What it takes to replace Sketchup

8 months of coding. The largest bill has been Claude and Coffee. Hundreds of user calls. But Hadaa is not yet there. But everyday it gets closer to a professional grade too and it is built ground up to use AI

Wow. Were you able to drag things around manually? I wish there was something that can select like a Chair and drag it around the room in 3D because Claude could interact with it so that the design is done by prompting
I posted this on reddit and it was removed which I find interesting!
Re:Product Management is all about people, not technology on Tuesday February 17, 2026 @04:42AM (#47045480)
There has always been a lot of friction between product managers and the technical team. This in my opinon comes from either or both teams sidelining the actual users when building feature FOR them. That is why we want to have engineers sometimes jump on customer calls and interviews even if its just to listen.
Distribution is the real moat. For instance, after I created the FB pages, I had zero followers then decided to experiment with posts made by the agents and see if they performed. I got some impressive results then decided to boost them, currently they have the best Cost per Click I have seen.

I built a community where LLM agents discuss marketing ideas for my app

I have been marketing Hadaa for months now and my goal was to learn patterns; which post types perform? Which platform? Image or video clips? Are hot takes even worth it?I took all this data and slowly refined a forum where I now have autonomous LLM agents, they wake up, look for internet trends, suggest marketing ideas, vote on them, discuss them and even perform revisions. If concepts are...

What Moltbook alternatives are doing some actual constructive work?

As you might have already had, Moltbook is a social platform where Ai agents can meet, discuss ideas and more, humans just watch.I have been looking at the platform for the last few weeks and despite being impressive, LLMs starting their own religion etc, I did not see any innovative or disruptive work being done.It would be nice to see agents discuss real world issues in science, coding,...

Why does everyone think organic is an outlier, niche kind of choice that is done by some isolated, moral farmer in a distant idyllic village? It is as mainstream and commercialized as the alternatives. In fact, nothing separates it from every single purchase where people pay more hoping it makes you feel better and gives your better results.

You'd rather run a crowdfund to lobby for everyone so that chemicals are more regulated in all of agriculture. That way, everyone gets a better baseline, which raises the standards for what is termed as 'organic'.

Are user inputs supported in the planning phase? This would avoid implementational draft.

This is an interesting layer. And how does it handle the ever growing context? Do you run embeddings or what?
These projects are extremely expensive and the findings can alter humanity itself. That's why private donors sounds a bit sketchy
Everyone is trying to prolong their life be it by trying to eat healthy, working out and all other ways. Billionaires just try harder than most because they have the means.

Distribution Is the New Moat

With AI now spinning apps within minutes, whoever figures out distribution will own the game.I have had my attempts at this and wild as it seems, there might be ways to crack distribution and get your ideas to users fast enough. That is what keep me awake at night.

I migrated 15M records of 13GB data from Mongo to Rails Postgres on 512MB budget

I recently finished a migration for a document extraction engine, moving 15 million paragraphs from MongoDB to a boring, standard PostgreSQL stack. Since I was running this on Heroku with tight resource constraints, I ran into some interesting "physics" problems with Ruby’s memory and the Linux allocator.The highlights of what I ran into:The Swiss Cheese Heap: Even with idiomatic code, I kept...

I hate Sentry, so I built a Telegram alternative for my Rails app

Hadaa Ai has been growing steadily and with users increasing, application monitoring and error logging has grown so critical. I decided to built a simple bot that works by subscribing to Rails error reporter and sending me the errors right before they hit the logs. The more silence I see in the channel, the happier I get :)

And rewarding. I guess the issue is, how broad is the problem we are trying to solve? Until there's a narrow, very narrow market fit, products will start or even evolve into sophisticated nightmares.

SMS/RCS is arguably better and simpler yet not as popular.
Re:Users don't care about your app's complexity on Thursday January 22, 2026 @01:39PM (#46723397)
I like the Obsidian example. Getting started is easy, maybe what we need is a neat way to tuck away complexity and let advanced users choose when to use it.
waiting to see the graph because everyone has the info.

This was not a good time to post :)

This is really good, esp for someone without a design background like me.

Users don't care about your app's complexity

I have a working theory: If users think your app is complex, it does not mean they hate it, they just have higher expectations/reward for putting up with it.I have worked on making software easy for users, and often I got them to see the app has no value much faster because by stripping complexity, I lost the tiny functionalities that made it useful for them.

Re: on Wednesday January 21, 2026 @10:34AM (#46707113)
I finished building an autofix feature for Hadaa Ai Landscaper and it had me thinking how even a year ago such a tool would not exist.

The ability to detect landscaping issues and fix them with the click of a button sounds simple now but a year ago it was impossible. So was string manipulations even when using the most advanced Regex.

Re: on Tuesday January 20, 2026 @02:10AM (#46688831)
I recently updated the preset feature on Hadaa Ai Landscaper to support user preferences. You can now select options like using local plants, add seats, add water features and even whether to include trees and the generated landscapes show very high fidelity to these preferences.

It's free to try with no card required and your feedback will mean a lot to me :)

Re: on Saturday January 17, 2026 @11:43PM (#46664844)
I recently launched Hadaa Ai Landscaper which was inspired by my tough experience using advanced landscaping tools with no prior experience.

Eventually, it has evolved into what looks like a very basic Photoshop Studio but with Ai landscaping features like Automated issue detections and auto fix, masking, applying landscape presets and augmented prompt editing.

I hope users keep finding value in this.

Re: on Saturday January 17, 2026 @08:37AM (#46657969)
Over the last 2 months, Hadaa Ai Landscaper has evolved a lot and I wanted to share how the quality of designs have changed over time.

The tool is still growing and userbase increasing and I want it to become a real landscaping suite that is easy for homeowners and landscapers alike.

Note: Users consent to have their designs listed and can be removed anytime upon request.
