My indicators are:

- being happy for no real reason,
- giving compliments with a salad of words,
- writing with perfect grammar and lots of long dashes 😄

an AI generated reply is an instant block signal for me

I’m actually using the product on the page but its mobile only, I think this is confusing.

I’ll keep your feedback in mind. I really appreciate your time. 🙌

Thanks for the valuable feedback, Alan.

I intentionally disabled it on desktop because I felt this concept was a better fit for mobile, but it can be enabled with a single flag in the future.

Also I’ll definitely add more use case ideas to the landing page. I really appreciate your time.

I’m doing something similar with @usemevo.com. Your chatbot can collect attributes by asking questions, and it always remembers those custom attributes the next time you ask something.

It's a tool that designs and publishes Instagram-like stories at the top of the mobile webpage.

You can view a working example on getstorieswidget.com by visiting it with your phone. Stories have trackable CTAs for engagement. Can be used to promote discounts, testimonials, feature updates, etc.

Fair enough. Thanks 😄

codebases which continously refactor themselves is interesting idea

Final result after that single line, for those who are interested.

I changed my mind, no trial, first month $1 is fair enough.

There will be a 7-day trial.

Also, I won’t be offering a free plan since the price barrier is already low enough. I’m curious to see what effect this will have.

valid reason to care about the schemas

I’ve been building a Stories Widget. It lets you add Instagram-like stories to any website.

I’m planning to make it live tomorrow, or by Wednesday at the latest. (I hope)

I just tested the final state of the stories widget live on a website. I like the overall feel, but I need to load the next story earlier to prevent blink.

I believe it’ll be quick, engaging, and built to boost conversions.

Here’s the screen record from my phone

Here’s how I look at it:

• Would I use this on my own projects even if nobody else did?
• Can I build the MVP in under 3 days?
• Do I really like the idea?

If I answer ‘yes’ to at least 2 of these, I skip the validation phase. 😄

The initial version doesn’t include Instagram integration, but it’s something we’re considering for the future, along with video support. It currently only works with images.

Use cases in my mind were announcements, discounts, or event links on a mobile landing page; testimonials also a good idea.
