I’m beginning to hate the same Tailwind UI on every SaaS website. Especially since people are too lazy to even change the main color.

#42I can't sign-up because my google account doesn't have a last name. Django error: Field last_name cannot be blank
sorry about that! just fixed it in a recent push.

#43This is so cool. I'm a Hyperwrite subscriber and would absolutely consider switching to Scraft.ai if it works as well as I'm imagining. Although GPT-3 can be a powerful ally when writing emails, proposals, documents, etc., on tight deadlines, for me personally, I find it's dreadfully easy to get "stuck" in vicious feedback loops as a result of the language model's tendency to expand rather than react. A great editor…
Thank you for your kind feedback!
I wanted this tool to be thought provoking and not just mindlessly watch AI write the entire essay for you.

#44Do I need to make an account to test this? It seems to let me get to the topic prompt without logging in and then insists on a log in.
I'm definitely seeing the trend here about the topic prompt!
Just starting to realize that this indeed is a bad UX choice. I was always logged in when I was developing so didn't think about this issue.
Will fix ASAP!

#45Nice! Did you make the 3d model on the landing page yourself? Any tutorials on that maybe?
it's from one of free resources on figma! It's called "SALY - 3D illustration pack"
Re: Show HN: I made a writing tool that asks questions like Socrates
#46Sounds like a fun idea! Are you planning to monetise this in some way?
I literally released it couple of days ago so I haven't thought about it yet. The costs are minimal atm, so I'm just trying to reach students who can make good use of it for free

#47When it generates sentences like (from the video) 'according to the research in 2012' and 'MIT and Harvard developed Tissue-Bio', is that (intended to be) accurate? Or is that to be taken as suggested boilerplate for real facts to be replaced there?
As mentioned in the info popup, I cannot guarantee how factual/true the AI-generated contents are. They are only meant to be used for inspirations so I would take caution just copying and pasting to the draft like I did in the video.
Probably need to mention that that part of the video is actually not advised for plagiarism issue.
Re: Show HN: I made a writing tool that asks questions like Socrates
#48I think this is an amazing tool and implementation, particularly if it is geared toward helping the author understand the issue efficiently. I would recommend a better voice-over for the video, it is by far the limiting factor of the presentation. Finally, I would recommend adding more plagiarism controls to the tool. People are going to be so tempted to just paste in what the AI summarizes without understanding or e…
I used my iphone for recording, so that's probably why.
I agree to your second point. I added caution in the info tooltip but I have yet to figure out an active way to prevent users from just copying and pasting the content.

#49The demo video was cool. I wish the www/internet existed when I was in high school and this tool would have been a killer app for writing student essays / reports.
Thank you :) I'm a rising freshman with a writing course next semester, and I'm definitely going to use this tool for my classes
Re: Show HN: I made a writing tool that asks questions like Socrates
#50Clever idea. I like the concept, and think it could be a great product. But your site gives me a bad vibe: 1) I feel like the term, "Socratic method" is fairly well understood. Am I wrong? Because trying to rephrase it feels like you are dumbing down your marketing for an audience that... well, isn't me. Which is fine if I'm an outlier. I just thought it was a common term. 2) Either let people try it, or make them cr…
1) I will take note of that. I wasn't sure how common the term was because I never heard of it, but I'm realizing it's actually a lot more common than I thought
2) I absolutely agree with you; I should've given more thought on that. In short-term, I will just redirect users to login-page right away. In long-term, I'm planning on making a 'guest-mode' so users can try it out before having to sign-in
