Not concerned at all ^^; "he built the website in 24 hours" is great marketing for Claude. Now everyone wants to try building their own website the same way and burn tokens.

My Launch on Product Hunt: The Good, the Bad and the Bots

Launch StrategyAt this point I have completely given up launching on PH, but I'm still posting each new product there for the backlink. I barely open it and even protest voting unless it's a product from a person I know and want to support.I didn't prepare and just posted Text2Note. I posted intentionally on Saturday thinking it would increase the chance to get featured, but still that chance...

Thanks.
Hey, thank you!

Also, great suggestion. In the meantime, the red notes are definitely ones of importance (like risks and urgent matters, depending what kind of document you are analyzing).

Show HN: Text2Note – AI summaries that link back to original text

https://text2note.com

I was learning modern web dev (TypeScript/Vite/Vercel), so I built Text2Note - an AI summarizer with one key difference: click notes to jump back to the original text. Why it’s useful:- Click any note to see its exact source- Color-coded insights (facts, arguments, questions)- Exportable notes (Markdown/JSON/PDF)- Made for students, lawyers, designers, and devsPricing: $4.99/month (charging...

Since the app is new, I added a -50% early bird discount.

I’m new to macOS app development, but I’ve always wanted to build one. Now, I’ll probably end up building many more :D
Re:Would you pay $19 for this Mac menubar app? on Sunday December 22, 2024 @05:13AM (#42485472)
Thanks! I plan to experiment with the price before settling on one.

Totals is not about recreating dashboards which already exist. It is a quick overview for people managing multiple payment platforms, avoiding the need to log in to multiple dashboards just to check earnings.

You make a great point about how feedback on price can differ between an actual buyer and a spectator.

Got it. Notifications are optional, and it can stay as minimal as a clock, always there and never in the way.
Re:Would you pay $19 for this Mac menubar app? on Sunday December 22, 2024 @05:01AM (#42485433)
Hmm, this is good feedback.

I see it more like a motivation for creators and a way to skip logging into dashboards.

Would you pay $19 for this Mac menubar app?

I recently developed TotalsApp.com, a macOS menubar app that pulls real-time revenue from Stripe, Paddle, Gumroad, Lemon Squeezy, and Polar. It shows your earnings at a glance without needing to open dashboards or log in.It’s a one-time purchase for $19, and you own it forever.I’m curious, do you think this is fair for creators and small business owners? If not, what would you pay?

Show HN: Track revenue in real-time from Stripe, Gumroad, Paddle, and more

https://totalsapp.com

I built this app to solve a problem I had: keeping track of revenue across multiple platforms.It gives real-time insights and notifications whenever revenue changes. It supports Stripe, Gumroad, Paddle, Lemon Squeezy, and Polar, making it easy to switch between platforms without logging in or juggling multiple accounts.Your data stays private, everything runs locally, and it’s a one-time...

Re:Show HN: Revamping UI Faces with AI-generated avatars on Wednesday November 29, 2023 @10:35AM (#38460691)
Hey everyone, just wanted to share a bit more about the recent update to the UI Faces plugin for Figma.

As some of you might know, UI Faces has been a helpful resource for designers over the years. I decided to make a significant change and shift the focus to AI-generated avatars. This is a departure from using aggregated third-party content, allowing for more unique and diverse avatars.

I'd appreciate your feedback, especially on:

1. How do you perceive the quality of the AI-generated avatars? 2. Thoughts on offering the product for free, considering its 200k+ total and 600 daily active users only on Figma? 3. Which other tools would you like to see UI Faces integrate with?

Thank you for pointing that out, you are absolutely right. We'll make sure to test the copy examples with more people and improve them.
Thank you. We are two designers working on this project, Zlate made the design and I did the coding.
It's not AI. It's carefully written content that converts and is engaging to read. Also much cheaper.
Hi, I am Alex and together with Zlatko we've started a project that will help ourselves and our fellow designers when struggling with microcopy or marketing slogans. I can simply describe it as "having a personal copywriter beside you".
