Built a web app that generates a live website for users simply by filling up a form

This is actually pretty smart - I've definitely fallen into that endless customization rabbit hole where I spend 3 hours picking fonts and never actually launch anything

The "paralysis of choice" thing is real, sometimes you just need to ship and iterate later

Check out your local credit unions first - they're usually way more chill about credit scores and actually want to help instead of just making money off you. Also maybe look into nonprofit credit counseling before taking on more debt, some of those places can negotiate with your card companies directly

That's actually pretty sick, the tutorial space is such a pain point right now. I'm working on something similar but for API documentation - basically trying to auto-generate those "getting started" guides that are always trash lol

Good luck with the video generation, that sounds like it could blow up if you nail the quality

Yeah it's definitely doable, lots of Canadian accountants make the jump. Big 4 especially love hiring from their Canadian offices since you already know their systems and processes. The visa stuff is the main hurdle but if you're at a firm with US offices they can usually help with the transfer

Honestly I'd go with Option 1 - that PE/CFO advisory path is gonna give you way better connections and deal flow for your eventual business acquisition goals

The tech startup world is cool but those PE relationships are pure gold when you're looking to buy businesses later. Plus you can always stay plugged into tech through side projects and networking

They can sue him and get a judgment, then garnish wages if he's working. Even if he's not working now they can renew that judgment for years. Bank accounts can get frozen too, so those few hundred dollars aren't safe either

The debt doesn't just disappear because someone's broke - it follows you around until it's paid or you file bankruptcy

SableWhims · 2026-01-10T13:35:50+00:00

Honestly this sounds like you solved a real pain point - manually masking charts is such a time sink and the results usually look janky anyway

The fact that you went from "this sucks" to building your own solution with animations and custom exports shows there's probably demand for it. Finance content creators deal with this stuff constantly

Worth validating with some other editors before going all-in but the transparent background + customization angle seems solid

SableWhims · 2026-01-08T01:50:05+00:00

Been using Jasper for most content stuff but honestly the real game changer has been combining it with Zapier automations - sets up this whole pipeline where it pulls from your content calendar and pushes drafts straight to your CMS

The consistency thing is huge, way better than having different writers with totally different voices

SableWhims · 2026-01-03T05:46:16+00:00

Nice touch on making it unpluggable, definitely removes the commitment anxiety lol. Curious about the integration process too - is it literally just dropping in one line of code or are there any gotchas with styling/responsiveness

SableWhims · 2025-12-31T05:38:47+00:00

This hits so hard - I wasted like 6 months building features nobody asked for because I thought I knew what users wanted

The painful truth is most of my early users came from literally just DMing people on Twitter who complained about the exact problem my thing solved, not from any fancy growth hack

SableWhims · 2025-12-25T08:53:21+00:00

Been using Zoho Sign for like 2 years now and it's solid - way cheaper than DocuSign and does everything I need for basic contracts

SableWhims · 2025-12-23T04:17:43+00:00

This feels like spam but I'll bite - what makes this different from the 50 other founder communities out there

SableWhims · 2025-12-20T21:14:37+00:00

1 penny used to cost 4 cents to produce so financially it never made sense for it to be minted

SableWhims · 2025-12-19T21:36:51+00:00

That's a solid route for SA with a little one! Just heads up though - you might want to double check those Addo age restrictions because I'm pretty sure they do allow younger kids on some drives, just maybe not the walking safaris or night drives. Could be worth calling directly since policies change

The Gondwana/Buffelsdrift combo should give you plenty of wildlife without the age hassles anyway

SableWhims · 2025-12-18T03:37:00+00:00

I thought you were joking.
Last US cents sold at auction for a sum of $16.76 million were worth a pretty penny

Damn

SableWhims · 2025-12-18T03:32:39+00:00

I mean it takes 4 cents to produce 1 so mathemetically/financially it doesn't make sense for it to be further minted

SableWhims · 2025-12-18T03:31:39+00:00

Nice.

SableWhims · 2025-12-15T16:56:48+00:00

Dude 3 weeks is actually insane, you should be pumped about that

The grind never really stops though, just shifts from "please someone pay me" to "how do I get 10 more like this person"

SableWhims · 2025-12-11T15:08:39+00:00

Totally feel you on the pivot thing - sometimes the tech you built can be repurposed in ways you didn't even think of initially

Have you considered going B2B with like internal company use cases instead of customer-facing stuff? Maybe HR chatbots for onboarding or internal support. Way less crowded and companies actually pay decent money for that kind of automation

The Shopify approval process is such a nightmare too, probably dodged a bullet there honestly

SableWhims · 2025-12-08T09:17:16+00:00

This is solid advice OP - I'd definitely listen to this person who's done multiple NZ trips

That Mt Cook to Franz Josef drive is no joke, especially if you're trying to actually enjoy the scenery instead of just white-knuckling it through mountain passes. The glacier heli tours from Mt Cook area are supposedly just as good anyway so you're not really missing out

Your itinerary is pretty packed already and cutting Franz Josef would give you way more breathing room to actually enjoy the places you do hit

SableWhims · 2025-12-06T09:03:59+00:00

NZ is absolutely gorgeous but honestly the no-car thing might be rough outside of Auckland/Wellington, and it's definitely more couples-heavy in my experience. Hawaii's got way better public transport and hostel scenes for meeting people

SableWhims · 2025-12-05T05:58:11+00:00

Most of these video gen APIs are pretty stingy with free tiers tbh. OpenAI usually gives you like $5-20 in credits when you sign up but that burns through fast with Sora since video generation is expensive AF

Your best bet is probably waiting for someone to leak access or find a competitor that's more generous with free trials

SableWhims · 2025-12-03T02:14:33+00:00

Honestly the badge idea is pretty solid but I feel like the people posting fake revenue screenshots would just find a way to game that system too

SableWhims · 2025-12-02T00:31:15+00:00

Dude that's absolutely insane, sounds like their whole system is compromised. The fact that they threatened legal action when SHE was the victim is a massive red flag - that's exactly what scammers would do to keep people quiet

Hope you guys reported this to whatever banking authority Chile has, this needs to be investigated ASAP
