Fixed the login and signup page today. There were some cases where a user did not receive a confirmation message.

During testing, I discovered a drawback with Supabase.

I added an onboarding where users have to choose how they would use the images.

▶️ Surprise so far: There is bigger need for logos than expected

Goal so far is to collect more feedback. 👍

#buildinpublic

Today, I activated an onboarding form.

The goal is to get to know where the images will be used so that I can improve the product in that direction.

▶️ Build with tally.so ♥️

#buildinpublic

Enabled plausible for my personal website and removed Google Analytics together with this annoying cookie consent 🎉

What do you think?
Should I publish a public analytics board?

#buildinpublic

I just found this site which offers promo codes for my SaaS, but I have not created any. 😃

I think the reviews are also fake...

#buildinpublic

Integrated plausible today. Love it so far ♥️

I think I will migrate all my websites after the testing period is over.

#buildinpublic

I just checked some stats for illostrationAI.

▶️ 68 new users signed up for a free account in 2023.
▶️ The average number of users is 30 per day.
▶️ I haven't done any marketing in the last day.

#buildinpublic

I got my first paying customer. 🎉🥳
A small step, but an important one.

My learnings of illostrationAI stats

▶️ Indie Hacker and Twitter are nice marketing channels
▶️ There is still quite a bit of traffic, even if I did not do much marketing.

#buildinpublic

I improved the results by adding a negative prompt.

#buildinpublic

I added open graph images. You can now share the image you created.

▶️ Download button

#buildinpublic

Two improvements based on user feedback 💪

#buildinpublic

I send a mail to the first batch of users

▶️ 66% opened it
▶️ now one clicked on the button

I send now a similar mail to the remaining group of users.

#buildinpublic

Added mobile navigation. Now the app is also accessible from mobile devices.🎉

#buildinpublic

I improved the selection of a preset. Now you see an example image of that preset.

#buildinpublic

Next Steps:

▶️ share images public -> as example on landing page
▶️ improve prompt design
▶️ stop coding and do some marketing 😃

Do you know places where I could get some user feedback?
