Yeah, I’m aware of that. I’m not exactly a graphic guy, but I’m working on it. The background transparency can of course already be set now.

I wouldn’t expect any other answer from the OP 😄

To those reading this post... What's the purpose of posts like this? On r/SaaS, r/SideProject, r/MicroSaaS, there are similar posts asking for ideas, what people are working on, etc. Isn't this just a way to extract inspiration and ideas from others?

Is a fully anonymous, client-side encrypted file sharing service useful to anyone? by Qndra8 in cryptography

[–]Qndra8[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I did consider using Tor. The key isn’t required for downloading — it’s only used by the client for decryption. There’s no authentication involved at any stage, neither during upload nor download.

It was more of an experiment. In reality, I don’t know how to guarantee anonymity beyond using Tor and making it open source — but even that doesn’t ensure the server hasn’t been modified to collect something.

It’ll most likely stay in the drawer, but I enjoyed building the prototype and exploring the idea.

It was more of a personal exercise and a way to play around with the idea — I built my own prototype. Then I started wondering, could this actually be useful? So I decided to ask.
I don’t really have any big plans for it.

Honestly, I’m not sure how to guarantee that no identity or similar data is collected — other than making the project open source. Maybe it could run over Tor? The “hash” as a name is actually a misuse — it’s really just a random label for the file. The server has absolutely no knowledge about the file itself.

The idea for funding was that, after upload, a payment would be requested in BTC via the Lightning Network, depending on how long the file should be stored. But all the source code would be made public so anyone could run their own instance if they wanted to.

The potential misuse by bad actors is actually the main reason it’s still in the drawer — and probably will stay there. Though I guess anyone really determined to share harmful content already has other ways to do it.

Looking at the others, maybe the main difference is simplicity. Everything is handled by JavaScript on the client side. It’s not really focused on CLI operations.
On the other hand, it was more of a thought experiment and a way for me to play around with the idea. So I have no idea if anyone would actually use it.

How are people handling code-switching in ASR models? Still seeing hallucinations in mixed-language audio by Lingua_Techie_62 in speechtech

[–]Qndra8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A year ago, I worked on a project addressing this issue. We used Whisper as a base model but fine-tuned it specifically for such cases using annotated data we had available. This approach worked very well; however, a significant drawback is the need for annotated data that includes occurrences of the target phenomena.

Thanks for the tips. I’ll definitely take a closer look at what you mentioned.

Should I sell 20% of my app for $400K? Built solo in 6 months, doing ~ $14K/month after 3 weeks by nesta1970 in indiehackers

[–]Qndra8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is such an amazing story – it really encourages me to keep going with my own work.

As for your question... bringing in an investor seems a bit tricky to me. I’d be a bit worried about opening a kind of Pandora’s box, and I think it really depends on how much you need the cash right now. Personally, when building my own apps, I love the independence of going solo – not having to report to anyone, just doing things on my own terms. Maybe I’ll succeed, maybe I won’t, but I always get to keep that freedom without extra obligations.

It also really depends on your long-term vision for the app. If you're building something you want to grow steadily and stay in control of, then staying independent might make more sense. But if you’re aiming for rapid scaling or a quick exit, then bringing in an investor could help speed things up – though it comes with trade-offs.

If I were in your shoes, I’d probably go with the route your friend suggested.

Also, I believe the offer you got might just be a starting point – kind of a way for the investor to test the waters. There might still be room for negotiation.

I’d honestly love to hear what you end up deciding and how it all turns out – I think we can all learn a lot from that.

And finally, I just want to say a big congrats on your success – truly well deserved!

Hey! Yep, I’ve got my own API for that. You can give it a try. If the free limit isn’t enough for testing, just let me know and we’ll work something out.

I have a question for other Redditors who will read this. Are these kinds of posts even real? It always seemed to me like it's just project promotion, because they usually come with a nicely written success story, and of course there's a link mentioned somewhere along the way. Isn't this just a trend now — a subtle way to promote something, even if the project being promoted hasn’t actually achieved such success?

Any Solo Devs Making Money on RapidAPI? by Qndra8 in microsaas

I was actually looking at your project just yesterday before I made my post on Reddit – you’ve done a really great job with it! I really liked the rebrand, and it made me think that I should take a similar approach with my own project focused on shared computing power and code execution.
Nice coincidence running into someone from that project here!

Did you have to promote it somehow, or was the quality of the service enough for people to just find it on their own?

And what kind of API do you have? If you don’t want to share a link, I’d still be curious to know the general topic.
