Curious, what are the other evidences?

I mean it could be argued that a core part of their business model seems to be based on tricking people and locking them into terrible deals.

I'm wrapping better than McDonald's wraps tho

My moat is that I built it so they will come

Wow, that's a clever idea! Will try it when I'm back

(I wrote it from my burner account)

For the little backstory, I sold one of my app last month, and my assistant is working for the new owner.

She was also manually checking submissions for another of my project, which had been paused since then because of that, so I decided to make a bot to replace her, given the great capabilities of GPT-4:

The AI will control the relevance of the answers and will approve/disapprove it using specific keywords. If the submission is approved, the prompt tell to return "APPROVED" only. If not, it return the reason why.

If the "APPROVED" keyword is present in the AI's reply, then a function to approve the user is executed. Otherwise, an email is sent with the AI's reason to disapprove it.

Really cool idea, congrats!

Total revenues x2.5

but wondering how he or she found the buyer and settled?

I used Acquire.com

I launched more than 30 projects, some successful, other not, and I can tell you, when you're starting out, the logo does not matter at all. The name and domain either.

Once you have some validation, sure! But before that, bothering with a designer-tier logo is a waste of time & money. The app is aimed at small indie makers who don't have time/budget for a designer, but don't want a generic vector from flaticons and others :)

You’re contradicting yourself. If the logo doesn’t matter, then using a generic vector isn’t a problem. In fact, it is better than paying for any “logo maker” because it’s free!

I have no qualms with companies starting out and using something generic to make due, as long as they understand the difference. But the dozens of logo maker websites including yours all sell themselves as if they’re the same as a custom logo, and they’re not.

Also, the name and domain do matter. I’ve seen projects fail because they inadvertently named themselves after a negative word in another language.

I agree to disagree!

Yes, Midjourney is amazing for that, such a shame there is no API haha

And yes, the app render vectors :)

Agreed on the "mom" part. Tbh anyone could generate logos using different AI models, but the main point of the app is to offer a simplified experience
