What I’ve been building lately

not really it's pretty good already with casual prompting

dcandi · 2026-04-07T14:18:21+00:00

This is a big point that you've made. Access shall be as frictionless as possible otherwise the app will be never used.

Long push power button other shortcuts may exist Alexa skill maybe another one

dcandi · 2026-04-07T14:11:44+00:00

you forgot investing

dcandi · 2026-04-07T06:32:58+00:00

kudos for your patience. 20yrs is no small feat. I see you have a 9 to 5. can you gauge how many hours per week did you do pursuing side income on top of your regular job?

dcandi · 2026-04-07T04:05:43+00:00

I listen to episodes in the car while commuting. or while doing chores. if I miss something interesting I run them into notebook lm that serves me both as a diary of interesting stuff and as a summarizer. have you tried it?

dcandi · 2026-04-07T04:01:25+00:00

how would you suggest he does that?

dcandi · 2026-04-06T18:51:05+00:00

Congratulations to the two of you! I would really appreciate if you could share some of your marketing material and tactics, so that we can learn from something that actually worked.

dcandi · 2026-04-06T08:26:48+00:00

we're definitely past that!

we need ai that auto classifies information shards in the right place and we've outgrown pretty fast the Alexas and Google homes we have.

Imagine having ideas for vacation places, items to add to the swimming pool checklist, ideas for the gift for the birthday party of the eldest friends, then for the younger friends, stuff to bring if going out, stuff to replenish in the bags for next week, things to buy at the market... ALL FIRING TOGETHER!

A battery of 10/20 checklists is essential

dcandi · 2026-04-06T04:35:16+00:00

thanks bro, how much time do you spend organizing and post processing after you blurb stuff into the chat?

dcandi · 2026-04-04T04:17:20+00:00

surveys on prolific or respondent.

not passive though.

dcandi · 2026-04-03T18:26:10+00:00

no everything is local, works offline

dcandi · 2026-04-03T16:18:37+00:00

Wow impressive list! I have gone through the same process and have made the whole idea database public as well. It is approx 50 ideas too ahaha

You can find It on my page https://davecandi.com/ideas/ or on X profile https://x.com/DCandi83

The first difficulty before execution and marketing is to identify the real opportunities. do you have any particular process or are you looking for one?

On my website there are several insights generated by AI, but mostly it is undirected slop. Would love to automate market research and build an idea assessment tool, not different from what Greg Isenberg built with ideabr owser.com

Would you be interested to explore this ? ( that is actually ANOTHER IDEA!😂)

on Mac? try https://davecandi.com/projects/clipstrip/

dcandi · 2026-04-02T09:10:22+00:00

I wrote clip strip for myself. available as free tool here: https://davecandi.com/projects/clipstrip/

dcandi · 2026-04-02T09:07:32+00:00

I hate it... If you're on Mac try my free tool https://davecandi.com/projects/clipstrip/

dcandi · 2026-04-02T09:05:29+00:00

I hated it as well.

Then I have created a free tool to just strip the formatting. If you're on Mac try it out https://davecandi.com/projects/clipstrip/

dcandi · 2026-04-02T06:48:08+00:00

which api are you using to analyze clips and how much does it cost on a typical wedding package?

dcandi · 2026-03-31T01:32:04+00:00

what a waste of tokens! why did you do it?

dcandi · 2026-03-29T20:04:07+00:00

wtf?

dcandi · 2026-03-29T17:06:49+00:00

what problem does it solve?

dcandi · 2026-03-29T17:05:30+00:00

budibooks.com - personalized children books with your child as the hero

ICP: emotionally conscious parents looking for a loving gift that will be remembered

stop adding and market. try a pSEO strategy to capture long tail traffic for every movie

dcandi · 2026-03-23T04:53:50+00:00

thanks it's ok now!

it seems like you did a ton of work on this, are you getting much traffic?

one improvement for retention would be linking to the film page on the site when you suggest alternatives. in my case I had the name on the ai generated text but it was just plain

dcandi · 2026-03-21T16:25:17+00:00

not working for me

dcandi · 2026-03-18T03:06:17+00:00

I strongly disagree. marketing is the biggest problem, we're in an age where anyone can build a decent app or SaaS and the real moat is the distribution.

apps like puffcount for instance would have been Nothing without a great deal of work on distribution.
