Hello all new members. I’m eager to know what you are working on. Let me know and I’ll provide some feedback 😉

Hey everyone!

We are very excited to announce that you can now install Huzzler on your mobile device and receive push notifications. We have opted to use a PWA instead of a native app as we plan on shipping as many features in the coming weeks (problem / solution directory, accountability, marketing guides..).

To install the app: Simply visit the Huzzler homepage on a mobile device. A popup will appear with instructions on how to install the app. Cheers and let me know if you have any feedback 😁

Thanks!

Hey, I’m Harvansh. I’m here to share the real, unfiltered journey behind Unrealshot AI. This isn’t a polished pitch—it’s a story of trial, learning, and the moments that changed everything.

Back in 2022, I started out blogging about AI. My WordPress site looked more like a digital mishmash than a professional platform, all thanks to free YouTube tutorials and a lot of DIY spirit. With no budget to hire professionals, I had to become the talent myself—even if it meant patching things together with whatever I had.

In 2023, I dove into building websites for small business owners. I was not only designing and coding but also experimenting with emerging AI tools. I used platforms like ChatGPT and Claude to speed up development, learning on the job and gradually refining my skills in both design and functionality.

Then something transformative happened. Tools like v0, Claude, and ChatGPT weren’t just assistants—they became an extension of my own creativity. I began outsourcing my brain to AI. Instead of starting every project from scratch, these tools handled the heavy lifting, allowing me to focus on what mattered: the vision.

I built countless web apps using these AI tools, each one teaching me new ways to streamline processes and push creative boundaries. This was more than just efficiency—it was a paradigm shift in how I worked and created.

In October ’24, with a solid foundation built on real-world experience and a powerful toolkit of AI, I launched Unrealshot AI. The goal was simple yet ambitious: to create an AI photoshoot generator that’s actually useful.

Unrealshot AI isn’t about canned templates or generic styles. It’s a tool that lets you generate images that capture your true self. By blending my years of photography with the precision of AI, Unrealshot AI offers a way to produce natural, personalized photos that work for both casual use and professional needs.

• Personal Touch: It all started with my own journey in photography and web design. Every feature in Unrealshot AI is designed to reflect that hands-on experience.
• AI-Powered Efficiency: Using advanced AI tools meant that I could focus on creativity while the tech handled the rest.
• Real Results: Unlike other photo generators that produce over-processed images, Unrealshot AI is all about authenticity—capturing genuine expressions and natural lighting.

This journey is far from over. I’m constantly refining Unrealshot AI, listening to user feedback, and exploring new ways to blend art with technology. If you’re curious about how this all works or want to try out a tool that truly understands you, I invite you to check out Unrealshot AI.

Thanks for reading my story—every step of this journey has been about finding real, useful solutions, and I’m excited to see where AI takes us next.

I invite all members to join the Huzzler Discord. It will be a positive community where we all provide feedback and help each other grow. You can join here: https://discord.gg/rjyj5hj7cW

1. Are people talking about the problem or looking for a solution on social media?

2. Will people pay to solve this problem?

3. Who will be our primary customer?

4. Can we develop a solution that addresses the core problem within 2-3 days?

5. Will this solution add value either by saving time or money for the user?

6. How will we reach our primary customers to collect feedback and get 10 sales?

7. How will we collect testimonials from early adopters?

8. How can we bring 1,000+ users to our website?

9. What data do we need to track to gain insights?

Took me 3 failed products to learn this: nobody cares how amazing your code is if they don't need what you built.

My worst flop? Spent 4 months creating this "revolutionary" project management tool. Added every feature I thought was cool. Launch day: 2 upvotes on PH and my mom saying it looked nice 😂

What finally worked?

Actually talking to people FIRST. Literally joined Discord servers where developers complained about their problems, then built the simplest possible solution to ONE specific pain point.

My current SaaS has actual paying customers because I finally stopped acting like some coding hermit and started understanding what people actually needed before building it.

Turns out marketing isn't evil - it's just listening before coding.

Let me introduce you to Groop, a product I've built out of pure frustration. Every time I wanted to meet with friends or plan a holiday it was a hassle of constant back-and-forth messaging to check who was available when.

