I was recently reading a Google doc called "The $1M MVP" by Pat Walls and just realised how insanely valuable it is for founders. It contains concrete information on what to do and what not to do when building an MVP and takes like 15 minutes to read. It will save you years of time and headache.

Check it out here: https://x.com/thepatwalls/status/1856341863910760727

To just give an example, check out the excerpt from the doc below:

For example, let’s say you want to build an iPhone app. 

Option 1:

- Spend 6 months building an app

- Bang your head against the wall figuring out the tech, authentication, App store approval etc etc

- Take wild guesses at what features to build and hope for the best.

- Launch the app and hope for the best

- No customers, THEN you have to figure out marketing (which could take another 6 months).

- A year later, you MIGHT have a validated idea, but you might not.

Result: 12+ months of work, potentially nothing to show for it.

Option 2:

- In 24 hours create a landing page about your upcoming app. 

- You share that landing page with your network, online, and to potential customers

- The landing page collects emails through a waitlist. 

- You reach out to those customers and ask them about the most important features for them.

- You ask these customers what features they would pay for.

- You know exactly what features to build.

- You build up a strong waitlist

- Then you build the app in 1 month, and potentially have paying customers on Day 1, and you know it’s already validated.

Result: In 24 hours, you got enough information that helped inform your decision to build even further.

The MVR mindset is kind of like a “fake it til you make it” approach.

Sell the dream first, with a super stripped down approach. You don’t need all of the fancy stuff. Fancy logo, growth strategy, all the features, just focus on getting information.

Hey guys. I just added notifications to Huzzler. What do you think about the notification dropdown design? Would you change / improve anything?

Thanks!

For anyone who needs to moderate user generated content: OpenAI offers a free Moderation API. It can can be used to filter out harmful images or content and I'm using it to moderate Huzzler (and it works great).

Thought this may come in handy for some of you.

Good morning everyone. Today I'm working on adding some guidelines to Huzzler (category specific rules and general community rules). The goal of this is to increase the quality of the content and make sure the posts are in the correct category.

An AI will analyse every post and assign some scores to it: e.g. "wrong_category_probability", "spam_probability", "rule_violation_probability" and then a mod can easily filter and remove spam posts or move posts to a better category.

What do you think about this? Any other guidelines / rules I should add?

Thanks a lot guys!

Hello everyone! I want to thank all our first users for signing up and providing feedback. I'm currently processing all feedback and updating the site regularly. All feedback is appreciated!

The next thing I am adding to Huzzler is a content moderation system to make sure all categories have quality content. Self promotion will only be allowed in the #showcases category.

Also coming up is a notification system, so you know when someone replied to your post.

Thanks again everyone for signing up!

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

I feel like more people should be using DaisyUI. I've used it over 5 projects and its simply amazing. DaisyUI adds component class names to Tailwind CSS, providing you with all sorts of components such modals, cards, avatars, carousels, you name it. It's ridiculously easy to use and very powerful.

Take for example uncapped.ai. It's an AI wrapper with 30+ themes. I've implemented this in only 5 minutes with daisyUI. With any other library, this would take me ages.

How do you guys come up with new ideas? Is it an active process or more like a passive process?

Hello guys. I created groop.cc. It's a free tool that makes it easier to plan group activities, vacations, events. I focused the entire app on making the experience as easy and smooth as possible.

To get started, go to groop.cc, create a groop and send the link to your friends. Your friends can then freely enter their available times on the calendar.

I created it because I got tired of the constant back and forth messaging in the group chat to see who is available at what time when trying to plan a holiday or meeting.

The big difference with other tools like Doodle is that instead of voting on predefined dates, everyone can freely add their dates to a calendar. Making it a handy tool for events that may have variable times (Eg. a summer vacation).

It's completely free and I don't have a paid tier. Maybe I'll add that in the future, but for now, I make no money from this.

Feel free to test it out. Thanks!

Hello everyone!

A few months ago, I learned about ChatGPT "wrapper" apps. A ChatGPT wrapper is basically an interface for ChatGPT (or other popular models) that allows you to use your own API key.

The main benefit of using a wrapper is that you will have lower costs and get to use the latest models. This is because with most wrappers, you buy them once and then you use AI models at API prices, which are usually very low.

For instance, ChatGPT plus costs about $20 a month.

When I use uncapped and ask about 100 questions daily to the latest model, my bill would be around $3 per month. And when I don't use it for a month, my bill is $0.

But to get back to the main point, I was looking for a wrapper which had a memory. Which is a handy feature of ChatGPT; it remembers stuff from previous conversations.

The main benefit is that you get way more accurate responses and it remembers where you are from, what you are working on,..

However, the problem was that there was no ChatGPT "wrapper" app with a memory. So that's why I've created Uncapped AI.

It runs fully locally on device, is a one-time payment and all data stays on the user's device.

In addition to the memory, it has the following features:

• You can install it as a desktop or mobile app for top notch experience
• Configure default chat profiles with instructions
• Configure default context to send with your requests
• Choose between 30+ themes

It's a tool for "power users" but also regular users who chat with AI a lot and know to work with API keys. This right now is a first version, which is going to be updated daily.

Any feedback is appreciated! Thanks guys
