nah man fix the video now you are on hn front page and it takes you all of 5 mins to record a loom
Lol you're not wrong. BUT I do want to take my time with the video. I might be slower than you – it would probably take me an hour+ to tweak it, and find a better song.
I intend to add something similar to InventAI ( https://inventai.xyz ), which is a general purpose creator web app launching soon (MVP). I agree with your vision, it should be possible. Our approaches will likely vary quite a bit though.
Cool! I will check this out! Yea 2023 is going to be an exciting year.
I was going to test this out on an existing repo, but it wasn't clear from the outset that this is next.js only. I have a Create React App repo (with MUI) I'd try this on.
Yes today the bots assume you are connecting to a Next.js 13 app. Bad assumption I know! I am working to add repo a scanner (ChatGPT prompts!) to understand the general tech stack of a connected repo. This will be coming soon.

Great question! So all of the files are generated with either compiles or GPT-3, or if the files already exist on the repo and need to be modified, the bots use GPT-3 code edits to modify the files. $299/project/month will sound expensive if you compare it to starter kits (usually free), templates (usually Also, yea pricing is hard! It may change.
> But I believe Second will feel very close to having a dedicated developer that can build commodity features for you. A “developer” or a “grunt coder”? Or, to use the ~40+ year old terms that even the least trendy places have phased out [0], a programmer/analyst or just a programmer ? [0] Largely because one of the two didn’t really fit into modern development methodologies anymore, since it presumed too narrow of a…
In a sense it's a metaphor for the whole problem of LLMs ... or AI in general. When unlimited compute lets you replace logical deduction with brute force heuristic reduction, it makes it impossible to trace routes and find bugs.
There's is no AI in it. It just a wrapper to configure boilerplate. There are lots of SaaS boilerplate out there like this (gravity, nodewood). I don't know how simple app like this got approved in YC which has 1-2% acceptance rate.
No offense but that demo video is pathetic not to mention the weird background music. Actually, I think the entire thing is way too rushed and you haven't thought this through at all. Are you seriously so desperate to ride this stupid AI hype that you couldn't do a better job at showcasing what the app can actually do? I am sorry for being so critical, but I believe I am right. With a free account, you can do like tw…
> I am sorry for being so critical You should apologize for being disrespectful. There's no reason to attack the founder personally with words like: pathetic, desperate, or insulting their critical thinking by saying "you haven't thought this through at all." You can write an equally critical comment without the vitrol.
Furthermore, "Backed by YC" is supposed to mean something, and this kind of a launch is simply watering it down. In fact, there are several YC "AI" backed startups that use lousy marketing terms - "We're better than ChatGPT", and lastly, Launch HN is not something you can do every other day because you forgot something the first time.
He should be able to take my feedback on the chin and correct his mistakes. Not taking care of basic UI principles is the actual disrespect towards me as a customer not me calling him out on it.
This isn’t grunt work in 99% of web applications - this is THE work.
