- Copylime - https://copylime.com is an amazing AI writing tool that I personally had the chance to use.

It can help you write anything: from a cold email to a Facebook Ad to a blog post...

It has super affordable and generous Black Friday deals:

-> One-time $6.99 for 200 credits

-> One-time $11.99 for 300 credits + 25 FREE

-> One time $16.99 450 credits + 50 FREE

not at all but i am considering to use Copylime to help me write my next newsletter issue
you can use the tool by yourself if you want and you'll see

also you should go to Twitter where https://twitter.com/ThePeterMick the developer talks about the product and people interact with him and say what they think about it

can i ask you two questions?

- do you use Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, Tiktok, etc...

- if you do, why do you use them? to consume or to produce?

what i tried to say in my post is that you can use social media to your own advantage as so many other people do - me included - and you can surround yourself with the right people and ignore the negative people who might make you feel bad and annoy you and this can have an impact on your self-confidence on social media. That's all.

“I’m a total fraud, and sooner or later, everyone’s gonna find out.”

Feeling “like a fraud” can be an uncomfortable experience for anyone — especially if you’re good at what you do.

This applies to any industry you're working in and any situation that you might be in.

Do you feel like a fraud, sometimes? Or even most of the time?

I wrote an email issue on my substack about that to help you define if that's really imposter syndrome and also how to deal it.

I gave it a try. Took a picture of my bedroom, uploaded it at interiorai.com and i got very amazing interior design ideas.

I don't have money to afford such beautiful furnitures and accessories but still it is so amazing haha

Indie hackers are not only people coding 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

We have a lot of other things that we maybe don't speak about much or people just don't know.

So I would like to give a chance to people to get to know me.

You can Ask me Anything you want to know about me here and I will reply to all of you.

Hit reply and share fun stories about you too if you feel like it.

I started a newsletter 9 days ago for the first time ever.

Now working on my first email newsletter.

A very personal story that took me so much courage as an introvert to write.

But I wanted to share it with people because I believe there are so many lessons in it.

That's a really big problem yeah. What if you were given the control to choose if you want to get more similar video recommendations in the future by checking a "recommend similar videos" box after you finish watching a video? Instead of the algorithm doing it by itself? Because sometimes you can watch a video and then you got everything you needed from it so you don't necessarily need to watch similar videos.
Youtube Premium removes annoying ads so the watching experience gets better that's for sure. But how about the content that the algo recommends to you? Are you satisfied with it?

Ask HN: What do you think would make Youtube better for you?

Hey folks!I am Amine, a web developer and I want to build a platform to make your Youtube experience much better by cutting the fluff out of your way and make your recommendations much worth it by giving you more control on what you want to watch and not be stuck in a content loop anymore.So I would like to know: What do you don't like about the Youtube algorithm? What would make it better in...

Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me! Well the engineering team at Youtube is working hard but still I cannot understand how the algo can still miss huge parts. I spoke with so many people on Reddit and there are so many different problems they encounter.

- They are used to watch videos about a specific topic and then if they watch 1 video about something else (let's say headphones for example) the algo forgets about their previous preferences and keeps showing recommendations about headphones.

- Some people get recommended videos they already watched before

- Some people don't really like Shorts so they would prefer if there was a way to toggle off so they won't see them anymore

And there are also so many different issues.

The MVP is not finished yet so the minimalist landing page that I made for now is just there to validate the idea with potential users.

When it's done you can log in and use it with your own personalized dashboard.

I am currently making tests with Youtube Data API to fetch the most currently popular videos on Youtube in my local computer and it works. Just to get the hang of the API a little bit then I will start the real developing :)

Thanks!

I am Amine, a web developer for 20 months now.

I am currently building Youtalgo which is a platform that helps you 10x your Youtube watching experience by providing you a personalized feed.

No irrelevant recommendations No content loop If you don't like shorts you won't see them at all

I published a post on Reddit three weeks that got a huge engagement so I think the idea was validated.
