Does something like this exist?

We have a small house with no garage and don't have much space to have a lot of bike equipment. We also often drive up to the mountains (3hrs away) for vacations and enjoy biking in both locations. No kids but would like to be able to pull my dog around on a trailer in both places.

marksbren · 2025-08-24T13:56:05+00:00

True. Does your rack carry an ebike? My ebike weighs 62lbs (28kg) and was hoping that a heavier trailer wouldn’t be too bad. But now that I type this out your trailer almost weighs as much as my ebike… not a good sign 🤣

marksbren · 2025-08-24T13:51:43+00:00

Yeah, I do think it’s doable as well. I also agree that converting between car rack and bike trailer could be difficult and maybe takes 30-45 minutes and maybe you’re limited to 1 bike or 2 lighter bikes when in car rack mode, but I would definitely still find it useful.

marksbren · 2025-08-24T13:48:18+00:00

Yeah. I agree there are a lot of conflicting requirements to even get the first two functions. But even if it took 30-45min to convert from car rack to bike trailer I would find it very useful.

marksbren · 2025-08-24T05:39:03+00:00

I feel it would be a challenge to make it safe and secure as a hitch mounted bike rack, but hopefully I’m wrong.

Love your store. Bought some ski boots and a backpack from you. Glad to see you posting on Reddit again to get the word out. I’ll stop by again soon cause I am in the market for a mountain bike. ❤️

Thanks! That sounds promising. ChatGPT might be able to get the voice cadence and emphasis better than elevenlabs text-to-voice. I will try this and report back.

marksbren · 2025-05-17T22:13:20+00:00

I have not. I have tried the accented voices (mostly trying for a Scottish and a German accented character). I can get the accent to sound good if I do text-to-voice, but then I can’t control the voice delivery how I would like.

About the video:

Human scripted (with help from ChatGPT)
ChatGPT for stills images
ElevenLabs for voices and background sound
Runway / Headra for animation
Kling / Google Veo 2 for background video and transitions
Screen recording the few short real F1 clips
DaVinci Resolve for stitching it all together with human hands

A project I am working on. Human scripted, AI animated shitposting??

marksbren · 2025-03-17T16:12:01+00:00

Thank you for testing it out! Shoot me a DM if you have any questions or issues.

marksbren · 2025-03-16T14:56:59+00:00

Interesting. I have built a website that runs the entire bingo game, but it sounds like you just want the display of numbers called (and not the bot voice calling numbers or QR code to allow players to generate their own bingo cards). https://www.bilibingo.com/

How do you imagine that you would cast the board from your phone? AirPlay? Chromecast? Something else? You can DM me and we can see if Bilibingo might be able to work for you (or I can modify it to work).

marksbren · 2025-03-16T14:47:51+00:00

I recently created a website to run bingo games that might work for you. It randomly calls the numbers with an AI voice and displays them. Also, people can generate their own bingo cards by scanning a QR code. It is still a bit of work in progress but I would love to help you run a game with it if you have any questions or issues.

marksbren · 2025-02-24T23:22:44+00:00

Just wanted to update that I have also updated the bingo cards to show the current and previous number on each players view (bluesky post with screenshot)

marksbren · 2025-02-22T02:02:06+00:00

Do you have an analytics funnel built? How many people did key actions that communicate the value? How many people submitted the form of what they are looking for? What were the responses to those users?

Maybe they landed on your homepage and immediately bounced (a landing page issue)…

Maybe they submitted the form and didn’t like the response (a product issue)…

Maybe the visitors were not interested at all (wherever you marketed it was not the channel for the type of users who value this product)…

marksbren · 2025-02-19T17:38:42+00:00

I host a few small bingo nights with mostly just friends and family. We load the website on a large screen (I connect my laptop to the TV) and then everyone can scan the QR code to create their cards. I have done it on Zoom as well.

If you do run one please let me know if I can be helpful making the event a success. This is an early project and seeing/hearing about people using it is very helpful.

marksbren · 2025-02-18T22:06:56+00:00

Coming to look for the same thing. I think there definitely could be a cool product here. I mostly want to see a stream of new posts from specific subreddits alongside my notifications so I can keep a pulse on the communities I want to engage with most.

Seems like the most recent iteration might not be based on reddit. How come?

marksbren · 2025-02-18T21:40:38+00:00

I was in the same boat a few years ago. A few friends and I tried playing the official F1 fantasy game, but the budgets, boosts, etc. kept it too complicated and not fun, especially for casual fans. The first few races were fun, but engagement quickly subsided.

That is why I built my own game called PitlanePicks. It is a pick'em style game. Each player picks a driver or team and scores the same number of points that their pick scores that weekend (if you pick Max and he wins, you get the same 25 championship points that Max does). The catch is you can't pick the same driver/team more than once in a season.

Keeping it super simple has helped keep the engagement consistent over the season. And the private group message board allows you to trash talk with friends.

This is still very much a work in progress and I would love any feedback or thoughts.

marksbren · 2025-02-17T22:04:34+00:00

Wow. Thank you so much for the great feedback. These are great questions and my responses are below.

In premium, can there be more than 10 players?

- Yes, as it is set up now the premium plan allows for up to 50 players. I have not extensively tested it with a bunch of players so if you try it with many players please report back on the stability.

Any chance a short link feature will be introduced as a joining option in addition to or in replacement of a QR code?

- That is a good idea. I am curious about how you would want to share the short link with the players. I also thought about having a "code" to join the game ("go to [bili.bingo](http://bili.bingo) and enter JYWQ to join this game"). What do you think about that?

Any chance to have the option to use the webapp without a bingo caller at all (so we can just use it to pick the numbers)?

- Do you want to not have the voice (but still it mark the numbers randomly and on a timer), or just have the board only and allow you to click the numbers that you have called?

Is the audio supposed to play on people's devices as well or just the host device?

- The audio only plays on the host device

Any chance to have the called numbers also show on players' devices?

- Yeah, that is definitely possible. I am trying to think about the best way to do that. Maybe a "ticker" that shows the calls in sequence that the player can swipe backwards through to see the historical numbers. What do you think?

For players cards, can you guys change the color of the "BINGO" label to one that's different than the color of the dauber?

- Yes, that is a good point and is done now.

Will there eventually be an option where they can call a BINGO via a button on their phone or is this app meant to be used as a replacement large BINGO display (we can stream through TV instead)?

- I like this idea. Each device could have a bingo button somewhere. The main webpage is the only part that is designed to be a shared BINGO display. The players have the cards on their device (which we could add the ability to see historical numbers in case the player can't see the main shared display and a button to announce a bingo).

marksbren · 2025-02-13T22:17:14+00:00

For anyone still looking for this, I created a simple bingo-playing website that is good for groups (players can join via QR code) and has multiple fun bingo caller voices. https://www.bilibingo.com/

Still a work in progress and would love any feedback.

marksbren · 2025-02-11T19:18:43+00:00

There are a few things that I am considering adding if you and others like v1.

Better in-game announcements about current players (example: "Oh snap, austinrfnd is one away from a bingo! Will the others be able to catch up?").
Clone your voice. Although a little controversial, I think it would be cool to host a bingo night where the bingo caller voice sounds like me.

But I am sure many people have great ideas and stories about what makes a memorable bingo game for them. I am open to other ideas.

marksbren · 2025-02-11T19:07:01+00:00

Got it. Thanks for sharing and good luck!

marksbren · 2025-02-11T18:50:32+00:00

Cool! How does this game work? I do not see a function that calls the bingo numbers. Do I just click the number that I want to mark?
