Created Blogbuster the autopilot SEO blogging tool. To boost the first sales, I made this offer which I'm not even profitable on. But nevermind, at first I care about getting first paid users and feedback, not MRR

The tool helps to create fully optimised blogs: seo keywords, custom illustration, long form text, internal links, and read human

Artzain··on I solved my problem with eating well and created an App around it
Cooking was always a source of stress for me. I’d look at my fridge, see random ingredients, and have no clue what to make. After years of struggling to eat well while balancing my day job and sideprojects, I decided to build EasyChef, a mobile app that completely simplifies meal planning. With EasyChef, you: • Input whatever ingredients you have at home. • Instantly get creative recipe ideas tailored to your preferences. • Follow step-by-step instructions to make cooking quick and easy. The app also remembers your preferences, so the more you use it, the better the suggestions get. To grow the app, I’m leveraging programmatic SEO—user-generated recipes are stored and periodically published on the web, driving consistent organic traffic. On social media, I’m experimenting with TikTok and Instagram, sharing fun, AI-generated cooking content to engage users. If this sounds like something you’d find useful or you have ideas on how to improve it, I’d love to hear your thoughts!
Artzain··on AI app intends to become the largest food recipe directory
I would counter argue that:

1. AI generated doesn't necessarily means no quality. Especially for food recipes, the results have been outstanding

2. Google push the pages that are considered quality by users, so if they are pushed it means it would provide quality content

Artzain··on AI app intends to become the largest food recipe directory
I've created this help to help individuals & family get recipes ideas from ingredients they already have at home - no need to make extra groceries

The mission is to help those users eat better (whole food), reduce waste of ingredients they already have, and make savings by cooking more at home

And here's the thing: everytime a user generate a AI recipe based on his own ingredients, it publish online the recipe.

They are around 50 recipes published everyday and indexed on google. Soon enough, I believe this app will be the largest directory of recipes, and all automated

Artzain··on Experimenting new pricing model: Weekly NON-recurring
Experimenting with a new "non-recurring weekly pricing" for TweetSeach

What's the rationale behind this, and what are the potential benefits?

I’ve managed to get over 120 signups for the limited version of TweetSearch (search within the past 30 days only).

To unlock unlimited search, users need to purchase a plan. Currently, I offer only Yearly ($34.99) and Lifetime ($49.99) subscriptions.

The result? Users don’t commit. No sales. It's either product is not helpful either pricing is too high.

So, I’m trying something new: a low, one-time weekly price of $3.99.

While this new pricing comes with downsides—like lower revenue per sale and potentially higher churn since it's non-recurring—

I see some possible upsides: • It lets users try the tool at a very low cost. • A small sale is better than no sale. Sales fuel us as entrepreneurs, giving us energy, strength, and motivation. • Users who need temporary access are fully satisfied, which helps create happy users and potentially leads to good word-of-mouth. • I believe in the value of my tool. Those who find it useful after their trial may opt for the yearly or lifetime plan, which would make more financial sense for them in the long run.

Excited to see if this new pricing leads to my first sales...

Either way, I'm all in for the experiment!

Good idea, will try this out!

Just go on tweetsearch.co :)

Thanks for your question Terry. Unfortunately it can't fetch banned accounts / deleted content

First of all don't take it personally, I made Google signup to simplify the process of as many users as possible. We also have email signup with magic link and passwordless, proof that you matter :)

And this is the only step, no further questions asked! For the 10 free searches that's a clever thought. But it still can be botted by using different browser sessions, vpns, proxies etc... Perhaps I'm being extra careful as well, but I heard some bad stories of bot attacks around me.

Anyway I appreciate you taking the time to explain your thoughts!

That's called a wrapper, where we simplify UI and navigation for users :) From that cynical view, everything you use is kinda the same. Gmail is just a wrapper of IMAP/SMTP, ChatGPT just a wrapper of open source LLM and I can go endlessly on it

Absolutely! I've tried to make all the title & subtitles AI generated, some things still need to be polished :)

I actually had to make a signup to allow a free usage of the tool. If no signup, it can too easily be botted and my fees for results request would go through the roof.

We have Google one-click signup though. Why is it such a painful process for you (genuinely curious to hear from you)

For some Gary Tan provides good insights, for others it doesn't. I'm sure you like to read some influential personalities. You could search for those ones instead with my tool :)
Artzain··on YC criticized for backing AI startup that simply cloned another AI startup
We all know YC may be super random. Just invest on solid teams regardless of product

I often found myself scrolling through Twitter trying to catch the significant moments and the come up from indie hackers, startup founders, or even successful artists. It was cumbersome and time-consuming, and I knew there had to be a better way. That’s when I built TweetSearch.

What began as a tool for my own use quickly evolved into something more: a way for all of us in the startup scene to get more from our favorite founders, whether it's Gary Tan, Brian Chesky, or others, and learn what they have shared over the years.

Ideal for anyone in the startup community looking for inspiration, seeing the founder's story to the top, and discovering which tweets are top performers.

Very keen to know your feedback on the tool or any suggestion you have!

Artzain··on Do All Problems Have Technical Fixes?
One way or another, there must be solutions. I always think about companies sending rockets to Mars. So what's stopping us from fixing a few bugs
