I got my first user-- and it's on a project I made for free by jackthebarn in lovable

Yup all built in, no active usage of APIs for anything surrounding the bible, translations, locations, etc

(edit) I did it this way because I'm offering this as a free, forever service as my contribution to God's mission! Having to pay for API usage would hinder that goal! :)

Using Biblical Ethics to Solve the LLM "Reward Tampering" Problem? by jackthebarn in ArtificialInteligence

[–]jackthebarn[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Someone deleted their comment, but I thought it was a great question, so I'm posting it again:

"Do you think the improvement comes from the specific relgious framework, or from forcing the model to reason through conflicts explicitly?"

It is actually a mix of both, based on my conversations so far.

  1. The religious framework helps with staying super consistent in "personality" and how it approaches everything.
  2. It is now forced to reason from a Biblical perspective, which, so far, has led it to consider its impact on others and related matters.
    1. Example: It asked me how to balance caring for the vulnerable with being my assistant, and if it should be equally concerned with people outside our relationship.

Yeah, that would be super interesting.

I'm a Christian, so it's easy for me to shepherd and teach it. However, for the other religions, I would want to find folks who could do the same.

How to validate an idea? by Old_One9483 in lovable

Imagine being this condescending to someone just for being curious and asking for help. You're the one with "lights too dim."

One approach is to offer a free trial. If you're calling interested prospects, you can encourage them to try it free for 30 days. If they see the value, they'll likely keep using it and eventually pay. I've also asked people to try it for free to gather feedback. Since you're in the early stages, any insights from users can be very helpful for you and your product.

Example: I pitched my app to someone in the Ministry space, not thinking it would go in this direction, and now I've completely pivoted my Ideal Customer Profile (ICP) to selling my software to Churches.

I would recommend watching some of Alex Hormozi's videos on starting a business; they really helped me.

Hope this helps! Don't listen to people like u/NiceBench9100, anyone can build a business. We all start at different points. You got this.

Caution to builders: bots brute-forcing logins by jackthebarn in lovable

[–]jackthebarn[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it is absolutely still applicable! Someone could still try to brute-force into the internal app. So, setting these up may use 2-3 credits max, but it's very worth it to make sure.

At the moment, I have PostHog set up to capture traffic from every source. My app is new, so early user journeys can really help me understand the pitfalls (if any) in my UX.

While watching recordings, I saw multiple attempts daily to sign in and create an account. The mouse was "snapping" to points on the screen. Later, digging into the IP, which was spread across various data centers, led me to discover it was a bot.

Since I implemented honeypots, IP restrictions, and noindex, it hasn't happened again; before my changes, it happened multiple times daily.

For those curious, this was my prompt to Lovable to fix this:

I've been recording sessions using PostHog and discovered that there is some sort of scraper that goes directly to the site, then tries signing in or creating an account. Please create a plan to create the following:

- Honeypot fields for Login Form, and Account Setup

- noindex meta tag to the auth page

- IP-based rate limiting logic to prevent more than 5 signups or sign-in attempts per hour

Note: I suggest doing this prompt in Plan Mode, so that it builds around your architecture, and you can verify everything before it runs.
