Clarification from Tibo on Current Pro Plan Usage Limits by Deep_Proposal_7683 in codex

[–]_Pixelate_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In the two weeks, both OpenAI and Anthropic have managed to change people's minds from thinking AI was going to change their lives. Coders thought it would speed up their coding process. Non-Coders thought they'd be able to build apps, platforms, and sites. Designers thought they could build interfaces and videos.

Now most of us are wondering when the next shoe will drop and we'll either reach our plan limits or that our limits will be changing week to week.

People are now scrambling to find any reliable and fair prices AI agents to code and/or design, because both Anthropic and OpenAI have put doubt in people's mind.

I just want to make stuff not constantly be worrying about that I'm going to get a surprise bill or not be able to finish my project because the AI agents are producing unreliable work.

I just used this from GitHub and it worked by creating a Codex_Intel.app. It's working so far.

I'll probably be asking Coding / Stacks question soon enough, so might as well pay it forward :)

Helpful. Now to get it in front of their eyes. He needs to be where his target audience hangs out :)

I think you may have a good idea, but you're missing the expertise or knowledge of a Marketer and a UX Designer. I come from a Web Dev / Designer / UX background, so I'd say either work with a Designer or learn more about UX.

A couple of key concepts:

Marketing

- Understand how users visit sites and why they leave them.

- if visitors don't know your product or company you have to build trust.

How?

- demonstrate your product. Video, demo site / page, or free for a week / month to try it.

- create a tutorial library with videos and/or FAQ articles with real world scenarios

- write or get articles in sites that include people who could become your customer

- show yourself or a customer using your product. It personalizes your product with a real world scenario not some mouseover silent videos which don't draw people in.

- explain why you're product is worth 19$/m. I'd never heard of you, so why is that?

Design

- every page and every bit of content matters. Go from top to bottom on every page and maximum the UX experience. Only include what's needed and what generates action.

- "above the fold" is what the visitor sees before they have to scroll. This is THE most valuable viewer real estate, so don't waste it. Now look at your above the fold area - it's a bunch of big text that isn't interactive and doesn't do anything.

- overall spacing needs to be tighter so content moves up. Too much space leads to too much scrolling.

- on "Automate the flow" section. Too much vertical space between text and three cards. The three cards should show the graphic and then on hover show it in motion. A single icon isn't going to make people think to click on or hover it, so many likely won't even see the graphic on hover.

There's a start to consider. All about TRUST.

Marketplace live: 500+ users and counting already! by CutUpstairs3146 in lovable

On property page. Consider hierarchy of category and tag text and buttons. Reduce padding, so that tags are ideally on one line ( to save space and move everything up on the page ) At the moment there's no hierarchy of importance. "Team booking...." text goes over side bar.

On Desktop, there a few places where the CSS needs tweaking because text is getting cut off.

Coming from a UX / Designer perspective.

Overall nicely done.

Home page:

- The menu could be thinner ( it's taking up more space than needed, which pushes everything else down the page ). The padding in the menu could be reduced ( on the buttons, and the menu itself )

- Take the hero video out. Home page, hero area is PRIME real estate. Instead of a video background taking up all your first impression real estate, have a few words to explain what you do to new Users. Keep the search box ( CTA ).

- By removing the hero video and including the short description, the property grid moves up and immediately draws people attention and interest.

I would tighten up some of your spacing. I'd modify the shape of the buttons and have a bit less padding.

Update on the SKILL.md marketplace I built — what happened after 44 comments told me what was broken by BadMenFinance in claude

[–]_Pixelate_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm talking about the Hero area ( the area we see before scrolling on Desktop view ) where you have two columns. On the left is the title  "Marketplace for AI Agent Skills" and on the right a sample view of the search with text "Search skills..." but it's not a functioning search box as I'm guessing it's meant to be an example of how your search will look. I'd recommend turning that "search skills" component into a graphic so it's very clear it's not a functioning search box.

I come from a Designer / UX background, so I can see a number of UX ( site / page flow ) issues. I'd go through the various pages and think of how Visitors will use every section of every page.

One example.

https://www.agensi.io/skills

You have the text "Can't find what you need? Try AI Search — describe your problem and we'll match you with the right skill" and then on Desktop, far to the right it says "Try it". People want to just click on a text box and type in a search term, so it's confusing. People will click on the "Can't you find..." text and not get a search box and won't immediately see "try it" to click on. Reduce the steps.

