Really impressive! I feel there's still so many ideas to make a business around if you base it on ML/AI. Being early here could potentially net a huge passive income. Personally I have an idea in mind, and I'm still learning ML slowly on the side. In my eyes this is the true way to independence from "the system" for people who put in enough effort and who have enough knowledge. Why do we not see more of this yet? Is…

I'm not sure this is really ML based. It looks more rule based.

There are 3 or 4 different layouts and a selection of fonts and font pairings which are likely categorized(probably pulls that from Google fonts etc). I smell snakeoil even if this is a useful product. Putting the AI stamp is probably just for marketing.

Hey guys - Dawson here (founder) let me know if you have any questions about Logojoy / the story.

Looks great! Made a logo in like 5 min that looks amazing. Letting me share it before buying lets me discuss with other people on the team before making a decision.

Their website is broken because of an HTML syntax error. Cases like this remind me that success is often "right place, right time." Notch is another good example of bad engineering going far.

This is an especially cynical and petty comment, and that's coming from someone who isn't exactly a glass is half full type of person.

As someone who's launched several ventures, this solves a big pain point and it is very apparent that a lot of thought went into putting this together.

There is room for improvement, sure, but to dismiss it so casually or attribute its success to dumb luck because of a syntax error really sounds jaded.

I'd say these two factors:

1. Most practitioners had to go to graduate school, while many entrepreneurs try to get out there asap

2. ML requires a lot of data, and that's something that big companies have more than startups

I could not for the life of me figure out what I was supposed to do on the "pick up to 3 symbols" page. And I really tried!

Same here, that part of the flow seems like it could use some polish.

Two simple improvements could be:

1. make the "Search for icons" focused when the page loads (so the user sees a caret and that they can type something)

2. put a spinner while the logos load.

What struck me the most is going with the old and tried tools (PHP+MySQL). Nowadays everyone - myself included - is trying to have an excuse to try the sexiest JS framework of the day and most of us fail miserably to deliver anything useful - because of lack of experience or just reinventing the wheel altogether.

Old and boring is still sometimes the best.
