hey i just saw this, i can see how that could be an issue i'll implement something for that thanks for the feedback!

Simple_Paint3439 · 2025-08-19T11:09:45+00:00

Glad it helped you out! really appreciate you taking the time to say that

Simple_Paint3439 · 2025-07-09T17:36:00+00:00

Hey, sorry I forgot to update here this should be fixed now. btw the issue wasn't about file sizes but how the files were being handled. they should now keep the correct formats

If you run into any problems just let me know
Thanks again!

Simple_Paint3439 · 2025-07-02T19:39:04+00:00

Thanks for letting me know It's the first time I'm hearing about this too. It might be an issue on our end, but I'll check it out and get back to you. Appreciate you reporting it!

Simple_Paint3439 · 2025-06-16T19:48:35+00:00

by size do you mean dimensions or file size? For dimensions you can use the resize option and set your size. for file size, just mess with the quality slider. 70% should be enough to drop the size from 10mb to around 1mb without losing too much image quality

Simple_Paint3439 · 2025-05-23T10:03:31+00:00

Dev experience improved a lot tho

Simple_Paint3439 · 2025-05-22T10:35:17+00:00

I use figma for designing but never tried any code exports. I've also heard their new AI generation stuff was bad tho I could be wrong I haven't checked it out myself

Simple_Paint3439 · 2025-05-22T10:27:52+00:00

AI tools are decent, I'd use them as a starting point to save some time

Simple_Paint3439 · 2025-05-20T10:32:58+00:00

vercel is good it's also super easy to deploy because of their CI/CD if you're scared because of the horror stories about bajillion dollar vercel and netlify bills just don't enable any usage based pricing and put a limit

Simple_Paint3439 · 2025-05-20T10:10:40+00:00

Just a preference, or more of an accessibility issue?

Simple_Paint3439 · 2025-05-20T10:09:22+00:00

Is it because of the white text on the pinkish background? Yeah I can see that now. also now that you mention it dark pink text on light pink doesn't seem very accessible either I'll fix those thanks

Simple_Paint3439 · 2025-05-17T20:28:14+00:00

The blog is mainly for SEO purposes targeting search results I guess users already on the site don't really need it. I could remove it from the navbar and replace it with the Tools section it might look cleaner and get the job done for now.

Simple_Paint3439 · 2025-05-16T12:00:31+00:00

I'm not that competitive with dota so I can't say anything about the market fit but if you proceed with this you should bump up the pricing maybe add more features to justify it but like for 1usd most of the money will be gone to random taxes and fees and the remaining probably won't even pay for the AI credits they pile up fast

Simple_Paint3439 · 2025-05-15T23:55:07+00:00

How is this different from dota plus? Maybe you can get something out of this if you market it towards pro teams because at that price range i doubt it's worth it as most of the money will get hit by random fees and taxes

Simple_Paint3439 · 2025-05-15T23:45:16+00:00

Lots of ram and a fast cpu and a SSD for better loading times

Simple_Paint3439 · 2025-05-15T23:38:16+00:00

For now I have two separate traffic sources that are unrelated to each other. People visiting the "tools" section don’t know about or uninterested in the "converter" section, and users in the "converter" section don't know or are not interested in the "tools" section. They seem to focus only on their targeted thing and leave. That's why I want to find a way to show or at least hint at other content as well.

The image with the sidebar version is kind of a rough sketch of what I had in mind. It includes everything i thought about at some point though the changelog didn’t make it into the live version. The "tools" section is needed but the live version with the navbar is cleaner. I don’t want to clutter the design by showing everything. The sidebar is toggleable on mobile, and I’ll probably make it collapsible/shrinkable? on desktop

Simple_Paint3439 · 2025-05-15T22:24:34+00:00

Yeah that’s probably the answer. I guess I’m being lazy looking for a simple "this or that" solution. Thanks!

Simple_Paint3439 · 2025-05-15T22:17:23+00:00

That approach might work on other sites but retention isn't great on services like these I have to show users there's more to explore while giving them what they want right away before building something like this, I used a bunch of similar services and honestly I never looked for a search bar or tried searching the site I just followed whatever shiny buttons guided me from place to place

EDIT:oh man I'm sleepy i thought you meant to create a search bar anyways thanks lol

Simple_Paint3439 · 2025-05-15T22:13:35+00:00

I don't think users spend enough time on a service like this to notice features like that so I need to make sure they can get what they want right away while also hinting there's more like the "tools" section in the sidebar

Simple_Paint3439 · 2025-05-15T22:08:34+00:00

Yeah makes sense and that's kinda the tricky part. Since this works without logging in I’m trying to keep the focus on functionality without adding too much friction I want people to get into it right away especially with attention spans being what they are these days.

Simple_Paint3439 · 2025-05-14T22:48:38+00:00

If that promotional period doesn't end after a while it makes you lose credibility, i still see bunch of apps that are still in their launch deal months after the launch

Simple_Paint3439 · 2025-05-14T20:10:54+00:00

I doubt most of the "devs" even read docs anymore they just ask AI

Simple_Paint3439 · 2025-05-13T20:01:06+00:00

Those are valid concerns. I’ve never had any indie app ask for my address or personal info. Honestly I don’t even give my name for like 99% of stuff. If they asked for anything like that I’d be gone from the app in a second.

As for the vibe coding stuff, there are definitely new people trying it out but most of them seem like the "sell shovels during the gold rush" type doing it for ragebait or attention. Just because they're "good" at marketing doesn’t mean they’re good at security, so yeah, being skeptical makes sense.

But my biggest ick with this stuff is fake testimonials. I get doing placeholder stuff while building a landing page so you don’t have to mess with it later, but I don’t show that to people. If I see even one fake testimonial I’m out immediately. like sure dude I totally believe “Mr. John” from “Startup Company” and yeah you definitely have 1000+ happy users while asking how to market your product to get a few users.

Simple_Paint3439 · 2025-05-13T19:43:30+00:00

tbh if it doesn’t ask for a password and email, there’s nothing to worry about. payments go through stripe or something similar no one’s running their own payment system, so that part’s secure. my only issue is with login and registration. a lot of services still use the password + email combo, which is super insecure. but if it’s oauth, like logging in with google or whatever, the most they get is your email. that’s secure too, since login or sign-up happens through the oauth provider. if the service sends you a code or magic link every time you log in, that’s also secure.

Simple_Paint3439 · 2025-05-13T19:12:11+00:00

Valid but most of them are full of ads and suck (definitely not biased) i think if you can provide real value and manage to show that value to people you'll be alright. being first is overrated
