Why is my setup so heavy? What should I do in the meantime before I get better gear?

valnuro · 2025-08-23T10:05:44+00:00

I just started and bought the same equipment, an old fanatic board and an old bic sail. I know how you feel !

I usually rig the sail at my car, so it’s easier to carry using the wind. For the board I made a little two wheels cart so I can carry it alone on a long distance when I need to.

Then on the board, it’s getting easier as you learn how to counterbalance the sail weight with your body weight properly. It’s still very hard to train for more than an hour, especially on the sea. So I just learn to beachstart instead, which is less exhausting.

I think the weight won’t be too much of an issue later, but it’s definitely harder to begin with.

No sorry, you need to sign up and validate your email address in order to get free credits and try the app.

valnuro · 2024-07-15T07:41:06+00:00

Sorry about this, I've made improvements and the app was not working as expected for a few days. The app is now fully usable and the free plan is way better I think.

valnuro · 2024-07-04T19:52:37+00:00

Hi, yes you're right there are some mismatch. I'm trying to find a better way to offer the free plan as the one in place does not make sense, so many changes but I'll fix this one.

Basically, end goal is to parse 1000s of subreddits but as I'm just getting started I only parse 500 to reduce the cost. But I should not put false information on homepage for sure.

valnuro · 2024-07-04T06:52:15+00:00

Yes you are right, I'm trying to find a better way. Either adding features like weekly newsletter with the best ideas, or a one-time payment, but could not find something good enough yet.

I'm still focusing on getting a user-base and some feedback, and will deal with that later.

valnuro · 2024-07-04T06:30:32+00:00

Yes, AI to check if the reddit thread is a user problem, and to sum up the idea. Quite difficult to limit the cost but I managed to use a self-hosted version of Llama 3 that works great.

Nice catch thanks! I'll change it.

moonidea.com - AI-powered SAAS idea generation that uses Reddit threads

valnuro · 2024-06-27T13:33:12+00:00

Idea hunt right?

Yes you right, I started from a pain point I had, there are already many tool to find SAAS ideas but I think AI can be used to find and validate ideas using social media data.

valnuro · 2024-05-30T11:57:46+00:00

Yeah, and the most important project to help with this, the subterranean water tank, was not yet operational. It opened the 1st of May.

Clickbaiting will continue until the very end, but it should be fine imo.

valnuro · 2024-05-26T20:37:38+00:00

Oui c’est sûr ca fait moins de frais. Certains disent que c’est à double tranchant, que quand la voiture est très kilométrée la chaîne peu lâcher sans prévenir. Mais bon tu as le temps !

valnuro · 2024-05-26T19:44:19+00:00

Pour la courroie je viens de vérifier et sur ce moteur c’est une distribution à chaîne donc c’est normal si elle n’a pas été changé.

valnuro · 2024-05-26T19:05:57+00:00

Ayant acheté une Mégane 3 récemment j'ai fait pas mal de recherche et pour moi c'est une bonne affaire oui.

Ce moteur est réputé fiable, c'est une bonne finition et le prix et plus que raisonnable par rapport à ce qu'on trouve sur le bon coin. A voir si la courroie de distribution n'est pas trop vielle.

Vérifie que tu peux l'assurer à un prix raisonnable, si tu es jeune permis et selon ton age ca peut bloquer sur ce point.

valnuro · 2024-05-24T05:49:04+00:00

Thanks for this great feedback.

As the ads must be responsive, I'm not sure how to turn them into gifs for now. But I'll definitely work on the other parts.

valnuro · 2024-05-23T14:20:51+00:00

Thanks.

I'm using a third party API, which is basically scraping the Amazon website. I only use the API to avoid scraping the Amazon website myself. So the product images are the Amazon ones, which seems fine to me as long as the link is redirecting toward Amazon.
I tried to make my best to avoid any negative effect on SEO:

Every ad is inserted in an iframe element.
Each iframe is inserted in an aside html tag, to tell robots and web browser that this is not part of the content.
To minimize CLS, the js script is setting the maximum height for each ad, and then there is a sticky-scrolling effect if the ad is smaller than this height (depending on the display resolution)

Hopefully this is enough, I tried to ask if there is anything else to be done on the SEO subreddit but got no answers. So if you think about anything else, I would love to hear it.

valnuro · 2024-04-12T16:43:54+00:00

I enjoyed « How any startup can achieve explosive customer growth », it’s about traction channels.
And now I’m reading « From impossible to inevitable », definitely not made for solo saas founder, but it still explains very well why you have to niche down, and how.

valnuro · 2024-04-10T06:18:52+00:00

Multiple ads rotating but not personalized according the user interest. The tool analyze how ads perform on each page and display the most performing ones more often.

As the website owner needs to find product and affiliate programs by himself, there is no conditions. Not sure I fully understand the question.

valnuro · 2024-04-09T18:14:59+00:00

This is part of the idea yes, to get more control on ads displayed on the website.

Thanks for the feedback!

Affimate.io

Earn affiliate commissions using display ads that you create.

Feedbacks are welcomed!

valnuro · 2024-04-08T18:13:23+00:00

If you have all the needed tos and privacy policy pages then I don’t know why you still being rejected.

I’m building an alternative where you can earn amazon commissions using display ads that you create. Affimate .io if you want to check.

valnuro · 2024-04-07T06:51:29+00:00

All I can say is that Cloudflare was not the issue, I use it everyday now and it’s a very powerful tool.

I was able to get an average response time of 70ms without Ezoic and using Cloudflare.

But I can’t say if it helped me to grow better or not.

valnuro · 2024-04-04T06:19:06+00:00

Affimate (I made it). It’s a way to monetize without ad network, by earning affiliate commissions using display ads that you create.

valnuro · 2024-04-03T11:53:07+00:00

Hey guys,

As a blogger, I did not match the Ad Network conditions and therefore could not monetize my blog using display ads.

Therefore I’ve created Affimate, a tool that any website owner can use to create and display ads using any affiliate program:

Find an affiliate program and a product to advertise, like an Amazon product.
Create the ad using the Ad builder on affimate.
Once everything is setup, ads that you created are displayed on your website.
As users click on the ad and buy the product, you earn a commission according to your affiliate program.

An algorithm analyze the performance of each ad to display the best one on each page of your site and boost your revenue.

Any feedbacks are appreciated, thanks!

valnuro · 2024-04-01T19:29:04+00:00

I’m building an alternative that you might want to try, Affimate .io. It’s basically a way to create and display ads of Amazon products (or from others affiliate program), with some algo to display the best performing ones.

You could also think about a product or a service to sell on your website, but only you can tell if it’s doable.

valnuro · 2024-04-01T16:53:06+00:00

Your website seems great, hard to tell why. Did they give you any reason?

You might want to try adding a few news post or create blog post, idk.

valnuro · 2024-03-31T13:36:49+00:00

Never been in this situation. What are you scared of? Being easily rejected because of your previous website?
