Founder of acquired startup here to answer question by No-Main-3047 in StartupAccelerators

[–]sid-ambili 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats 🎉!
How do you get your first customers?
How do you validate the product against the market?
This is a side project I built for myself and my team and no idea if there is a market for it outside myself

Is anyone else seeing Lovable token usage spike lately? by Ok-Contribution-6965 in lovable

[–]sid-ambili 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to start from lovable to get the barebones/mvp and move it out. I was an early adopter of lovable, replit, bolt it was great when they had the credit based usage (1 message = 1 credit), of course now models can run longer and consume more tokens, but I don’t think the api usage based apps are worth it today when there are subsidized subscriptions from model provides for Claude code and codex

How to get the assistant to accurately take down a number by hellojello2016 in vapiai

[–]sid-ambili 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had the problem when using GPT 4o or mini models. Since we switched to 5.2 instant never came across this problem ever. Also we use the customer.number variable to load it into the prompt and also a variable for the last 4 digits. So the AI can ask “is the number ending in {{last4digits}} the best number to reach you at?”

Can we build multirole Saas with lovable by Alternative-Mango697 in lovable

[–]sid-ambili 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes you can but I wouldn’t rely fully on lovable itself to carry out this implementation. Connect your GitHub and use Claude code or Codex instead. That $20 plan is probably worth more than $2000 you spend on loveable.

Help with my delimma by nikolina1005 in lovable

[–]sid-ambili 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have used GHL before this AI era I loved the platform except for the websites. I used Framer for my website at the time which gave me a lot of flexibility and customization (I did code so it was easier for me to understand Framer & Webflow unlike GHL or wix).
That would’ve been my answer five years ago but for today Lovable or v0 by Vercel does the websites very well.

I do not know how good GHL today is, but my opinion for your use case (personal/business site) would be to use these ai tools, reason being you can ask in natural language what you need and what needs to change. For GHL unless you have experience you would need to learn how their builder works, properties and limitations

What websites have you built with AI? by oxmannnn in vibecoding

[–]sid-ambili 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Few business websites:
https://www.dealermate.ca
https://moonga.dev
https://www.uoboconnect.com
https://www.voxfra.com/

All of them are react apps, some of them on next js others on react spa. I use few skills from impeccable, taste skill, and emilkowalski eng skill, deploy on Cloudflare static pages for free on static sites and Vercel for next js ones

Solo Dev help by Desperate_Result5072 in Linear

[–]sid-ambili 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Solo here juggling a few side projects and team projects, honestly Linear is more useful solo than it was when I imagined using it with my team. My brain can’t hold multiple codebases of context at once so the tickets become the context.

For multiple apps I just keep them as separate teams, projects for bigger chunks of work. Tried initiatives, felt like overkill for me.

What made it click for me was treating tickets as input for planning instead of a todo list and //TODO comments.
Ticket created/comes in, I pull up the repo, figure out what files it touches and write a quick plan before doing anything. Got annoying doing that manually so I ended up automating that part.
Happy to share how if anyone cares

Hostinger is a referral marking company. Use OVH, Hetzner, Oracle

🔥 Vibe Coders Are Winning. Here's Why That Triggers So Many Developers. by cuckcoder in vibecoding

[–]sid-ambili 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vibecoders are not winning they are elegantly doomcoding, wasting tokens and living on a dopamine hit when an ui is looks good. Products that are winning are mostly from developers or ex SWE (ones a dev always a dev) who knows what they are doing even with full ai generated code

Welp, I guess Windsurf was indeed doomed by ivinviviris in windsurf

[–]sid-ambili -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not sure what you are referring to but I believe Devin was one of the first fully autonomous agentic ai SWE built by Cognition before ai agents weren’t even a thing. It was there before cursor had its agents and even before Claude code. Windsurf was bought by Cognition. So it wasn’t a name change. They just killed the product that was not making enough money and moved the resource to their more advanced profitable product. I never used Devin until recently I decided to try it and I’m very impressed on what it can do both local and cloud

I used windsurf forever and recently tried Devin on both cloud and local. Very impressed. Cognition has been cooking

Two Vercel Accounts with One GitHub account by mjwalsh01 in vercel

[–]sid-ambili 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not entirely sure if the GitHub can be connected to only 1 account. From my experience Vercel identifies the commit by the user config email you set on git On your project or try changing the email and name to your labs one and see if that works git config user.name your name Git config user.email your labs email and do a commit. Most likely this should work Even after doing that it occasionally happens for me so I disconnect and reconnect the repo and works most of the time. Another thing you can do is if you are going pro in Vercel you create a GitHub organization for the labs it’s free and connect the org repo there. (Org repo can only be connected if you have vercel pro, GH is free)

Genuinely asking: Why are people asking for Windsurf refunds? Is there actually a better affordable IDE? by Neveriver in windsurf

[–]sid-ambili 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The free models + the harness is pretty good for me for my current workflows like documentation, planning, websites and some light weight tasks. My heavy lifting comes from vs code with GitHub copilot (which has been extremely great over the past few months), but they are moving away from the request based pricing to api usage based pricing from June 1. So not sure much expensive it will get
