Agree with that, the startup lawyer I used to use now charges $1,100 / hour which is untenable, would much rather get the basics covered by an AI lawyer.

I envision lots of solo coders now able to compete with bigger companies, creating more niche software that meets peoples need better than generic solutions. Truly exciting time to be in software.

Automattic going strong 20 years later and founder still recruiting on HN, thats cool :)

exactly this. All of the well documented specs I wrote years ago are now fully coded apps after a copy and paste. What a time.

Gave it a whirl and it certainly did the job, albeit a bit basic in its implementation. Would love to see it veer into being a bit more creative in its choices (maybe you can have an input for a more chaotic input like they do in midjourney. Congrats on launch! This is very cool

Congrats on launch! Definitely interested to see where you go with this. What I was looking for on the site was more about what the differentiators are compared to the standard planes in the category. A bit more about that and the mission would go a long way (some of what you say here should be on the site). Live reaction here: https://youtu.be/oklA3qnTbsc

Big fan of Martin personally. One of the few startups I enjoyed and then invested in. Mostly use it for creative brainstorming and talking through ideas. On a morning walk I can cycle through ideas and when I get back to my laptop I have a bunch of research done. Team has been cranking for a while so looking forward to the updates.

Used it this morning and had a few quick thoughts:

1) Love the feed, realized its nice to see other random games i have no connection to. Wouldn't have thought it would be entertaining but its great.

2) Export video to camera roll: im sure some folks will want to export the whole thing (update: now i see that you can do it when you full screen it, may want to move that to the menu on the video processing screen).

3) Creating sharable clips that are branded can definitely help grow the app. Seems like you may be able to identify types of highlights, so mashing them up, with some graphic overlays and voiceovers (think play by play with elevenlabs). Have a few folks who work in this space for sports teams that may be able to give some guidance.

4) Turning the screen off while recording is a brilliant feature and is reassuring

5) Realtime scoring is likely harder but would be a killer feature.

Love this, all the best on the development!

Amazing. Pitched something like this to a friend a few days ago and its awesome that you've built it. Headed to a game now and down to use it and give feedback (im in two groups and both have people setting up phones to record). Now add in an AI ref so people can stop arguing for 10 minutes over wether someone stepped out of bounds or not in a pickup game.

This is from their PillPack acquisition?

Nice work! I kind of do this with google and reddit already sometimes, as a well written explanation for why someone likes a particular item plus the upvotes do help me make decisions.The format looks pretty good, woudl just like to have a view of all the products at once in a comparison if possible.

The concept of a search that is multi layered is something I see The Browser Company and others doing to make your one search a bit more impactful, so kudos for going in that direction as well. I would do restaurants and search availability as well.

I use stable diffusion and LoRAs frequently so I'm wondering what you hope to offer beyond that? I would love to see something that develops 3d models from these generations, is that the area you're looking to explore? More thoughts here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18eIfWb0wug

Congrats on launch! From reading a bit more about what you're doing, I do think there is something there with creating presentations that are evergreen, something beyond just a geckoboard dashboard that lives on past just creating a presentation one time. Do you have an idea of the main types of users who would want to use this? More thoughts https://youtu.be/cwjm6JhS5ZE

Looks like a useful tool, I know some other ones exist for lawyers so probably need to address why this is an upgrade over those old school ones. A bit of social proof/case study would help, but overall seems like you have a product with a clear market and a value prop that is easy to express. Best of luck!

I like the vision around changing how companies communicate, webpage could give more of the theory side of things as you develop the product. Didn't fully understand the typical user flow or what kinds of posts are expected (i.e how it would differ from what you put on slack or a task tracker).

Love the concept of this, are there any low hanging fruit of complicated workflows that are difficult to setup that you see as the first use cases? More thoughts here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7HXgiRuWzQ

Love the vision here, always worth a stab at dethroning something this entrenched that everyone seems to dislike so kudos for the swing at it. Feature-wise, pulling in information about the folks i'm interacting with and having customizable views is what I would gravitate towards (especially if you can pull in the person's other social info). In terms of the site, you did this on your about page a bit but what you described here in your description is what people will want to hear (not necessarily the part about Salesforce but your vision of creating something with modern UX with this capability).

This is excellent. Definitely useful and well communicated on your site. Curious where you want to expand it, seems like it can be used to track not just your own apps but the apps of others and track information and new UX from competitors as well (I've seen apps like ChangeTower for the web). Is this the direction you're planning to take this? More initial thoughts here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FrLNG2vtxsA

Love this. Used jukedeck in the past and did a comp sci for music class at CMU way back in the day. After reading I understand your focus may be on people who would already classify themselves as musicians but I think theres definitely a world where you are making it easier for the amateur who makes music for recreation or are musicians in training (same market as Artiphon who I have worked with). One element of the UX as you describe is that text may be difficult, would you imagine having input being described the way some artists do with humming and audio descriptions? Something along the lines of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhOsxMhe8eo

I put together my initial thoughts here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nAZAWBw7c7o

Appears to be about $341k

""A Securities and Exchange Commission filing said Huffman in 2023 got a salary of $341,346, which is relatively low for a CEO of a major public corporation. In February, this was raised to $550,000. He also got a $792,000 bonus last year based on Reddit's user numbers, revenue, and a type of profitability known as adjusted EBITDA that excludes certain expenses."

"The bulk of his compensation package is now in restricted stock units and stock options. A lot of this compensation is based on Huffman staying at Reddit through late 2028, and some is triggered by completing Reddit's initial public offering, the SEC filing said.

Half of the stock options vest at $25.29, a relatively easy bar to reach. The other half vest only if Reddit shares reach $45, $60, and $90 in public-market trading over 10 years, the SEC filing says — that's a higher bar and aligns the CEO's interests with shareholders."

Pretty reasonable take on the pro/cons of bootstrapping vs vc. One thing to add (and the reason why I started a conference for bootstrapped founders) is that the stories that get pushed often times are ones of investment, the articles you see are on this fundraising process so many see that as the standard way. The more you delve into these stories of companies that survived off of growing on revenue, the more you see whats possible.

I sold my car to Carvana and it was clear to me that they were not pricing cars properly, there is no way they were going to make money on it.

Have seen this a lot in the conference I run on the topic. Sometimes it’s on purpose but most times it’s just not being able to cross the series a chasm. If you have mostly angels this works pretty well as it sets you up to make everyone happy in a smaller exit.

Partiful.com has been pretty good for me

Nailed the real important part, the product marketing

Love this. I recently started working on two apps with this same mindset: I just want to create an app for myself (todo with limits, group chats with content limits). It feels great and is enjoyable even if it doesnt get a million users.

Awesome! Appreciate that. The Teespring story is a good episode of the new podcast coming out in February: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTPTBDQGPSQ
