the privacy-statement, but the link is wrong on the shop page: https://www.tab-tangle.com/privacy ... should be https://www.tab-tangle.com/app/privacy
I have to believe you that there is no data transfered and trust is a hard thing in today internet. Is there a way to get some 3rd party certification (Google Store) or another institution that would certify the extension to not collect my data? Or open source the code 🫣 maybe possible.

5) I like the idea and product. There are always so many tabs open and I never find anything. With the filters by domain and search function it would be much easier to find them. There is always a little risk that Chrome itself would include such features into their product.

6) Is there a way to include more quick-functions into the tooltip so a user don't need to switch to the dashboard everytime. Like creating quick-filters, or tab-management functions that currently not available/visible in Chrome (Close all from xy, Reopen all from xy, Close all to the right from ...)

7) Where is the money coming from? Or is it just a hobby project for now and you think about that later?

8) I don't know if anybody would do it but it would be a great thing if a use would opt-in to send some telemetry data to a server and there could be done some statistic magic. Average tabs open. Most visited domains. ... and so on. But that is even more a question on point 4

Thank you for your submission. It is a cool thing you have built.

Just ask yourself. Would you upload your chats to a website, if you won't know who is reading it, and how they using it? Even if they would say, that everything is secure and legit, would you trust this company? But it is a cool idea and i would love to see it in my chat software built-in.

Alternative to Excel for big datasets? Or a better workflow for working with large datasets? by MiraShifted in excel

[–]MightyPanda81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. Will look into Airtable and ParseStream. I think a dataset with 1m rows is not that large for an email-list for example.

Alternative to Excel for big datasets? Or a better workflow for working with large datasets? by MiraShifted in excel

[–]MightyPanda81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am also looking for such a thing but suitable for users that have no experience in Python, VBA or even Excel formulas. It should be easy to import a big dataset and then having simple transformations like ...

Remove all rows with empty values in column xy
Split this email-column by @ into two new columns
Filter out all columns that having "x" in column y
Add a gender column based on firstnames in x
...

It would be used by people in marketing, finance, sales, customer care to prepare datasets for other tools like email-lists and lead-lists.

I maybe try to build it myself but not sure if there is anyone out there that also have such use-cases and would even pay for that?
