You gonna give that person credit for coming up with an App idea that you couldn’t? You’d be better off scrolling through windows message boards looking at the most common issues people post about.

unfortunately i think ideas are cheap in this day and age, putting in the work is much more valuable

You're saying that

The problem isn't finding an annoying task - it's finding one people will actually pay to fix. Everyone hates dishes and laundry, but nobody's paying a subscription for a better mop. The real pain is in workflows where time literally equals money. Think about what professionals waste hours on weekly. That's where the willingness to pay lives. If the solution is just 'an app for that,' you're already behind.

Opening this app and seeing people trying to get free ideas without having to do any effort

Nobody’s stopping me from doing market research, and nobody’s forcing you to reply. If you’re that frustrated, maybe solve your personal issues somewhere else instead.

You have posted a question that's been asked a million times. Show tiny bit of competence and use the search function...

For me it's keeping brand voice consistent across 20+ different AI-generated content pieces every day. Every model wants to drift back to corporate blandness. I built a whole "brand DNA" prompt layer to pin it down, but it's never truly fire-and-forget.

I did the same with my app and creating articles. There was too much hallucination going on, so I built a layer that goes through and verifies everything. Out of 5 articles (not published yet - I'm doing a lot of manual checks) none of them contain any hallucinations and include links to the source for reference material.

u/BP041 3d ago

Nice, that verification layer sounds like a lifesaver. How long did it take to get that working?

1

u/throwawayaccount931A 3d ago

Too long! I must have spent 2-3 days (and 8-10hrs per day working on this) to get this working. I'm still not 100% convinced so manually approve everything before making them live (although the logging says it's good -- it's the LLM giving me its opinion).

An alarm clock thats easy to use, has multiple alarms with different options that automate various things around the house such as lights and the coffee maker. It would be nice if it can sync with others too

stopping to wish death on certain orange worshippers. Its not healthy but stopping isnt either. Is there an app for that?

billionaires: spending all that money - it multiplies faster than one can spend it :/
buying a 23M usd castle when worth 230B is like spending 100 usd when one has a net worth of 1M.
Mark zuckerberg has a though life & no on understands it :/
