Just to let you know, I am downvoting this post because it doesn't feel like a good plug. Every one of your recent post talks about your own project aidev.codes. That's not good way to market your product.

I spent 3 months working on it, couldn't even get a single person to talk about it on here. Totally out of money. Submission completely ignored. Desperate. I think HN failed and all of the hate I feel just as strongly back.

No offence but this comes across as falling into the fallacy of “I spent time on it therefore it must have value!”

> I think HN failed

Is it really HN that failed here? If you really believe that HN is the issue, may I suggest that you consider marketing your product somewhere else?

Hate? Sounds like total indifference. But 3 people commented last time you submitted it 12 hours ago, saying it's great. ...Although, those 3 commenters are brand new accounts with 1 comment only. Are they you?! The way you say you couldn't get a single person to talk about it on here makes me suspicious.

Not an expert, but it sounds like you forgot what I'd say is the #1 startup/business lesson HN teaches - not to spend time/money developing a product before you know there's demand for it, people who will pay for it. That's the advice people would give, I guess, had you asked for help instead of writing this contemptible comment, which I flagged.

They are not me they are clients/friends.

You are totally wrong. Its impossible that there is not demand for this. People still make web pages. People still want ChatGPT to output things related to their Stable Diffusion images or visa versa.

The problem is that almost no one has even seen the web page.

I wouldn't have commented but I think you need dose of humility if you want to succeed as a enterprenuer. You're right people make web pages but the ones your project generates are extremely unpolished and quite frankly ugly. No serious customer would consider them. Your demo is 3-min long when 30sec should have been enough. Your website too is just not very good. I would advice to take pause, talk to few people and understand where you're going wrong.

No one said a single specific thing about the website until I started complaining that people were ignoring my posts. Now after a few people have piled on to burying my comment, there are some specific complaints. Thanks for that.

Your comment is contemptible and full of contempt. My comment was just honest.

The effort you put into something is irrelevant to whether it has value. Each consumer looks at the value to him or her; no one cares about time spent.

I dislike the entitlement here.

Re:Visual ChatGPT by muyuu on Friday March 10, 2023 @04:27AM (#35092335)
would YOU trust some third party AI to develop your website?

I know I wouldn't and to convince me otherwise I'd have to see how can I take ownership of it, fix whatever is wrong myself, config to my liking etc

all of that sounds like a hard ask, esp. when I don't have 3 minutes for every person with an idea, maybe 30-40 seconds to see how I could use it myself and then how I wouldn't be locked into some dark pattern or subscription plan
