I changed the title to just 'Stop Trying To Be Perfect' as you're right about it initially being slightly misleading. But hey that's what it's about iterating until we get better and better. Thank you again for input. If you'd like I'd love for you to sign up to my weekly newsletter :) I think you might enjoy it

Thank you for the input :) appreciate your take. I 100% agree not even computers or code is perfect hence the continual iteration of systems and machines year after year.

This is a great comment. Will be implementing this in the next push.

Ok I think I fixed the XCC issue !

Wow. It was working great at the start before people started spamming nsfw content and injecting html and css into the page. Will be taking down the site in the morning and working on version 2. I guess from this I can say there’s some demand?

Perhaps I might increase room limit to 10 users?

I'm trying to replicate the feeling of a hostel commonroom

thank you for this resource :) going to look into that.

first time figuring out opsec !

Thank you for the feedback!

So far from users I've heard they want:

1) username visibility fix making sure all colors are visible 2) removal of xss 3) ability to see your own username (its just "you" rn) 4) dark mode

open to any and all suggestions :) my first full stack app. its cool seeing it being used

ah yes! i will do this in the next version. someone recomended leaving some of the xss elements like the image and video function with the old school chat vibes but I'm not sure what to do lmaooo

How can I fix this?

How can I fix this? this is my first full stack app I've built and it's nice seeing users interact with the site

That’s my mum who submitted that. She was submitting from the perspective of stylistically timeless goods. The wayfarer is a staple pair of glasses that never goes out of fashion

Perhaps repair over replace might be a better concept. Since your right and ironically things like this only make people want to buy more stuff when people probably already have exactly what they need. Yesterday I realised I was wearing a crappy shirt that was over seven years old and it was still holding up great. Thanks for your comment you got me thinking about repositioning this!

This is also my first product I've built thats gotten genuine feedback from users.

I know it isn't perfect right now, but it's a start.

If there is anything you would want changed what would that be?

I hate how many options we have when making purchasing decisions. I'd rather buy a few things that last a lifetime instead of hundreds of garbage products that need to be replaced every 6 months.

Which is why I built:

https://bifl.xyz

A simple website where users can submit and vote on the best BIFL products in a range of categories.

Help me build out the site by either commenting a product I should add to the database or by submitting a product yourself here

Yeah it is

Thank you this is great feedback.

The website is an MVP for a bigger idea I've been wanting to build.

Data is supposed to be sourced from the users who submit and vote on products they find durable and trustworthy.

The advertising section at the bottom is simply a placeholder. I plan on monetising mostly from affiliate links. However when there is an advertisement that would be disclosed.

I look at this like the product hunt for buy it for life products.

The website is supposed to be crowdsourced. I want users to create accounts and upload their own products that they trust. The only products on the site right now are the ones I've been able to co-sign myself. My mum even added some products on the site that she's found to be super reliable.

I don't really want to just pull data from some third party and flood the website with products I or other people haven't actually recommended