That's why I created Groop, a simple and free solution. It works like this

• Go to groop.cc
• Create a Groop (Eg. summer holiday 2025)
• Send the link to friends
• Everyone can select available dates on a calendar
• The dates when everyone is available are highlighted in green

It doesn't get more simpler than this. No account creation required. No more back-and-forth-messaging.

Check it out: groop.cc

Hey everyone! Today I've rewritten the entire image uploading codebase and you can now upload gifs as well. Issues with duplicate photo uploads should now also be fixed.

So, I'm building a Saas to help content creators and developers create content with AI, and I'm searching for text-to-image ai generators I can integrate into the site as a thumbnail generator.

I need a text-to-image genAI api that has a free tier, is affordable, and is great at generating pictures. Any suggestions?

Also, I've been trying to add a product, but when I try to upload I get an error message. Help!

When I started Huzzler, I dreamed of creating the community I wished existed when I began my founder journey. A place where we could share work, get genuine (and honest!) feedback, and actually find customers.

Thanks to each of you early members, that dream is becoming reality. Every conversation, every post has shaped what we're building together.

I've been getting lots of feedback from you guys. Most people want ways to stand out, build trust, and find real customers. That's why I'm excited (and a bit nervous!) to share what I've been working on:

Introducing Huzzler Black – a lifetime membership for creators and founders who want their products to truly shine:

• Your products will visually stand out on all listing pages
• A verified checkmark builds immediate trust with visitors
• Lifetime dofollow backlinks for all your products to boost your SEO rankings
• Your #showcase posts featured directly on our homepage

For early supporters only: Anyone joining now locks in today's price forever and gets all future premium features at no extra cost – including our upcoming database of 1000+ real-world problems, customer acquisition engine, and more. Right now, Huzzler black is available as a one-time purhcase with lifetime access for only $29 (price will increase with each feature we add).

The real-world problem database will be the best feature of all (I think). As I know lots of you struggle with finding a real problem to solve. It kinda looks like everything has been solved already. Being able to browse thousands of real world user problems with customers who are ready to pay will be of tremendous value. And you'll be able to notify them when your solution is ready.

I'm building Huzzler to be the resource I wished existed when starting out. This is my thank you to those who believe in us early.

What features would help you most as a founder?

Hi all

someone on Reddit referred me to this platform. Please delete if not allowed but I wonder why we should use Huzzler instead of Reddit as it look exactly the same?

Hey folks!

Just joined Huzzler from Reddit, and I’ve gotta say—I’m really liking the UI and the overall vibe of the community. Feels like a solid place to be.

Quick intro: I’m a senior full-stack dev with over 10 years of experience. Yesterday, I was catching up with an old friend, and we started talking about selling APIs that provide exclusive data for businesses that rely on raw stats for decision-making.

That got me thinking—what kind of data is actually hard to find online? Something important enough that people would pay to get access to it. Could be niche industry stats, real-time insights, or anything else that’s not easily available.

Curious to hear your thoughts. Let’s discuss.

Hello all,

I’m curious what projects are you all currently working on?

How to integrate TikTok, LinkedIn, FB, YouTube, Ig into a Web app so users can see their analytics on their content and profile? I'm trying to do this but at the moment I'm getting nowhere.

If you've done this before, or if you've got any advice on how to do this, do tell.

Thank you.

Not to mention the amount of bot-like comments. Even the human comments feel inorganic now.

I remember people used to actually ask real questions a few years ago. Asking things about roadmap, research done, funding, pricing, etc. Now it's just 20 comments that all say "Love this!" or "Grats on the launch (thumbsup)"

Is there a dark mode for huzz? And if so, where do i find it?

I've been building my SaaS for 129 days. Here's a NO-BS list of mistakes I made (and lessons I learned)

1. Prepare legal ground

Have an LLC or some other legal entity so you can collect payments and bypass limitations you'll most definitely run into, if not on this SaaS, then on the next one.

I didn't think about it until I faced APIs such as Meta API or Stripe which required a legal entity. You can always open an LLC remotely in USA, there are many companies that provide this service. It will typically cost you around $500. If you want recommendation on a service I used, DM me.

