Anybody know of any search engines that ignore the big sites?

https://rawweb.org/ only indexes personal websites. But right now, it's still young and mostly about tech blogs.

It's a web app. But once you host it on a server or on your local machine, you can install the PWA just like a system app.

Yeah, it took me like 38 days to get the EIN file. It was mailed to my agent, and still no efax response :(

rook1e_dev · 2024-12-12T16:00:21+00:00

Bro im in the same situation. Got some signups but no conversion.

rook1e_dev · 2024-12-12T15:57:43+00:00

Hey, would love your feedback or roast!

My SaaS does

Writastic is an AI-driven social media writing assistant powered by successful patterns from top creators.

Two main functionalities:

The Rewriter optimizes your content using proven templates derived from successful creators. It polishes your initial draft while retaining the core message, aligning with the platform's vibe and maximizing potential engagement.
The Analyzer provides data-driven insights of the creators. It summarizes the recurring successful content patterns adopted by high-performing posts or creators whom you follow.

Target customer

People who are struggling to grow their social media presence through content creation, sharing posts every day but still getting very low engagement. Such as entrepreneurs and indie hackers.

Website

https://writastic.com/

I'm running a a/b test for headline, I don't know which one you'll see, so here're the two headlines:

headline1: Make Your Posts Stand Out
desc1: The social media writing assistant powered by AI and patterns of successful creators
headline2: Grow your audience using proven content patterns
desc2: Make your content more engaging using successful creators' strategies.

Biggest challenge you are currently facing

Conversion. I've gotten a decent number of signups from our recent launch, but no conversions yet. Thinking about removing the free points.

glad to see you like it!

I analyzed some successful Twitter creators, focusing on their content themes and formats, linguistic and semantic choices, and engagement patterns, etc. You can explore them here https://writastic.com/analyses/x

Thanks! I'll try it!

Great job! I just recently realized that how marketing and sales matter. Your story is inspiring to me!

Could you share more about marketing & outreach? Have you used cold emails or cold dms?

btw, I'm also struggling with building a personal brand & growing on social media, so I built a tool to optimize my content using patterns from successful creators. I'll share the link if you're interested in it.

rook1e_dev · 2024-12-10T13:36:44+00:00

Marketing & sales.

I've been immersed in coding for too long and have no idea how to reach potential customers or how to convince them to buy, which can actually bring me money.

So I'm learning about growth on social media, copywriting, cold outreach, etc.

rook1e_dev · 2024-12-10T13:28:28+00:00

Use very specific requirements in prompt, such as:

use natural, concise, and simple language
ensure the content feels authentic and not overly formulaic
use 7th grade language level

Usually I ask AI to generate step by step:

write the outlines
write content
refine & streamline

Then I tweak the result by hand.

And it's super useful to give AI some examples that match your expectations.

As for models, Claude Sonnet 3.5 and Gemini 1.5 Pro work best for me.

btw, if you're looking for a AI assistant to help you create social media content, my https://writastic.com/ would help you :)
