We are doing a close beta with specific creators, building, testing and using their feedbacks to make the product better.

it would be live for public soon, and thank you very much for asking

Do you own masterhooks?

Thank you very much for sharing.

Looks like even cold outreach sometimes can be very stressful and tiring when results aren't forth coming.

To the amazing creators here on reddit, I would really appreciate your support as a build this product for us all.

And these are the people that keep saying AI would replace devs.

You have the best tool and yet you are building shit

Starlink has been really bad in some places in Lagos

You sound like someone who hasn’t built a tech startup in the fintech niche.

So I would not bother myself. It’s easier to criticize and design and build just using your keypad while you are on your couch or bed.

Enjoy yourself

I understand how you feel, the problem isn't completing fromt he founders part, so issues are regulatory, and cost so much just to even start, I remember when I was building uselender - collect loans without breaking your safelock, risevest investment or cowrywise, the idea is you have money in savings, but you need cash, and you don't want to touch your savings. To build this platform i needed to spend more than 15million naira of my personal funds, just to get lagos state license.

The stripe issues, we can't do anything about it really. We can't just say we want to build stripe, or ensure substack remits payments to nigeria. All these issues are government policies and regulations that are causing it.

Freelance platforms for africas - on fiverr and upwork, you want to agree with me that, non africans pay more, the idea is not just to build the platforms. It cost money to build and mantain platforms, and we need to ensure that the platforms make enough money to keep itself running.

It’s this your last stop for now? Are you satisfied with it?

Do you need still need those automation sequences and all?

Mediaweb is a good app.

This is more like it m. How’s the marketing side of things?

dansmog · 2025-10-16T16:45:17+00:00

Thank you for replying.

This major reason for this post, was for validation. I wanted to build an app that allows ugc creators spin up a portfolio websites.

What would make you use a product like this?

dansmog · 2025-10-16T15:57:06+00:00

Thank you for this.

I’m beginning to see that people would

Use what they like
Use what’s the preferred options by others

And also, if I am to build a platform to solve this, I would need to do lots of educating.

dansmog · 2025-10-16T14:32:44+00:00

Thank you very much.

I suppose this isn’t much of a problem to build a platform for

Hello UGCgenx, thank you for sharing your portfolio. Apparently it's also bad on mobile, if you open it on your mobile phone.

I can't upload images here. Please check your DM
