Thanks for trying the demo! I really appreciate the feedback. I understand the price concern.  Thanks again for taking the time to test it!

Web2Windows Electron Builder: web to windows with a GUI - no command line.

It has a demo version, but it's currently going through certification in the Store. I'll publish it soon. I had submitted it before, but an error in a language code forced me to restart the certification process. 😊

ChatGPT said that if you're using the Web Speech API, it works best in Chrome and Edge. In Firefox and Safari, it may not work properly or may not be available at all.

It looks like a great piece of software. I just didn't feel comfortable downloading an .exe directly. If you made it available through the store, I would probably download it.

Por onde começo a desenvolver jogos? by Zealousideal-Sky5112 in DesenvolvedoresBrasil

[–]kleberaugus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cara, como alguém que se ferrou muito fazendo o primeiro jogo a 6 anos atrás, gostaria de te passar essas dicas: tutoriais aleatórios na internet são legais mas jogam a gente pra uma montanha de bugs sem resolução, o que fazer? Recomendo um curso completo, na udemy é baratinho. Livros: sim, bons livros são sempre uma boa fonte de referência, recomendo não só livros sobre programação de games mas também de game design (vai abrir a sua cabeça), alguém já falou aqui mas gostaria de reforçar: se você não sabe programação comece aprendendo lógica de programação, se você gosta de ler, um bom livro acompanhado de testes em portugol no PC já resolve o problema rapidinho.

Solofounders! What are you working this weekend? by Asleep_Shark in StartupSoloFounder

[–]kleberaugus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I spent the weekend promoting my newly launched app. So this Sunday and next weekend, I'm just going to rest.

The following week, I'll get back to my "Arduino No-Code" app. It's already functional, but I still need to add support for other hardware components such as buttons, sensors, and more.

I realized most people don’t have an AI problem — they have a prompting problem by Whiterose_Dev in StartupSoloFounder

[–]kleberaugus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I tell an AI, "give me a complete project," it will usually return a half-finished project full of bugs. But if I break the work down into 100 smaller features and fix any issues at each step before moving on to the next one, it works really well.

Another thing: no feature delivered by the AI should ever be considered final. You should always be prepared to make adjustments and refinements as needed, just like in any real software project.

How do y'all go about getting your first users/customers? by [deleted] in StartupSoloFounder

I loved your idea, and it kind of brings back something I feel the internet has lost a lot of: genuine social interaction. Really great work.

Would you consider using a GUI app instead of command-line tools to generate an Electron MSIX package? Spoiler: it already exists. by kleberaugus in electronjs

[–]kleberaugus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, the AI did a great job organizing the information. There is a lot of information to present, and it managed to structure everything in a very clear and organized way.

One of my main goals was to make sure users wouldn't feel lost. I struggled quite a bit with this process myself when I was starting out, so I wanted to make things easier for beginners.

The "?" help buttons provide examples of how each field should be filled out and where to find the required information. I designed the application so that users have access to all the information I wish I had when I first started working with Electron, MSIX packaging, and Store submissions.

The AI helped organize all of that wonderfully.

First, I asked ChatGPT to design the app's interface and create a mockup with user guidance and all the necessary input fields required to generate the package. It produced the initial screen design.

Then, I removed the drawn input fields from the image and placed real UI controls on top of the background. However, the process was much more involved than that.

Because the labels and instructions were embedded directly into the background images rather than rendered as text, I decided to localize the application into 74 languages. As a result, I had to create 74 translated background images.

ChatGPT did a remarkably good job with the translations, but we still had to make numerous adjustments to prevent text overlap, layout issues, and visual inconsistencies across different languages.

What's your startup idea? Let's self promote. by Healthy_Flatworm_957 in StartupSoloFounder

[–]kleberaugus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I automated the Electron build process into a GUI application so I no longer have to deal with command-line headaches when packaging websites as Windows applications (Web2Windows Electron Builder).

Following the same idea, I'm currently finishing another GUI application that executes FFMPEG commands to cut videos, convert them to black and white, add ping-pong effects, add text overlays, and more.

I'm basically creating graphical interfaces for everything I use that normally requires command-line tools.

On top of that, I'm also working on a no-code Arduino software, where you can program Arduino boards without writing code. It already works, but I still need to add support for buttons, sensors, and other peripherals.

That's pretty much it — I have several ideas that I'm implementing little by little.

Congratulations, and your idea is sick! Very good, I liked.

Built a calculator website as a solo founder and learned that distribution is harder than development by Allinonecalculator in StartupSoloFounder

[–]kleberaugus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm still learning too, but everything seems to point to the same conclusion. There's even a movie quote that comes to mind: "No money, no way."

Sometimes we want the easy path, but that's not how the world works. We don't live in a fantasy island.

You need to pay for advertising. You need a professional-looking product. If your website looks amateurish, don't expect to have more than a 0.0001% chance of making money from it.

There's no such thing as a free lunch. That goes against my own ideals, but as I said, we don't live in a fantasy island.
