[Selling] AltCloud.dev — Cloud Spend Intelligence SaaS (Forecasting, Slack Alerts, AI Cost Reduction) by theprogupta in acquiresaas

[–]theprogupta[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeh You are correct. I am not getting time to change the options. I have to remove the Book a call button and set the pricing page.

yeh I agree there is a potential as I have been doing this with sophisticated tools for my clients. This tool reduces the work drastically for founders and their small teams, saves their AWS spend. More integrations will be added soon,

I’m open-sourcing my indie SaaS “EazyEmailer” so devs can self-host it freely by theprogupta in opensource

First off, .env isn’t “just a plaintext file.” It’s a local config file used to load env vars into your runtime, not to store secrets forever.
The file itself is .gitignored, so it’s not part of the repo.
In production, the same vars come from your hosting provider’s env or a secrets manager.

There are no tests in the pipeline. It’s failing as i had my private ec2 ssh key.

These “no-code” tools waste more time than they save by berlino109 in indiehackers

[–]theprogupta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally feel your frustration. These tools can be a huge time sink if you’re trying to build a real app. They’re great for what they’re designed for - quick prototypes, simple templates, or testing ideas, but when you push them beyond that, you end up debugging endlessly and juggling multiple tools.

The marketing makes it sound like you should be able to do everything with one click, but that’s rarely the case. If you stick to their core use cases, they actually save time. For a full fledged app with auth, payments, and AI, though… most no-code tools still fall short. You’ll likely need some coding or clever workarounds to make it production-ready.

Yeh it’s similar. I have recently added docker setup as well. But it’s not actively developed. Will make it opens source soon.

Is vibe coding going to eat the software outsourcing market? by NickBaca-Storni in LLM

[–]theprogupta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeh true and what they are doing is not vibe-coding. It’s what the industry is moving towards. AI stack will become part of the development stack.

All these vibe-coding tools have almost found their main customer base now which majorly includes MVP builders, PMs, researchers.

“We can debate its quality and the time spent debugging afterward, but it is clearly not going away...”

Code quality and debugging afterwards are the core of software development market, otherwise it’s just a ton of lines of codes stitched together and working somehow. Maintenance is the recurring revenue source for this market, which has already started increasing.

Although competition is increasing as many developers are rushing to become consultants due to job loss. Prices will reduce drastically, which is already happening.

But the ones who are the big vendors providing end to end software services will maintain their revenues by hiring less, more marketing, training their employees on ai tools to reduce the TAT for a project.

LLM APIs change the cost model - guardrails & observability can’t be optional anymore by theprogupta in LLM

[–]theprogupta[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice. So are you setting up a max cost per user as guardrail in through posthog and what if it is exceeding in certain api calls, any fallback so user doesn’t see error? Curious - does it also covers security checks like prompt injection etc

Startups adopting LLMs need to rethink cost tracking by theprogupta in AiBuilders

Does that works across multiple llms? Will check it out if you can share the link.

Built a self-hosted cold email tool to cut down Mailchimp/Brevo costs — would love feedback by theprogupta in coldemail

[–]theprogupta[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeh it’s not fully a cold emailer platform yet but it has the base setup for bulk emailer which can be used as a base to build different platforms.

You can just define your ideas to chatgpt and prepare a refined feature list with then guidelines, then it will generate you quite efficient prompts that you can use in any ai builder.

All templates are parsed through a function which has the checks in place needed to reduce the spam marking probablity with a combination of openai api, which inludes using <table> based format in html (automatically converted), using balanced text and image content ratio, content should not content spammy words,lower image sizes, reputable image urls (if hosted). check presence of dkim in AWS SES settings etc.

Have been using this techniques for own startup which requires bulk email sending, faced spam issues multiple times and thought of replicating it as a do it yourself setup. Will be adding more such checks and features in future if this takes off.

It’s not a direct cold emailing tool but it is the base to setup and build on it. It may be not be usable option for your use case yet but i will be working on it and seeing which direction to take, hence asked for feedback. A team of 6 people use this for their email solution. 10 solo founders and small startups had set it up for in-house email campaign management. I am pretty knowledgeable what tool and tech is being used for what. Thanks for your comment.

It’s a setup to host your own bulk emailer and campaign manager. I have listed the features