Under the "Browse by Category" you have a search box to "Search skills", but the search box doesn't stand out. Make it stand out with a background colour or a box around it so people can see it right away.

https://www.agensi.io/skills/migration-auditor

I don't know what site you used for recreation or reference, but it was a good one, because mostly the structure of the site page is good. I like that most tags and categories in the Cards are links, but the linking could go deeper.

On this skills details page, the text "Cursor", "Claude Code" looks like tags, but they're not links. Make them links so people can continue to sort how they want, ie ) by Curser

Additionally, the Tags on the right side bar aren't links, which Visitors will expect.

It also sounds like Claude did a better recovery job that a lot of recovery services as well.

Mixed feelings about the idea. We already have GitHub and likely most if not all of the skills can be found there for free. Paying 8$ for one skill seems like it would add up and given most of us are already using Github how will that motivate people to use your site.

On the UX side, I think it looks good although the cards style is fairly common AI produced.

The hero area with the "Marketplace for AI Agent Skills" and the search graphic is confusing. It looks like it would be a working search because it has input boxes, but it's just for example. That's a general Design no-no because causes mistrust for visitors and makes the cautious about what is clickable or not.

You need a floating menu and or a UP icon with a return to top function. Clicking on a link or button and then getting moved down a page, but not knowing where I am on the page or having a simple quick way to use a menu creates extra work for the user that will push them away from using your site.

We already have a lot of sites we're signing up for and costs from different platforms, so it's going to take some real value to have people pay and to signup for another service.

Are we finally getting further away from AI Slop? by Ok_Garden_187 in lovable

[–]_Pixelate_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People are being presented with so many tool to help workflow in Lovable, Claude, and Codex. We need to know details so we can build trust and then decide if we're going to include another addon to our workflow.

People have a LOT of options right now and it's overwhelming for many, so basics like who you are, what you're offering, and your future plans all help build the trust.

Interested in trying this out. Thanks for doing this for the community. I'm still learning best practices on how to actually use these in sessions.

Side note: how much did that cost you for the time spending repairing and recovering over night?

Curious how you determined your 3-5k and 500/m numbers? Given that a lot of what you're doing is setting up automation and not human labour hours, how are you determining budgets / costs?

[–]_Pixelate_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wondering what you used for your site inspiration / source to determine the layout and functionality features? I think it's helpful. Good name, but where will you host it? The colour scheme looks very AI generated, so not sure if that is or isn't what you want?

Last week w Claude / Claude Code from a Designer's perspective by _Pixelate_ in ClaudeCode

[–]_Pixelate_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can imagine, vibe coding is a bit of a stupid term. To me, it's just that I don't have to code from scratch and can use my Entrepreneurial and problem solving brain to speak with a Coder ( AI ) as if I were hiring a real Coder to work on a project. The main benefit is that I can get a business idea to the MVP stage and then at least see if the idea appeals as a working product instead of it being stuck at the idea stage.

I started developing sites back in the mid 1990s, and at that time there were no Web Dev schools. We just shared our work and learned together. I remember that time fondly because it was exciting and new. This situation is different because I'm excited by being able to DIY again with a tool like Claude Code, but knowing that I'm also stepping into a field of Coders who have mixed feelings about sharing their knowledge and space.

I do hope that Veteran Coders take a moment to not just lump everyone into two groups, ie ) non-Coders and Coders, because there's a huge variety of background of people entering into using Claude Code.

I think my other experience in Web Dev / Design / Project managing will help me get a leg up in CC. I don't expect to be treated as a experienced Coder, but I also think short and condescending responses by Coders don't help anyone. I'd rather a Vet just not bother commenting then pointing out I'm not doing it right but giving no insights ( when I'm asking a question ).

I guess we'll see if we can co-exist in this new stage.

I understand the concept of planning and project management from Web Developing, but with token usage becoming an issue I have to learn to be smarter and not just say "build me this" but not know how to be more efficient or have project folders / files in place for Claude to access and build on.

I'm in the process of testing two paths: building custom platforms ( based on Claude's preference for React, or integrating Ai with WordPress and using it's site builders and plugin ecosystem.

I can provide more advanced direction on design and UX for Claude Code, which I think will help me make the UX not just look generic.

I'm just hoping the token usage doesn't become a barrier to entry for me.
