The next one was Lonesome Dove, this was my first time reading a western and I didn't think I'd enjoy it as much as I did. The book is also absolutely hilarious and has one of my favorite characters in a book(shoutout to Gus).
I'm currently reading The Count of Monte Cresto and, boy, it's turning out to be quite the epic tale of revenge(no spoilers please!).
It was clear to me that a marketing harness was needed around the LLMs for this purpose, and so Feral was born.
I built roughly 10 apps over the past year. Building them was the fun part; consistently marketing them was where my energy disappeared. I also couldn’t justify hiring an agency for every small project. I tried using ChatGPT and Claude, but getting one good result was very different from getting consistently good results every day. I still had to find the angle, write the prompt, judge the...
I tried using ChatGPT and Claude, but getting one good result was very different from getting consistently good results every day. I still had to find the angle, write the prompt, judge the output, repair it, and return tomorrow with another idea.
And thus, Feral was born - it's a content creation engine that generates text + image creative to promote your stuff, in a manner that's conducive for social media.
The entire harness around Feral's content creation pipeline consists of marketing, copywriting and psychology principles. It understands your business, but equally importantly, it understands what your customers tick; their dreams and desires, and then it creates content that speaks in their language.
You can try it here:
There is a 5-day free trial, then it is $45/month.
I would genuinely appreciate feedback!
I built it because I’m terrible at content creation and had a graveyard of under-promoted apps that never went anywhere. I know showing up consistently on socials matters, but I also have a strong aversion to AI slop, so I’ve spent a lot of time and money making the output feel less sloppy.

So I really love building apps. If you dig through my post history, you’ll find a small graveyard of launches to prove it.Marketing(or marketers) and I, however, have never gotten along. I can build the product. Writing the "look at me, I made a thing" post has always felt stressful and a little nauseating.So I built FeralHq.Feral is an agentic system for generating social media content for...
I don't have a complete answer for this and I think this is an extremely complicated and multi-faceted problem. From my vantage point, I know a lot of people who can afford to have kids but their mantra has been "Now is just not the right time" as they spent their 20s imbibing in casual flings and evanescent relationships. I was one such person. Now that I am in my mid 30s, the desire for casual sex has been replaced by attaining financial freedom. My desire for wanting more and more is something I am not proud of, but I am not doing anything to change, so what does that say about me ?
Some say the world will end in fire, some say in ice, from what I have tasted of desire, I hold with those who favor fire
I recently released what I think is an incredibly fun brain training app. It's heavy on toilet humor, but the goal is to improve your working memory, processing speed, and mental math. It's called Turd Turf and it's completely free to play- you can check it out here: https://turdturf.app
In my defense, my niece thinks it's hilarious (my sister is horrified). I wonder what HN thinks.. I welcome any and all feedback, but note that the app is in beta!

What I recently built but didn't find a successful product market fit:
-https://wordazzle.com: A word game that's designed to expand your vocabulary with exceptional words.
-https://spicychess.com: Chess, meet boxing! Imagine playing chess BUT you can also smack your opponent. Now, if you smack em enough times to drain their health completely(yes, you have a health bar), you can steal their turn. It's fun, a little evil, but after thousands of $ spent on marketing, never found critical mass.
I've actually built my own variation of n-back(triple n-back), where you're tested on the colour of the stimulus in addition to the sound and position-so it's much more cognitively demanding. If you're interested, you can check it out here: https://mind-workout.pages.dev
https://spicychess.com: A real-time chess playing app where you can taunt your opponent and smack them during the game! If you smack them enough times to completely drain their health, you can steal their turn and make their move. There is also has a progression system where leveling unlocks increasingly fun abilities designed to torment and troll your opponent.
https://wordazzle.com: Inspired by the quote 'the limits of my language are the limits of my world,' it's a daily game delivering 7 carefully chosen, sublime words designed to genuinely elevate your verbal prowess. You can also save the words you love as flashcards to review them later!
Wordazzle was born from my desire to learn as many elegant words as possible. The devil truly is in the details, and what constitutes "elegant" isn't exactly trivial to pin down. After a lot of prompt-tweaking, temperature fiddling, and experimenting with different AI models, I'm quite satisfied with the output, which I humbly present to HackerNews(again).Hope someone else finds this useful!
I've benefited so much from this protocol that I created a mini app just for myself (https://mind-workout.pages.dev/)* as I was unable to find a suitable app for mac. [On windows there 's Brain Workshop (https://brainworkshop.sourceforge.net/)
*This is a variation of the n-back task called triple n-back, which is much harder than dual n-back.
Hello! This was a fun little project to help me explore the OpenAI API space. The questions are generated by GPT 4o and refreshed daily! The project is hosted on CF Pages, with CF Workers as the backend and CF KV Store as the database. I would love any feedback! Cheers (:
