If you're still reading this: could you please allow + in the e-mail address? I understand why you want me to sign up, but I have no idea how much e-mail you're going to decide to send me, and sending it to a plus-address allows me to filter it on my terms. There's really no reason not to allow the + sign, unless you're going to do something nefarious with my e-mail address and you don't want me to know it was you.

This was my fault. I tell companies not to submit for an interview unless they're at least a few months old, otherwise they won't have much to say. Because of that + Dawson's reported $15k/mo figure + the fact that Logojoy's story is inherently interesting, I blindly assumed the business was started earlier in the year than it was. Go figure that the interview in which this happens is also the one that gets to the to…

I can't speak for the mods, but I for one am in favour of highlighting the revenue numbers, provided they're accurate. And on a meta-point, I appreciate the effort, honesty and transparency you put into IndieHackers, it's a great resource for me.

Yeah, the ML is still in it's infancy, so we're almost in that cold-start right now. To address that, I built in some more randomness into the algorithm so the initial logo designs can just get the user thinking and then we can get a better sense of their taste as they favorite logos. Without that randomness, the algorithm tries and fails horribly at creating logos. I would love to analyze 'good' logos. I would imagi…

Analyzing pixels is something ML has gotten much better in the near history :) Even if you have a very simple recommendation engine running behind the scenes, you can throw in some convolutions to utilize your data to create a feature space just like word2vec, which would give you great power to generalize. Even putting in pre-trained networks like VGG16 (instead of training one from scratch) could give you a great h…

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

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.
