I'm not a developer but as a builder, I can sense how much time Defang will save when deploying apps.

Show HN: AI-driven guest research assistant for podcast hosts

https://guestlab.ai

Hey Hacker News community!3 years ago, I launched my first SaaS product, Shoutout, and I am forever grateful to y'all for supporting me massively. Fast forward to today, I won awards, grew it to $30k ARR, sold it, and am now launching another one. Not sure why, but I'm incredibly nervous and excited, so let's get into itIntroducing GuestLabAs a podcaster who shipped more than 100+ episodes, I...

Re:Blubi, the Dropbox for your social media content on Wednesday May 10, 2023 @04:14PM (#35892850)
Content creators shouldn't be at the mercy of social platforms and should have control over their content.

That's why I'm launching Blubi, a social content backup platform powered by AI.

Blubi is like Dropbox but for your social content. It is also your content DJ where you can remix your tweets into long form, short form, YT/TikTok scripts, or a tweetstorm!

Would love to hear any feedback.

Thanks for the shoutout Abhinaya! Glad to have you as our user.
Paddle take care of everything.
Wow! I buffer pioneered many things, a wall of love one among them! The only beef I have is, the page loads so slow because of Twitter embeds. That's where Shoutout outcompetes Twitter.

Our embeds loads ridiculously fast!

Thanks for the feedback Chris! Will make it better.
Haha thanks!
I build in public. Almost all the traffic is organic and since we do share lessons, highs, lows transparently, people love us.
Thanks Andrew!
LP means landing page. Sure happy to share the stack.

For the landing page, I used carrd.co, mailerlite for wait-list signups. For MVP I used bubble.io, Twitter API.

We use Paddle and it takes care of the currency when you enable the feature.

Actually my technical co-founder is better to answer this question.

Thanks guys! Love what you are doing and glad you are our customer!
So on point! Thanks Alex :)
Agree with you. Also we are not asking anyone to form any behavior. People naturally give shoutouts to others(depends on their work) and we believe it should be used to our leverage instead of buried deep under these social platforms. That's where Shoutout comes in picture.
Awesome to hear that. I'm so glad you loved the our idea and the product.

Would love to see a wall of love for Circles for Zoom. Btw big fan of what you are building!

Thanks! Couldn't put in a better way.

What you said about social proof is absolutely true! It is the relevancy that helps people make a decision and through credibility it is even easier.

We believe the same. In the age of information overload building credibility on the Internet is tough. That's why we are building Shoutout. It will dig the unbiased positive shoutouts and help creators, startups build credibility.
Interesting ideas. Thanks for these. We will look into it and implement accordingly.
We don't ask for permissions. We believe in positive-sum game.

Social proof is given in the first place by people to people whose work or service made a positive impression on them.

We focus to showcase that and leave the rest.

True. Our algorithm decides which ones are the best shoutouts you can use and we suggest it to you.
Can you be more little more specific?

The tweets we suggest are high-signal and we believe it will help your product, newsletter or whatever you are selling.

Thanks for checking us out.

We have build an algorithm that curates the high-signal mentions and we suggest them to you.

We have a mechanism in place to avoid the low-niosy tweets.
