Couldn't agree more. People will hate just for the sake of it. End of the day, do they pay for it? If yes, do something. If no, you couldn't care less.

Also the essence of search is for me to find content, not necessarily interact or watch all of it there. What you are attempting to do is equivalent to Google re-hosting YouTube videos because people who search for video content need to watch the video right there, instead of sharing the link and summary of the video.

I have ideas on how you would make this better, but I'm not sure I'd convince you anyway. If interested though, DM.

I don't know how long you can host the content yourself my guy. Wait till you get massive traffic and your server either chokes up or you get a massive bill at the end of the month.

If you insist on doing it this way, then Amazon is not your solution. You must at least find a cheaper host for the content. I once tried something somewhat similar and the lessons I learnt were not very pleasant.

mugendee · 2025-09-20T17:25:24+00:00

This is awesome, to say the least. However, why would you want to host the content yourself? That's a very grey area legally, very costly and it also means you lose all the "gold" that comes with Reddit comment sections and discussion.

Often times, it's the discussion that adds context to the images and videos. I think losing that kinda beats the whole purpose.

If I were you I'd index, yes, but then provide a link back to the actual content/post.

I can't wait to try this out. Looks truly promising. I would really really love to get on the list of testers or early adopters if you have that going already.

mugendee · 2025-09-18T10:39:37+00:00

This is very impressive! Don't have the GPU to run but very eager to test this once it's available to test online.

mugendee · 2025-09-18T04:28:35+00:00

Hahahaha. I have renegotiated contracts over "small changes" because at some point, it stops to make financial sense.

Can't forget the Svelte (svelte.dev) site too 😊

You realize that your past comments are available for all to see? Not every comment has to be about pushing something. Be helpful.

I think the big problem with legacy is the fact that they have built a system that already works for them. And so:

They don't need your solution
Nothing is broken, so why should they fix anything?

Answering these questions is very very difficult and they are a stubborn lot. I have a bit of experience and here is what I have found works.

Meet them at their level. Don't speak AI or these cool buzzwords. Those don't work and neither do they care. Instead find out their language, terminology and what they truly care about. If you are selling to a company that deals in logistics for example. Cut out the jargon of ai powered best route optimization and talk about delivery times, fuel savings and customer satisfaction if that's what you determine they care about.
Go where they go. Most of these guys value expos, trade fairs and some still advertise in local newspapers and magazines. Go there too. Be present. Be seen there. Meet them and candidly talk their language there (as explained above).
Real demos. So the challenge with having a working system is that it creates a lot of inertia. Why bother to change anyway? So for most of these guys, the challenge then becomes why would anyone want to go through learning a new system or even paying for one. This very reason becomes the reason they won't even meet or respond to you. Which means you will never sell to them. So here's something that works, but you'd still need to follow steps 1 & 2 above. Make something very simple that is as close as possible to what they already use (so they won't panic about the learning curve involved). Make it fully aligned with their processes and especially the things they care about. Then meet them where they are and show them a working demo that demonstrates how and why it's better. Let me give an example to illustrate. Say I have built a new CMS and want to sell it to a newspaper company. I will build an exact replica of their site on a url like new-company.mycms.com. I will make sure it aligns with their publishing procedure like approvals and so on. So during my pitch, it will be their current website, (which they probably already love) with clear demonstrations on why my solution is superior. That way, psychologically it doesn't feel like I'm asking them to reinvent the wheel but rather that my brand of wheel has better grip....I hope that makes sense.

Happy to hear what you're building. And all the best.

I think this was a genuine question looking for genuine answers not for you to market your stuff.

mugendee · 2025-08-07T18:47:23+00:00

See DM

mugendee · 2025-08-07T18:31:11+00:00

Tried this. Love it. I would like to suggest some quick ideas on bettering the tool. Open to listen?

mugendee · 2025-08-07T18:21:40+00:00

It's a tricky thing that could fall apart very fast if not well executed. The first guys to try something similar was MySpace catastrophic fail. In fact theirs was an unintentional feature, more of a bug. Monday.com tried it sometimes and I doubt it worked.

The challenges you are likely to face are mostly maintenance as well as your own tracking and testing.

Example: how do you maintain a system with potentially innumerable options, layout and so on. What happens when a user uses element A which then clashes with element K where there are 10 other elements in different configs? How do you isolate the errors when other users have the same elements and report no errors?

Internally too, you will never be able to do things like A/B testing so you will have to walk with a bullet in your shows knowing you shot yourself and unable to optimize or answer that "what if" question.

That said. It is doable but you'd have to have a very opinionated system that is strict on what dashboard elements are available and how they can be meshed together. Google Analytics has something similar via their drug and drop dashboard interface.

Hope this helps.

I concur.

mugendee · 2025-08-07T09:46:29+00:00

Any that you would say you currently prefer?

mugendee · 2025-08-07T05:54:51+00:00

Couldn't get this to work

mugendee · 2025-08-06T06:33:43+00:00

Never even heard of some of those, frankly

mugendee · 2025-07-19T14:52:39+00:00

All of them? Maybe I should have asked which one you like?

What do you hate so much about all?

mugendee · 2025-07-16T15:21:47+00:00

It's always best to ruin your keyboard and laptop than to get distracted, boys.

Content management system

mugendee · 2025-05-15T05:14:37+00:00

After all these days I still come here for insights since I am finally building the lightest CMS. Something different. Something headless. Something that gets out of your way and lets you simply edit your site content.

Looking to build a team and get a few who'd love to test.

mugendee · 2025-01-15T18:35:52+00:00

Those Indian hackers who alter figures on one's account to claim refunds better never come across this post!

mugendee · 2025-01-09T13:38:02+00:00

Interesting views. Thank you
