    As a solo founder, I know perfectly how difficult it is to market a product. So I thought: Let's work as a group to make our products look awesome. Let's find customers and convinc…

    Great! What was your first successful SaaS about?

    By the way, I couldn't find that site. Mind sharing a link?

    This is cool. Could you please add a LICENSE file so that it's clear what people are allowed to do with your code?

    Should I add my tool to the site? ;-)

    Yeah, you're right. It really depends on how far they are on their journey.

    No, of course not. I'm a big fan of Susan Cain's book "Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking". Introverts are not necessarily shy or anti-social – these…

    Ah, there is food for thought and learning, here. Thanks for sharing, I will try to understand what's going on there.

    You're right. My tool (in its current form) is for people who know what they should do but simply don't do it. However, if it's more like "how???", then you might like this popular…

    Cool thing. Guess I shouldn't reinvent the wheel here. Is there an open source example that I could learn from?

    Build a model? In the sense of machine learning or in another sense? Cool idea, what could that look like?

    No, they want to build and not do marketing, if they could get away with it. Similar to someone who wants to lose weight without exercising. Yes, maybe saying "exercise more" is du…

    I'm targeting people who don't love marketing and are totally busy with something else. At the moment, that's mostly solopreneurs and small startups. It's up to them whether they w…

    No, you're not snarky at all! These are great points. AI changed the landscape totally within a few months. I played with AutoGPT 2 weeks ago, and it's absolutely amazing, already …
