Curious, what are the other evidences?

I'm wrapping better than McDonald's wraps tho

My moat is that I built it so they will come

Wow, that's a clever idea! Will try it when I'm back

For the little backstory, I sold one of my app last month, and my assistant is working for the new owner.

She was also manually checking submissions for another of my project, which had been paused since then because of that, so I decided to make a bot to replace her, given the great capabilities of GPT-4:

The AI will control the relevance of the answers and will approve/disapprove it using specific keywords. If the submission is approved, the prompt tell to return "APPROVED" only. If not, it return the reason why.

If the "APPROVED" keyword is present in the AI's reply, then a function to approve the user is executed. Otherwise, an email is sent with the AI's reason to disapprove it.

Really cool idea, congrats!

I agree to disagree!

Yes haha, I made a post on Twitter about the sale and it ended up being super popular, so I think someone found my blog post and posted it here

I used Acquire.com

Hehe, thanks a lot! Prioritization is key, I didn't wasted time on unnecessary things!

Thanks!!

Total revenues x2.5

I launched more than 30 projects, some successful, other not, and I can tell you, when you're starting out, the logo does not matter at all. The name and domain either.

Once you have some validation, sure! But before that, bothering with a designer-tier logo is a waste of time & money. The app is aimed at small indie makers who don't have time/budget for a designer, but don't want a generic vector from flaticons and others :)

Yes, Midjourney is amazing for that, such a shame there is no API haha

And yes, the app render vectors :)

Agreed on the "mom" part. Tbh anyone could generate logos using different AI models, but the main point of the app is to offer a simplified experience

It's really not indeed

App haven't crashed so far, so, I'd say it's doing fine!

I was pretty clear when I sold the app that it needed lots of improvements, and that's why I didn't listed it for more (x2.5 total revenues), the buyer know that

And no, I never wondered why software today is terrible, I'm not a dev, and I'll never be, I'm just a guy who learned to code.

But it's good, it means there is a market for people who like "taking care to make it good and correct", and I'll never be able to compete there. Let customers choose :)

Would be dumb from me to make a how-to guide to replicate it considering it was my only source of income, that's why I didn't put details about it

And believe me or not, it won't change much

I write the posts for myself & don't do editing, I just wrote what was in my mind at this current time

The app generate from 10 to 60 previews, and you can pick 2-6 to convert into HD

Mainly wrote the blog for myself, so I don't put any formatting or try to make it looks nice haha

I don't give much details about the AI part because it would have been dumb to make a how-to showing how people can replicate the app

And yes, my code is prob terrible, I learned to code last May, I'm fine with it, as long as the app works

As for the buyer, I'm under NDA so I can't give details, but he has a very good vision for the app and the skills necessary to improve it. It's faster to buy an app already generating revenues and with data than starting one from 0

Hey! Op of the blog here

To give additional context, I worked non-stop for one month to make the app

Other 2 months were pretty chill, I did marketing mainly, which didn't took all my time :)

But before that, I worked non-stop for 6 months or so, I learned to code in May and was learning + making apps to learn non-stop from May to January

Haha, guilty! laziness kicking, will change it later!

And thanks a lot!

People on the subreddit I found the article were talking about making a crowdfunding to buy a giant laser

But yeah, no regulation so I guess it probably wouldn't be illegal lol
