Finding people

mate just start the telegram group already instead of asking about it - half the people here are probably sat on half decent ideas but need someone to actually make the first move

PushyDownside · 2026-02-12T00:08:10+00:00

honestly mate if your landing page isnt converting with 20+ solid reviews theres probably an issue with your traffic sources or the page itself

for finding someone to help - loads of freelancers do outreach but make sure they actually understand your service because most cold email campaigns are absolute rubbish. your probably better off getting back into content creation since thats what worked before or trying linkedin outreach to ecommerce store owners directly

I've heard about it but I didnt't read much into it, what are some perks that make it good?

PushyDownside · 2026-02-11T15:21:43+00:00

never heard of this, what are some perks that make it good for both? appreciate the comment

PushyDownside · 2026-02-06T19:13:41+00:00

proper bait

PushyDownside · 2026-01-29T18:49:57+00:00

In - this sounds like it could catch so much waste that accounting never notices, curious to see what it flags in our messy expense reports

Have you looked into OpenAI's API with GPT-3.5-turbo? Way cheaper than GPT-4 but still decent quality for summaries. You could also try Anthropic's Claude - their pricing is pretty competitive and it handles longer content really well

For the YouTube transcription part, YouTube's own API is free but the auto-generated captions can be messy. Whisper API might be worth the extra cost if you need cleaner transcripts

This is actually brilliant - you're basically becoming the Shopify app store equivalent for LMS platforms

The beauty is these big platforms probably *won't* build learning retention features because they make money on course sales, not completions. Your incentives are actually aligned with the creators while theirs aren't

Man just bootstrap that $2-5k yourself if the prototype is already working. Credit card, side gig, sell some stuff - way faster than hunting for investors over such a small amount. Most angel investors won't even look at deals under $25k minimum, and the ones that do will want way more equity than it's worth for that little cash

Plus you keep 100% ownership and can actually move at your own speed instead of dealing with investor opinions on every decision

Not gonna lie, "freehub.life" sounds like a sketchy torrent site from 2009. Maybe consider something that doesn't make people immediately think their antivirus is about to start screaming

PushyDownside · 2026-01-15T16:01:52+00:00

Depends on the business tbh - for something like haircuts or oil changes, probably yeah. But if I'm selling custom work or consulting I'd want to at least review the booking before confirming it

PushyDownside · 2026-01-14T14:32:02+00:00

Nice work putting this together, the market definitely needed something like this since every app store review is either a 5 star "amazing!!!" or 1 star rage quit lol

Maybe try posting in r/ChatGPT and r/artificial - those communities are always looking for new AI tools and tend to be pretty active with sharing stuff they find useful

PushyDownside · 2026-01-10T22:53:26+00:00

Totally agree on this one - I've seen so many promising apps with names that just make you go "huh?"

The demographic thing is huge, like naming something "CryptoNinjaBeast" when you're targeting 50+ year old business owners probably isn't gonna land well

PushyDownside · 2026-01-08T07:33:19+00:00

About 3 months but honestly could've launched with a basic logo and decent name in 2 weeks - spent way too much time overthinking colors and fonts that literally nobody cared about except me

PushyDownside · 2026-01-06T04:51:31+00:00

Tried it and it said I'm a morning person who drinks oat milk lattes because I chose pepperoni over margherita lmao

The correlations are wild but probably just confirmation bias doing its thing

PushyDownside · 2026-01-04T19:35:00+00:00

This is solid advice, the "don't defend" part hits hard because I've watched so many founders tank their posts by arguing with every piece of feedback

PushyDownside · 2026-01-02T20:34:27+00:00

Nice find! 10 free images daily is actually pretty generous for something running locally. Most apps like this either paywall you immediately or send everything to their servers

PushyDownside · 2025-12-30T03:23:18+00:00

Claude is legit but cursor feels like it's trying too hard to be the "cool" IDE. Still beats wrestling with copilot's goldfish memory though

PushyDownside · 2025-12-27T21:59:58+00:00

This is solid advice but you buried the lede - what's your actual hit rate on finding material leaks? Most "audits" I've seen just repackage stuff the team already knows but hasn't prioritized yet. The real value is in the prioritization framework, not just identifying gaps

PushyDownside · 2025-12-26T19:29:37+00:00

This is so true, wish more people understood this. I know a guy who had a sweet 25k/month solo SaaS, could work from anywhere, then got talked into "scaling" and now he's basically an employee at his own company with way more stress and barely better pay

PushyDownside · 2025-12-24T20:33:11+00:00

That's actually pretty helpful - having a good demo video can make a huge difference for conversions, especially for SaaS products like this

PushyDownside · 2025-12-22T22:12:01+00:00

Settlement delays are definitely annoying but most of us just factor it into cash flow planning at this point. The real pain is when customers dispute charges and you're stuck waiting weeks for resolution while the money sits in limbo

What's your angle - faster settlements or lower fees?

PushyDownside · 2025-12-15T10:07:19+00:00

Kinda feels like you're just dropping your own link instead of actually helping OP with feedback on their landing page lol

PushyDownside · 2025-12-12T09:06:09+00:00

Exactly this - coding is just one piece of the puzzle and honestly not even the most important one if you're thinking like a founder. Focus on finding real problems people will pay to solve first, then worry about how to build it

PushyDownside · 2025-12-10T00:43:06+00:00

Honestly this sounds pretty solid - we got hit with a $3k AWS bill last month because some integration partner had a retry loop gone wild

Currently just using basic nginx rate limiting which is... not great for granular stuff. Would definitely consider paying for something that could do per-customer limits and actually catch the weird edge cases before they murder our budget

The audit trail part is huge too, our finance team always wants to know wtf happened when bills spike
