I have recently built a tool to create animated flowcharts: https://flowyboard.com/. I was thinking that the moment I launch it and announce it in the hackernews as a post, it would explode!! I was naive! The reality is so damn difficult, even if there is no competitor for your tool! As a solo founder, doing my eveyday full-time job and working on my app in the weekends, doing natrual marketing takes time, But I guess that's the way. Now, if you know better ways, let me know. BTW, check the tool and give your honest feedback please.


As a solo-founder of https://flowyBoard.com, I've used heavily Cursor and chatgpt. My app is very heavy on the front-end side and especially css animations. Here is my conclusion, Cursor is very good duplicate and extend your current structure in the project. So in the beginning you need to be careful about the solutions suggested by Cursor. When the problem is deep, you have to do tests and ask cursor multiple times to reform it. Chatgpt is good when the problem is deep and you know which part of the code is the problem.


Wow! I really didn't expect to get this thorough feedback! All of your points are valid and I'll add them to my task list, especially that reverse vertical scrolling which I was biased about it and didn't even notice it! :) Anyway, thank you a lot for the feedback.


I've recently launched https://flowyBoard.com, a tool to make the creation of animated and 3D flowcharts and diagrams really easy and fast. I created flowyBoard entirely on my own in my free time when I wasn't working as a web developer. It's unbelievably hard to be an immigrant, married, and a full-time developer, and yet find some time and passion to build the tool you've always been looking for. At this stage, I only need your suggestions and feedback. You can find the contact information on the website. Please reach out to me for feedback or business inquiries.


I'm an immigrant developer living in Finland. Finally, I launched my very first SaaS with the idea in mind to help other developers. it's https://www.codimizer.com/ which is a tool to analyze your code based on clean-coding principles.At the moment it's free. I'd really appreciate if you look at that and give me your feedback. As an immigrant who needs to do the full-time job and take care of the family, it was really difficult for me to manage my time but finally I did it. At this point, having high traffic is not important to me but rather productive feedbacks to make the product better and better.
