Good luck for your project dude

I fully agree with you, you can absolutely do much more with a 9-5, but as you said it is the message of "is not so difficult" that I wanted to convey. And then he earn that money, for me who is still a student, he would give a big advantage and maybe he would convince me once I finished my studies to take the entrepreneurial way in this area

If I can get 1.2 new paying users per day for the duration of one year, earn enough, to say Okey maybe I can focus on this project, and then scales it and get to larger numbers.

Give it a try www.postonreddit.com
Re:Show HN: 1.2 users a day to keep the 9–5 away on Thursday May 01, 2025 @05:29AM (#43855399)
The main focus of postonreddit is not only to schedule the posts, but to find the best time to post, in such a way as to put your content in front of a bigger audience as possible
Re:Show HN: 1.2 users a day to keep the 9–5 away on Thursday May 01, 2025 @05:28AM (#43855393)
Try to analyze the most performing posts in certain subreddit and see the difference in writing and "self-promotion" that people do, you will understand many things I assure you.
Re:Show HN: 1.2 users a day to keep the 9–5 away on Thursday May 01, 2025 @05:25AM (#43855373)
postonreddit It is not just a scheduling tool, but it helps you to find the best moments to post for each specific subreddit, and I am also working to add more features that can help the posts to perform the best
Re:Show HN: 1.2 users a day to keep the 9–5 away on Thursday May 01, 2025 @05:24AM (#43855359)
I think you should focus on telling a story, your story, each of us has one. Starting from this, analyzes the style of the posts that perform better, use postonreddit to find the best moments to post and here is the game. I assure you that many new users will arrive
Re:Show HN: 1.2 users a day to keep the 9–5 away on Thursday May 01, 2025 @05:21AM (#43855336)
This is the point. You don't have to ask for money, you don't have to ask you to subscribe to your app, you just have to tell your story, the story of how you created your app, make people interested in your project. Reddit must serve to collect not money, those will come alone later.

Somewhere you have to start

As for the texts, I thought a lot about what tone to use, it is true that as you say they can create a barrier towards the user, but I wanted to use a more peaceful liniguage in a way to differentiate myself from the rest.

How can I re -evaluate the testimonials in your opinion?

Privacy-dome is something waiting, I am trying to study and understand how to build and write a decent, for now I have done what I have been able to, in order not to continue to postpone the launch of the app

In my long career as an “almost digital entrepreneur” (a fancy way to say I’ve tried a thousand things online without making a single cent), I never really felt that “this is it, I’m so close, I’ll finally quit everything and update my passport: job title? SaaS founder.”(Small detail: I don’t even have a passport. But I like to imagine that if I did, I’d want something cooler than “unemployed...

Hey dude, try again. If you click on any of the plans it will take you to the registration page. Right now the app is completely free as they are still in the testing phase. So I hope you'll be able to sign up quietly and if you'd like to leave me some feedback I'd really appreciate it
Thanks dude!

Show HN: I built a tool for viral Reddit posts after analyzing 562 subreddits

It took me six months to analyze 562 subreddits. I systematically parsed titles, post bodies, and user interactions to identify statistically significant patterns and evaluate if it was possible to create a model that could predict the likelihood of a post going viral based on specific features.The key findings were unexpected: while the title of a post has a direct correlation with engagement,...

I understand your point of view, unfortunately what I have told contains few words to explain everything behind a thought and I understand that from the outside it may seem like a reckless choice, but I know it will be worth it, if not for this maybe a project for others, but I know it's like this.

My mantra in these situations is: You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future.

However I accept your point of view and how you stated it. It's good food for thought, so thanks.

Re:Show HN: I'm betting everything on this. No plan B on Sunday November 17, 2024 @02:24PM (#42166355)
Here’s my response to all the questions you asked:

1.I’m not just relying on an intuition of mine. I initially created this project to solve a personal need because I genuinely needed it. Once I did that, I started receiving feedback from other users of these platforms (especially Vinted) and friends who use them, and I realized it could be helpful to share it with everyone.

2- I'm not choosing between studying and pursuing my project , the choice I had was to accept the job so obviously in my free time I would have to devote time to study and not to my personal projects, so I chose to devote time to study and my projects, assuming that during the summer and weekends I do some simple work as the bartender or some more demanding work as freelance projects, so I can have enough money to eat and do the simple things of life (obviously without getting rich or creating a savings fund).

3.If the idea doesn’t work as expected, I don’t see the time spent building it as wasted. Instead, I see it as an excellent period during which I’ve learned a lot, making it easier and more effective to develop my next ideas. Moreover, as I mentioned earlier, I’m finishing my university studies, so in the end, I’ll have a degree that could always help me find a regular job, like the one I was previously offered.

Yes, with practice I will learn to improve the products that I create, Grazie for the trust and good luck for your project dude!

Thank's dude, this comment is really important to me.

As long as I can I'll always believe in my ideas

Show HN: I'm betting everything on this. No plan B

I’m 25, way too many exams still to take. My classmates graduated two years ago, and here I am…still stuck in the same place.Not long ago, through a friend, I received an offer for a regular 9-5 job, average salary, 30-minute drive to the office and all the usual perks. It seemed like a solid offer.Everyone told me to accept it: my friends, my family. The idea was simple—I could start working,...

Hey HN,

Just yesterday, I launched the waitlist for my platform that generates AI-powered captions to help users sell on platforms like Vinted, Wallapop, eBay, and many others.

This all started because I was bored... maybe you'll find it useful too!

Show HN: I was bored, so I made an AI caption generator for Vinted

Hi Nerd,What happens when a broke computer science student tries to sell old t-shirts and jackets on Vinted but loses patience writing tedious captions to attract potential buyers who never seem to arrive? The most plausible solution to me was to create a platform that automatically generates captions using AI. And that's how Describify was born.Describify uses OpenAI's API to generate...
