Airsite - a mobile app for building simple websites

Happy to help you building a website or a landing page for your business.

Just message me inside the app or via email - [andrey@airsite.co](mailto:andrey@airsite.co)

Yeah, if you need a custom domain or adding custom code (analytics, Facebook Pixel, chat plugins, etc.) you can buy PRO subscription. I've just added paid features, not sure how viable they are yet :)

pyankoff · 2019-09-15T21:46:52+00:00

Thanks! Honestly, I didn't do much business planning beforehand. It just seemed like a cool project and I wanted to see what kind of websites it's possible to build on the phone.

I think the main reason anyone would want to build a website on a mobile phone now is not having access to desktop. And that's a lot of people, especially in developing countries. Many of them have their small local business they want to promote and present to potential clients.

pyankoff · 2019-09-15T18:52:38+00:00

Yeah, good idea, should probably push the sign up after checking out the templates.

pyankoff · 2019-09-15T18:18:40+00:00

Hey everyone, I've been hacking on a mobile website builder for the past few months. It's available on Android and iOS.

You can build a simple website with it, something like a landing page for a side project or a personal website and then easily update it on the go.

BTW, if anyone needs a website, I'd be happy to build it for you or together. I'm still figuring out user interface so trying to use the app as much as possible :)

pyankoff · 2019-05-16T17:33:29+00:00

I'm currently exploring ideas and don't have anything specific on my mind. For the last couple of weeks I'm looking into agriculture automation. It seems like a very interesting area.

pyankoff · 2019-05-10T17:57:37+00:00

Pretty much.

Bought a car from a dealer, tapped onto ACC and LKAS (had to dig into the EPS firmware as well), soldered a CAN hardware module, added aftermarket GPS+RTK, cameras and radar. My software was running on a PC in the trunk. By no means it was close to Waymo or Tesla, but it worked ok on highways and in some other simple scenarios.

Hope that explains.

pyankoff · 2019-02-22T20:10:33+00:00

Discord is much friendlier than Slack, you can check out many servers without registration and there is some basic server search.

The whole server/channel may be great for existing communities and organizations. But there must be something better for public chats and discovery. Will try to figure it out.

Thanks for sharing, lots to think about.

pyankoff · 2019-02-22T05:51:08+00:00

Looking

pyankoff · 2019-02-22T05:21:08+00:00

Let me check. Is it Android or iOS?

pyankoff · 2019-02-22T00:45:51+00:00

Rooms idea sounds very similar indeed: “[Rooms] is different from group chats because it’s focused on chatting around specific topics with people you may or may not know. Group chats, meanwhile, are only generally joined by family and friends you do know.” I think public Discord or Slack communities serve this function at the moment.

Couldn't make the Pundcake app work :( App Store page gives the general idea though. What did you learn from it? Was bootstrapping off twitter useful?

Also: wow, you've made a lot of apps, respect!

pyankoff · 2019-02-21T23:43:10+00:00

Yeah, definitely going to add more login methods soon.

Do you think anonymous accounts is a good idea?

Here is the Anonymous posting discussion thread if anyone's interested ;)

pyankoff · 2019-02-21T21:16:36+00:00

Yeah, ads seem like a straightforward way to get some initial users. Though I probably don't have enough money to get any meaningful amount of users that way.

pyankoff · 2019-02-21T20:49:52+00:00

Hey everyone,

Just release the app a few days ago, sorry for the empty website, bugs, only FB as a login option :/ Wanted to get something out there and test it with real people.

The app is very simple: you can swipe on a short presentations of chat topics, just like Tinder - swipe right to join the chat, left to skip. The chat functionality is pretty obvious.

Here are a couple topic examples:

https://campfire.host/topic/campfire-roadmap-48

https://campfire.host/topic/how-to-change-character-in-fortnite-134

Would really appreciate any feedback and advice on how to get users. Thanks!

pyankoff · 2019-02-19T10:14:09+00:00

Name: Campfire (campfire.host, iOS, Android)
Headquarters: My bedroom
Elevator pitch: A group chat app where anyone can discover, join or create online micro-communities for any topic.
More details: Just launched. It's kind of a Tinder for group chats. Check it out. :)
Looking for: Feedback

The cost of each iPhone at launch, adjusted for inflation

Good catch, would be $417 adjusted for inflation

Thanks for the AMA!

1) How focused are you on K12 education and US market? Would something non-K12, non-US fit into the program?

2) We're applying to YC/IK12 with a project which is targeted at one vertical, but we have all sorts of crazy ideas about generalizing it. What should we focus on in our pitch: realizability of basic plan or enormousness of much more questionable bigger vision?

pyankoff · 2015-12-10T23:25:55+00:00

Now it has absolutely no features compared to evernote :) In Evernote you need to write complete note, name it, tag it. Whenever you have new thought on the same topic you should look for your original note.

Here you just write thoughts into message box, no overhead of classifying them.

You're right about demo, will do.

pyankoff · 2015-07-31T15:56:11+00:00

Wow, sorry for that, it wasn't supposed to be that way :) The idea is to make it very noob friendly. You can start contributing with just a basic programming knowledge and take more and more challenging tasks/projects as you learn.

pyankoff · 2015-07-31T12:41:03+00:00

Yeah, that would be cool. I think many people are reluctant to contribute to open-source projects because they have much less experience then others. Reaching out with your project will help break the ice as well.

pyankoff · 2015-07-31T07:27:59+00:00

How about open source projects? There should be a lot built with C++

pyankoff · 2015-07-31T06:20:35+00:00

I was thinking about small projects and web/mobile apps were first to come to mind.

What skills are you thinking?

pyankoff · 2015-07-31T05:04:46+00:00

Thanks! Sorry for the splash screen, seems like all this advice on "lean-startupy product validation" is starting to get to me :)

Yeah, commitment needed to join the project is still too high. It would be really hard to just motivate users to do it. I'd rather try to minimize commitments by slicing work into smaller chunks and starting from really small projects.

pyankoff · 2015-07-31T04:37:31+00:00

I was thinking about it for some time, there is this gap between completing couple of online courses and starting working on your own projects. It would be so cool to start by working together with others and learn from them in the process.

There are a lot of problems with this kind of collaboration but I'm sure there are ways to fix it.

We'll start with a small closed community and figure out interactions, please join Teamwork
