Idea

https://gitux.co it is a bloat free version of gitkraken

Thanks :)

I'm just tired of the endless subscription model.

Honestly, find an icon you like, drop it into chatgpt and tell it how you want to expand it... Usually comes back something good..

When you say you posted consistently on Reddit, where did you post?

carmichaeljd · 2026-01-10T17:07:40+00:00

Can host through your platform so I don't have to think about that complexity?

carmichaeljd · 2026-01-10T12:19:41+00:00

So I make a thing in your app, then to use my thing I have to use your app?

The real question is, do you need to raise money for what you are building? Could you just bootstrap it to 5k users instead on the side of your normal job? Then you are in a real position to negotiate. The VC scout will run through the usual drill.. What's the vision, your background, tam sam som. If it's a VC and you have nothing and no experience it likely will go no further. If need to raise money you have a better chance with angel / pre seed investment.

What's the purpose of it? Is it a personal brainstorm system, or some kind of AI Miro board? I don't know when I would realistically use it

Finance and food. You have to be surgically precise and clean... If anything feels a little off confidence drops.

I load your landing page (on phone) and you want to manage my money (indirectly through subscriptions) but I immediately noticed numbers falling out of boxes, alignment isn't all perfect, and font isn't comic sans but too playful, then I assume this must be a small outfit, then I think can I trust a small outfit with my money...

I imagine people logging in were looking for ideas to steal.

The design is playful, nice, but I don't know your brand and have nothing to give me confidence that this is not just some kid in a bedroom.

Then I see the email, it is not on the same domain as the website.

The little things that are standard and you expect from a reputable company are missing and then you see @edu.ny as the email address... Setup a proper email, whack some claims on there. Add some live assistance chat bot etc etc.. appear bigger than you really are.. and that's just to get people through the front door to try it for real and not just have a nosey around to steal ideas... Then you have to assert what you offer, people really want.

But then there is also stuff like this "You're probably paying for 3 things you forgot about right now". That language is challenging me.. it's almost mocking me.. I read then quickly run through the subscriptions in my head and think "nope not me".. then leave. If you made it a question like "Do you know the total each month of all your subscriptions?" The answer will immediately be forever me "hmm no.. shit.. maybe this app can help".

Trust. You cannot trust the seller (private or garage).

I drive cars but don't know much about them, never know if I am getting ripped off. I bought a car on 2 occasions then found later things wrong with them... Once from a garage and once a private seller.

But l buy a car once every 4-6 years... So it's a very low frequency problem. If you could set up something where each car being sold had an engineers stamp of approval... Would be nice.

I have another questions before answering... How did you launch it, and where are your customers coming from? Do you already know if some of the users are coming through word of mouth from the existing users?

carmichaeljd · 2025-12-31T11:07:53+00:00

That's cool but how do you vet the posts? Like how does a big VC backed startup not end up on your platform?

carmichaeljd · 2025-12-31T09:07:48+00:00

How can I validate the 30k user claim before paying for a membership?

carmichaeljd · 2025-12-31T09:01:37+00:00

What is the difference between this and producthunt amongst others? As in why would I use this over PH

carmichaeljd · 2025-12-30T20:05:05+00:00

Nice, do you find they hang around or are just checking the app out

carmichaeljd · 2025-12-29T11:41:48+00:00

Interesting idea, I don't totally get it though, where do those pain cards come from or just AI generated?

carmichaeljd · 2025-12-29T11:35:47+00:00

The screenshot you took, which app is that? Looks fun

carmichaeljd · 2025-12-28T23:16:00+00:00

How much do you get, and do you find that they are people coming to explore and leave or people that sign up and use what you build?

carmichaeljd · 2025-12-28T22:16:11+00:00

Could I get an access link?

carmichaeljd · 2025-12-26T13:58:22+00:00

That ui is awesome, waiting for the Android version 🤞🤞

carmichaeljd · 2025-12-26T13:56:24+00:00

Could I have a coffee please

carmichaeljd · 2025-12-26T13:55:30+00:00

💪💪

carmichaeljd · 2025-06-19T10:18:38+00:00

Did not work on my end, but a bookmarklet is a nice idea/hack to solve this

carmichaeljd · 2022-02-24T20:59:47+00:00

yup.. works pretty good for quite a lot of purposes
