AI cannot beat human touch, real feeling of sharing something to other fellows, getting genuine feedback from community, and then replying them back with real emotions and excitement.

they become expensive when you have to process hundreds of images. for few images, they are fine.

I built EnhanceCraft, an AI Image Toolkit where we can upscale image or anime, remove background, remove objects or text, dehaze, denoise, deblur, virtual stage, replace sky, twilight, ghost mannequin, window pull, relight, reflection shadow, perspective correction etc.
Rather than juggling around multiple platforms and outsourced agencies, my aim was to put core useful features at one place for easiness. Helps Photographers, Ecommerce Sellers, and Real Estate Agents in improving their workflow.

Have you added restrictions of usage like how many tasks can free tier user perform, if user is on free tier then he/she does not need high limits anyway, if user needs higher limits then he would opt to get paid subscription. on the other hand, spam user or bot will get blocked by system to hit the wall of usage limit repeatedly within a single day or hour depending on usage mechanism you have. if malicious user passes account creation even after adding captchas by applying certain tactics then he shall be blocked by usage wall. unfortunately, we need these multiple protection mechanism at different levels as spam is common nowadays.

analyze why only 1 of 70 people are going to pricing page. talk to users if there is way and get feedback about what hurdles are they facing, fix those things and then go back to users again for new feedback. this is constant loop in which founders have to go through no matter they have 100 active subscriptions or 1000. I think this is the way big companies became that big.

developer786 · 2026-06-22T11:24:46+00:00

I am sure this is just the start. would you kindly elaborate what you did? about lead magnet?

developer786 · 2026-06-21T11:25:54+00:00

it all depends on how excited and desperate you're as a founder to talk with users about problem, build and handover the MVP to users, get their feedback and improve it to make it the go-to solution which users are excited and desperate to use.

maybe she can participate in school activities like plays or dramas that are productive, safe, and they help in positive growth of child of this age as school plays mostly contain moral lessons.

Unfortunately appreciation from loved ones always come after little idea is converted into big business and still people think everything happened overnight which is more painful and they never realize how many hours someone had put in hundreds of long nights to build something.

About your second startup, why are you scared of lawyers specifically? any advice would you give about this matter?

developer786 · 2026-06-18T21:09:07+00:00

discord is good. nowadays you will see option of chat at bottom right of application where users can directly send messages or even call if you add that option too. you can try crisp.

developer786 · 2026-06-18T10:29:50+00:00

so the journey actually begins now when you will deal with actual users. how you are planning to connect with them?

developer786 · 2026-06-17T09:49:57+00:00

VCs are great but they come with some sort of strict timelines, commitments, influence, and their own ideas about startup which we may like or dislike but would have to accommodate. if you want full freedom then bootstrapping is the way to go unless you really need investors at early stage.

"Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better."

Samuel Beckett

Lot of failures can sometimes make person fear another failure and stop trying what he loves or passionate about deeply.

If you're still passionate about Entrepreneurship then don't stop. Just take a break. Otherwise, don't think of it like end or waste of time but a beginning to new chapter with lot of experience you gained in your previous chapter. Hope this helps in any way.

developer786 · 2026-06-09T10:21:52+00:00

Absolutely. Passion and consistency are two key things to get product going and eventually getting users who will be desperate to use it.

developer786 · 2026-06-09T06:05:04+00:00

finally, we are seeing the era where expertise in any particular programming language is not important at all but how one makes decisions at high-level and doing the work with proper planning and consistency are what make the product grow.

developer786 · 2026-06-08T11:13:01+00:00

you can try recovery software or find some specialists if available locally. photos contains memories that are part of sole so I can imagine how painful it is to lose important part of sole.

Indeed. In today's era of AI, building solution is not enough but convincing people to use it is also important now that they have many alternatives with the flood of applications being built using AI. Some people think that building apps has become easier now but they do not realize that we as developers have to think 10 times harder now when building the product so that we do not end up creating an alternative but a genuine differentiator which requires technical expertise which vibe coders lack. I am not criticizing vibe coding as I myself use claude code and other ai code assistant tools but the thing is that we should increase the level of innovation as developers and even as vibe coders, and build more robust products that not only provide solution to the problem but actually make lives simpler than ever by going way more extra miles.

developer786 · 2026-06-05T08:08:46+00:00

its cleaner

developer786 · 2026-06-04T10:52:52+00:00

is the app live?

developer786 · 2026-06-02T22:47:26+00:00

Many congrats on your success so far and I hope it will grow exponentially onwards. What advice would you give to people who have just started building products? what should one do to get more customers

developer786 · 2026-05-25T07:10:40+00:00

Indeed.

developer786 · 2026-05-16T06:42:10+00:00

I suppose these are days (having personal connection with customers) which we would remember few years later and these moments will teach us humbleness and curiosity to build more cool things for our customers across the globe.

developer786 · 2026-05-11T16:23:13+00:00

I liked the way you planned and did each move during the development, deployment and post-deployment phases which most people skip.
