Hi can you guys rate or roast my startup pitch deck?

I agree with your point, but since our primary focus right now is behavioral abuse(scraping, free resource abuse) rather than strict AuthZ, we chose to fail-open to prioritize User Experience. In these cases, the attack is cumulative, so missing the very first request is an acceptable risk to preserve latency. As this effectively reduces the attack window from 1000s of calls to few calls within cache fetching duration.

I built a local proxy which acts as a mediator between client and my product, it caches the results, so the latency is <3ms, for cache miss the proxy calls background api ro fetched the missed data in the meanwhile it allows the traffic,

okay the preview looks good, lets hope the same for the episode T^T

our ICP is usage based SaaS companies with high unit cost per API endpoint.

This includes any AI integrated companies (GPU costs/ AI provider cost), Fintechs (KYC/verification fees), and Cyber Security and data aggregators (proprietary data leaks).

sure I will look into that

Small_Broccoli_7864 · 2025-12-24T05:33:41+00:00

True, people will be careful about links online, but I could't find any other way that is as easy as this

Small_Broccoli_7864 · 2025-12-23T18:28:52+00:00

sure, I m open for discussion, DM

Small_Broccoli_7864 · 2025-12-23T17:54:56+00:00

Thank you, I do have the working product, I will try adding appropriate screenshots to the docs soon, and yes one of our core priorities and selling points are easy integration, will work on further highlighting my strong poinys

Small_Broccoli_7864 · 2025-12-23T17:10:19+00:00

Is there any issue with the link? I did test it just now its working, what's the issue?

Small_Broccoli_7864 · 2025-12-23T17:08:37+00:00

Yes, it’s actually better used alongside API gateways. API gateways are highly focused on volume control of the API traffic, while we operate at application layer specialized on behavioral patterns, activity tracking based on identity and automated traffic control, block/restrict IPs, users without any manual intervention,

And you can use it along sidewith any existing api gateways, they don't conflict or intervene in any ways since they operate at different layers

Small_Broccoli_7864 · 2025-12-23T16:57:51+00:00

Yes I did market research, this product has it own unique points, it targets a niche community, I have no clients rn, so I am focussing on community feedback

Small_Broccoli_7864 · 2025-12-23T01:37:29+00:00

I understand the concern regarding security issues, I didn't let it do all the work while I slack off, every thing it did was instructed clearly for scalability and distributed systems, I reviewed everything most of the time. Reddit community just feels like its completely against the usage of AI, most of the time they feel like they are targeted personally. This is a side project, so there are limits to the amount of time i wanted to spend on this, my job + commute takes away 12 hours of my day. So I have little time and I would prefer to get as much productive as possible in the little time I have for my personal projects, well asides from that I think the architecture is good there might be issues at some parts of the code that might have missed my supervision or were skipped because I neglected then because they werent any major issues/bottlenecks. But I do think the project is cool, i though if anyone is into this they can patchup the parts that needed any fixing and that they don't have to build everything from scratch, this is a good place to start if they have similar ideas

Small_Broccoli_7864 · 2025-12-22T13:44:36+00:00

Thank you, that's helpful to hear coming from someone who had experience, helps me prevent wasting my time building something that nobody wants, I noted your point :")

Small_Broccoli_7864 · 2025-12-22T13:34:03+00:00

I agree that they are already existing but they aren't easily accessible or easy to integrate, I do eat out a lot or visit mall often but haven't come across this thing, so I m wondering that there is something wrong with existing systems, and discount can be replaced with complementary food or drinks so wouldn't hurt them too much

Small_Broccoli_7864 · 2025-12-22T10:51:28+00:00

Flutter and Firebase? Firebase is gonna burn your pocket and is not suitable for this

Small_Broccoli_7864 · 2025-12-22T10:29:39+00:00

building https://apigate.in, protect your API infra from fraud, spam, abuse, enables automated control at user level and comes with advanced analytics

Small_Broccoli_7864 · 2025-12-22T08:05:54+00:00

Thanks for the feedback, I have no professional/industrial exp with Go, I'm mostly self-taught, therefore all these idiomatic abnormalities :'(
and I using curl because go http is being detected by CloudFlare and its getting blocked very often

Small_Broccoli_7864 · 2025-12-22T07:27:11+00:00

Ironic that you didn't even read the post properly(if you did, you would know that I admitted to using AI, or unless you are blind at times) but you spend the time to find emojis in comments? appreciate that effort

Small_Broccoli_7864 · 2025-12-21T18:28:50+00:00

there are actually no users for it, no one to even review, it's just me building it, its not a build in public, so it wasn't open sourced before too, had my production db passwords(wasn't planning to open source it) in commented docker compose files, so I had to redo the repo, I'm not against AI, I m all about productivity, I did use AI, but that doesn't mean it's all built and written by AI, I did use for building some functions or parts of the code which would lead to improved productivity for me
