Hi I am Rebal, creator of Tabby.

I just wanted to say, i am more than open to feedback that can drive this app in the right direction. I want it to solve a meaningful problem in a way that aligns with what people want.

Give it a try and it's free for now!

Good bye :)

Hi guys, I am Rebal, a 17 yr old A'level student.

Studying CS from when I was in 5th grade I had a dream to be a startup founder and to proudly tell people about a cool app that I made. Simply put, my innocent ass wanted to be the next Pakistani Zuckerberg. But little did I realised the amount of hard work that goes into just creating something that is functional and helpful, and then crying a river on how you got no visibility.

I started building Ideafloww[1] from end of dec 2024. I was actually looking for more affordable alternatives to a good LinkedIn post generator (since I was posting a lot on the platform at that point) but couldn't find one that was

a) affordable

b) does not make me sound like a robot.

Till that point I was so fed up using chatgpt and prompting it multiples times with prompts that were the size of a book. One of the biggest problem was that I only knew python and my mind was stuck on the madeup fact that python isn't for "SaaS" apps.

I started using bolt when it came out. I used it to create a UI from a sketch I made. It was good but it was not functional. Also writing backend code was also not easy. But then I made some mistake and lost the bolt project.

What could I have done? I started over again, just to find myself crying at 3am bc cursor composer has changed my whole SaaS project A-Z to fix some kind of bug it thought my app had. I lost it at that point wanting to smash my laptop screen.

Somehow, I still managed to find enough courage and motivation to start again since I also wanted to have some kind of SaaS app on my resume/college essay(Harvard or stanford maybe, in future) to flex.

So this time we made it!! The app was ready. The endless nights I spent learning how to code a SaaS app, how to fine-tune AI models and all that, everything paid off. I reached out to few connections on LinkedIn to ask them to test it out only to get ghosted by them.

But then a very beautiful accident happened. I posted on hackernews about it and I got some visitors like about 1000 something. But then, some paid and very expensive directory had listed me on their website (ofc as a way to convert me for paid feature) but still to this point that site[2] has brought us 95% of the traffic and ofc these 300 users.

I haven't made any money from it yet but having an app with 300 users, given that I have failed in building a "startup" 2 times before, this was a big win for me.

I know this subreddit has a lot of people who might have made it in life. So I am in search of some advice. I have my AS level exams in about 60 days. How do I manage the marketing of this SaaS and my college exams??

hey man cool thing, one advice, add a video on the GitHub page that shows how the thing works.

Some advice for you, the landing page should have more info or at least a video of the app it self.

Cool concept. One advice, A video on the front page telling how you can use the software would help a lot.

omg these are so beautiful. I am a photography enthusiast and I didn't knew there was something called infrared photography. I don't quite get the name, how is done?

I think doom scrolling is used to convey that you keep scrolling with no purpose or intention. It's that you want that dopamine or visual stimulation to keep going.

they keep saying about this data war, both are stealing it doesn't matter at this point.

Hello HN community,

I hope you're doing great. Would love to have your feedback on the product.

If you post on it using LinkedIn, don't forget to mention me, Rebal Hassan, or just the website.

Thanks :)

Hey HN,

I hope you guys are having a great day.

If you want to follow me on [my LinkedIn][https://www.linkedin.com/in/rebalh/]

Yeah, it sounds concise with maximum clarity.

Oh I had thought it could go bad, thanks man will solve it and replace with a video.

not quite really, did you try it?

Hi HN;

Would love your guy's feedback on this new tool I built.

It's free for now so have a look.

Thanks.

thanks, man I wrote it for LinkedIn so thought I could repurpose you know so I have this habit.

Hey HN,

I am a 17 yr old entrepreneur

After 3 tries and failing, I finally created this product.

I used the cursor as the code editor.

But this thing was super fun since I learned a lot of new things.

Thanks.
