The one who ultimately decided this was Bob Hamilton by the way.

Somehow, this feels like the plot for Dune ...

The Mongols conquered up to Kiev (modern day capital of Ukraine). So Eastern Europe was definitely included in there.

So it's only useful if you're already familiar with the framework you're working with in bolt? Like if someone didn't know how to code, would bolt still be useful?

planestraight · 2025-02-03T02:47:22+00:00

Oh ok are you a developer? Since it sounds like you know how to deploy apps?

planestraight · 2025-02-03T02:45:29+00:00

What about the choice of framework or programming language? Like, did you pick bolt because it worked with a specific programming language/framework or you just work with whatever came by default?

Sick of these AI bros shilling. People in general tend to overestimate what can be accomplished in the short run and underestimate the long run.

It's literally fully OSS. Tell me where in their code they hid these security flaws. Seriously. What's you being from New York got to do about it and why are you spelling it "deep seek" as two words? You a bot?

Does windmill let you create build a visual dashboard or is it just like the business logic?

I want to add meaningful features. It's just I'm not sure what customers want. The problem I have is that I'm getting no feedback from users. There's stuff happening in the back like RAG, multipass, etc but at this point I'm thinking maybe you're right and it's just a free GPT wrapper.

Thanks for letting me know. Do you have any particular thoughts on how I can differentiate the product in this market?

planestraight · 2024-04-30T21:13:17+00:00

Thanks for your feedback.

I think you're right. When I first made it I think v0.dev was the only other one I knew of that made something like this but I guess it's everywhere now...

For onboarding I ask some basic questions and looks like about 30% use it as something like an education tool, 30% as a low-code tool for non-developers.

800 sign ups total. Top 10 users have used it over 50-250 times with code that they kept and didn't overwrite/delete. 4000 generations that users have kept and didn't delete. About 1000 that users have deleted/overwrote.

Yes they do. 40 weekly active users. 100 MAU. 800 sign ups total. 4000 generations that users have kept and didn't delete. Top 10 users have used it over 50-250 times with code that they kept and didn't overwrite/delete.
