These are not startups, most aren’t even products.
I hate to nitpick, but when the https://chunk.run/ start button is typoed "Strat Now", I have to wonder how many corners were cut to launch 9 startups in a year.
I'm struggling to think of a way that GitHunt service can be used in a way that isn't malicious. I say that because a common grey market is to sell email addresses to spammers, and that's the only target audience I can see using it. Not trying to be a dick, just worried that this service can be harmful for a lot of people.
This is an idea I've been toying around with; this hard part is just coming up with and/or validating ideas. On top of just cranking things out to keep you sharp, I particularly enjoy just being in contact of people in different industries.
How can you attract users when most of these products are not available for trial?
Are those products or just individual features wrapped within a domain name?
You could make a nice living covertly selling the AI "startups" to wealthy folk who just want bragging rights about being founders.
And how'd it go? :)
This is definitely a entrepreneurial model that will work in the coming years. Establish a bunch of base businesses / MVPs, document them well, schedule recurring conversations with your AI to sync about the topic aka "conversational journaling/logging", then let all the agents get to work based on the new context provided.
@theo_champion nice list, but would love to see a write-up on your journey!
You can use dynamite to edit the "strat now" from chunk
congrats on building/taking shows
1/ what were/are your goals with the projects? 2/ what are some of the biggest lessons?
would love to hear your take on 1/2 if open to sharing
Amazing achievement!
I’m more interested in the tech behind these products. I have a dozen or so “apps” which amount to a python script or localhost site, but deploying them online has been a complete pain in the ass. I will spend ~8 hours perfecting a python script only to spend the next weekend figuring out how to deploy it behind a url. It’s extremely frustrating.
Maybe it’s because I’m not an AWS expert anymore but frankly I don’t want to be. I don’t care. I want to spend my time figuring out the business logic of the app, not tuning obscure IAM configurations so that one part of my app can talk to another.
What I want: take my flask app or node app and my frontend files and run it from a temp url. Include some hosted db. If everything looks good, sell me a domain name. Bonus points if this can be done from terminal like surge.sh can for frontends. And let me cap my monthly spend.
I noticed that one of the apps uses Netlify, are there better options or is that generally considered the best?
