Yes - I'm doing about 33K per month on a SaaS that is just Rails/Postgres/Heroku - the only javascript is some basic JQuery.

Amateur. I make about 35k/month using only bash via CGI and some plain text files as database.

Actually, I wonder if the creator of WWWBoard/FormMail/etc achieved that. It certainly would've been well earned. His stuff was everywhere (I used them a lot too).

Really you should not be checking length at all. There is no such thing as a password which is "too long."

From a password security standpoint, I largely agree. You can open yourself to system attacks by allowing arbitrary length input. You should have some kind of limits on any user input.

Sure, but that limit should be closer to hundreds of characters—not 9.

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

Ah. I dig this. Wish I had more upvotes!

I gave him/her an extra for you.

And of course, that very page railing against Javascript overcomplexity itself loads 400 KB of script bundles.

400 kb is considered super lean these days...

It depends on your target audience. If first world countries with good internet, then its lean. If not then ok on a desktop. Very bad in a mobile.

If that is accurate and the number is based on 7 days of revenue at about $500 per day average this smells a lot like growth hacking nonsense.

Nonsense on stilts. Extrapolating $3500 in your first week of media-driven traffic into a $15k/mo run rate is ridiculous. Calling it "AI-powered" is a whopper too.

Extrapolation aside, making decisions automatically based off of incoming data points _is_ AI.

If the interview is to be believed, almost anything you consider "AI-powered" is within one degree of what is happening here. At least on a conceptual level.

AI doesn't need to be magic, it just needs to be making decisions :)

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

Funny, some designers have actually reached out asking about a subscription for their studio

That's really interesting. In a sense, you can go direct, but the product can save other designers and agencies lots of time. If the client is happy with the results does it matter how the sausage is made as long as they are paying a logo fee and not for fraudulently claimed hours worked?

That time they could save is likely much more valuable than just the one time fee, and constant improvements and features for them could very well justify a nice recurring subscription fee.

I wholly disagree with your post. By your definition, any logic gate could be considered an 'AI'.

You're stretching the term to the point that it no longer holds any meaning.

I don't know about that, I like my artificial intelligence to make a distinction between "intelligence" and "automation".

Without making a solid distinction there, people are going to start calling PID temperature controllers "AI"

I'm curious about how the $15k/mo figure is computed. The story reads as though Logojoy more or less launched on Producthunt, which was 7 days ago. And all posts on the blog are dated Nov 15th. Finally the domain itself seems to have been listed on HugeDomains as of Oct 8th [1]. Now maybe I'm missing something, but it seems like the revenue figure is extrapolated from a small window which includes a wave of initial t…

Feel like IndieHacker isn't requiring any proof of revenue. Does anyone know what, if any, fact checking process Indie Hackers has to verify the claims by made by a startup?

I've had my interview on Indie Hackers [1]. There is no fact checking involved. (But to be fair, I don't think it would really be feasible.)
