Ask HN: How much perfection to aim for?
The idea of generating AI articles was on my mind since the start of last year. A SaaS that will entirely understand your details with just your website & publish SEO optimized blogs for keywords that you should be ranking for, all automated!
I hired a couple of developers one after another who could not even complete the even basics of it in a month's time. That was a big waste of time, about 2-3 months lost. In the mid of last year we started building Abun without a WordPress plugin.
Initially Abun generated normal GPT-like articles. Gradually we moved towards creating better articles & automating everything from featured image, internal & external links, keyword research, competitor keywords, etc.
I tried making the entire process from signing up to getting your first article as smooth as possible. The reworks took months to accomplish so almost everything is automated.
Over this course of time, there have been loads of entrants in this space & it's cluttered way too much currently.
After investing almost 8-10 months into the product we granted early access to users & started getting initial feedback. This feedback consisted of feature requests that would be useful for the users which we are building & launching every week since last month.
But here's the thing: nobody's paying for it yet. I'm not sure what to make of that. You can check out our website at https://abun.com
At this stage, I am not sure how much more time & resources should I put into the product to consider it a perfect fit.
