Its refreshing to see a startup doing well and not feeling the need to force a subscription on people. I get that SaaS can be a good business model (great, even). On the other hand, I think subscription fatigue is real and you should think hard about your pricing. Dawson is making $15K/month on ONE TIME fees–and fees that are lower than a lot of monthly SaaS plans. I want to see more of this.

It's hard to see a subscription model for logo designs though. It's not like you need a new logo each month.

not exactly just logos but people seem to try and SaaSify everything.

I did all the work and then got a registration popup that prevented me from seeing what I was registering for :(

Same. Developer tools helped me remove it :)

Yep. Right Click, Inspect then Right Click, Delete element on the modal. Then click the left arrow icon (upper left, next to hamburger), then click "see logos" again.

Totally read it as 'AI-powered lego creator' and became terribly confused for a few seconds. But still, someone should create one of those.

AI-Powered Lego creator would be pretty awesome. Make custom lego sets based on various real life things you pick.

Exactly. I'm making 25k month with a SaaS that was built on boring ASP.NET+SQL Server+Angular 1 because that's what I knew. I host it on Windows because I know how to make it fast and secure. I'm happy I focused all my time on building the features that clients were asking for, instead of learning the latest frameworks or fighting an OS I'm not familiar with.

What's your product? Have you written about it?

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

Their is a login form on the website on a page without HTTPS. You should change that.

Also, no HTTPS when you are supposed to enter the credit card details. This stopped me from buying the logo.

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.

Programming languages and systems are basically theorems. The nice thing about theorems is that even when they're old, they're still theorems.

No, because they can literally not run, or contain security vulnerabilities.

I wonder how this compares to Fiverr [1], which actually has human-power behind it, and lets you create a logo for only a few bucks.

What can you tell us about the algorithms you used or where did you start on learning A.I. ? Interesting approach for logo creation!

I don't know about Logojoy in particular, but every AI begins with some variation of rand(). :)

Is that 25k USD? :)
