Damn, he shares his age and suddenly all of the comments are like my first junior job’s worst nightmare. Kudos, William, for putting this app together. Keep a thick skin when reading and acting on the comments and you’ll have a sweet project on your hands
Haven't had a chance to try the app, just pointing out that navigation links for "features" and "pricing" from the legal/privacy screens don't work. Will try to give the actual app a shot later, but best of luck regardless!

Entrepreneurial skills? I didn’t mean to come off this way, just made a quick post showing what I’m working on. Thanks for the feedback.
Note that my remark is more about my own semi-philosophical thoughts on the value of entrepreneurship, and not so much about your particular effort. Perhaps I should've made that more clear. And perhaps I should've posted it to Meta Hacker News, if there were such a place.
Should society motivate people to invest in learning technology, or to organize businesses, both just for the sake of it? I personally prefer the former over the latter, but I can see that both (as well as abstaining from either) have their pluses and minuses.

I can almost agree with you - I'm more on the former side myself. I only work enough to afford food, shelter and some surplus for studying. But I don't see the problem with somebody with more business acumen using the journey to get somewhere. You can both enjoy the hunt and the barbecue. You don't have to pick one.

Nah, I don't buy it. Theyre good enough at higher level skills / comprehension that such enormous failures in more foundational skills makes no sense. the website advertises a product that makes use of web infrastructure signficantly more complex/sophisticated than webmail tied to your domain. It's a zero effort zero cost addon for most hosting services these days. so either this whole thing is a LLM project, and the…
I honestly didn’t know it was free, I assumed you had to pay Google.
The sign up verification email points you to localhost https://llrnghrthzeonfuakaew.supabase.co/auth/v1/verify?toke... Hahahaha, I can't believe I found the meme in the wild!

> Nah, I don't buy it.

So you’re not proving anything nefarious by pointing out those mistakes. All you’re proving is mistakes have been made. You might be surprised to learn this, but people makes a lot of mistakes at the…
It reeks of the marketing tactic along the lines of "my brother is autistic, here's my subpar contribution of "their" work to a subreddit dedicated to artisinal skills" and watch the karma roll on in for them, only to check their comment history and it being a clear case of karma whoring via lies.
this smells the same.
now, if i am wrong and its just a vibe coding thing, then the "im 16" part plays no role, it would be impressive if the 16 year old did this in a responsible way, but anyone can vibe code their way to such a product woth zero real skill or effort, making the "im 16" point lose the context underwhich it would be pertinent information.
Llm's have changed our world in many ways, this being one of them. Imagine someone asks some agentic llm framework a research question, and a series of unrelated tangents later this agentic framework solves a nobel prize worthy problem. Should the human get that prize? Of course not, it would otherwise recognize skills/brightness in a human who doesnt actually posses it.
If this isnt just a scam, then this would be no different.
last example. If someone posted, "im 16, here is my art portfolio" and its all AI generated content, would you care? Would it demand the same response as if this was a gallery of high quality and beautiful work, painted by hand? Of course not.