2. Analyze the market and your competitors before committing your resources

I didn't analyze the market properly. I looked at 4-5 big competitors and their features and that was it. As I kept building, I encountered more and more competition in the space, and it wasn't until the 4th month that I fully realized how crowded this space really is.

To be fair, I didn't know how to do proper research.

If I were starting over, here's what I'd do:

1. Go to AlternativeTo
2. Search your top 5-6 competitors
3. Compile all their alternatives into a table

Here you go, this is your competition. It will include big names as well as small indie hackers like yourself. Study them and figure out where you fit.

If you still want to continue, move on.

3. Select a dead domain name

I was careless with my first name. At the end of 3rd month I had to bite the bullet and spend a few days to re-brand everything, and to start the SEO game from scratch.

Make sure the name you're selecting is a dead name. Nothing significant should appear on Google. Make sure the social media handles for this name are available. Make sure there are no other services, especially in the same niche, that have a very similar name.

Brainstorm the name with ChatGPT. Brainstorm the name with friends. It's easy to get attached and get biased toward a name. You need 3rd party view on this.

4. Start with a Waitlist

Setup simple UTM and Referral tracking.

Ask for the name so later you can make the emails more personalized.

Bare minimum for your waitlist: target audience, feature list, "how it works", and FAQ.

You can start with just text. When you have something to show, put a screenshot/video there.

Add "Welcome" email to the waitlist. As such, you 1) warm up the mailbox and 2) you can see if any emails bounced.

Promote the waitlist on reddit/linkedin/X. Best source for me was Reddit. You can promote even on subreddits which do not allow promotion, if you do it smart. I made some posts on subreddits without including a link to the waitlist, and people reached out to me via DMs asking for a link.

5. ENGAGE WITH YOUR WAITLIST

Seriously, just do it. Those people signed up. Every week you make something new, you can share it with them. Send a biweekly update on the progress.

I kept silent for 2.5 months before I engaged the waitlist. And when I finally did, what happened? Crickets...

6. Choose proven stack

Put your ego aside. Seriously. Just choose what works.

I spent so much time simply because my stack was not optimal. In particular, Vue and Nuxt, which I use, are great frameworks, but they lack in community.

7. Choose an SSR framework for landing page

This one may be obvious to some, but it cost me a week separating my landing page from the app so I can get SEO benefits. Don't be me.

8. Choose proven hosting

I spent several days to relocate my backend from fly.io to render.com because fly.io turned out to be ridiculously slow.

9. Start the SEO game early

Warm up your domain authority. Spend a few days to submit your Waitlist/MVP into directories. Write/generate SEO friendly high quality articles. Optimize your landing and blog page for SEO.

There is absolutely no reason to not invest a few 2-3 days into it early on unless you're still in the experimentation phase.

10. Once your MVP is out, you will get at least a few regular users. Engage with them

Listen to what your users say. Engage with them. Ask how they are doing. Ask for improvement ideas. Ask for feedback. Check up on them from time to time. You first 5 users are very important. When you fully release, consider leaving them as free users. They will become your cheerleaders.

11. Do not code. Instead, PLAN

Think like an architect. Only code to validate hypotheses or prove something works, but once it does, don't rush into building the full ap. Pause. Design first.

Look, these days AI writes 80% of the code. But it doesn't know your vision. If you don't plan the big picture, you'll end up refactoring endlessly.

Start with your data model. Seriously, I spent weeks reworking mine. And I've had plenty of smaller refactors that could have been avoided had I put more thoughts into planning.

Think. Plan. Then build.

12. Do not waste time on UI

Just accept that your MVP UI does not matter. When the time is right, you will change it anyway. Don't spend time on the UI on the first version of the app. Just make it simple and clean, but don't overdo it.

13. Look for out of box solutions when possible

I spent 5 days developing custom billing portal only to find out that Stripe provides it out of box. It took me less than 2 hours to integrate the OOB one.

14. Simplify, simplify, simplify

Can't emphasize this enough. I know this is hard. Your backlog will grow. You'll have more and more ideas. But you have to stay razor sharp. Focus on one specific problem. Whenever you can, look for short cuts.

80% of time the right decision to whatever dilemma you're having is to simplify.

If this helped you — let me know what resonated.

Or tell me what you wish you knew before launching 🚀
