The foundation of our core contract management application is a powerful, beautifully-looking editor based on Tiptap, which itself is of course based on Prosemirror.

TurboAnimator for Google Slides
As someone who's spent countless hours adjusting slide animations, I can relate to this a lot. The ability to define custom animation combos is 🔥. Unfortunately, I am stuck with PowerPoint, but maybe that would be a cool addition in the future (e.g. as a plugin)?
Camera and me, the Manatee
Not gonna lie I am here for the name. However, staying to play around with the tool, as I am looking for a tool that facilitates screencasting for me. Have a great launch day :)

The idea of going beyond simple static sites to full-on applications with AI is wild. Would love to see some real-world examples of apps made with this! Kudos for the effort it must have taken to build this and all the best for the launch.

Great idea, congrats on the launch. I'm curious: how flexible is the Calendar Health Check in understanding diverse work cultures? Is the score customizable? Not all 'busy' calendars equate to unproductiveness, especially in industries where frequent touchpoints are key.

Curate & Hatch Ideas with Glasp AI
Congratulations on both your personal journey and the launch of Glasp. I watched the demo, installed this and now I have to give it an in-depth test. But if it does what it promises, this is really an impressive product. Keep up the excellent work, and I wish you all the best in this endeavor!
Hi Vladyslav, congratulations on the launch. In my experience working in HR Tech SaaS for 10+ years this is a smart move that comes at the right time, as the current economic climate leads to a partial shift from a market driven by demand for skilled labour to one where the are less jobs and more people looking for new challenges. For you offering a solution for the jobseeker, that is a favorable dynamic. 2 thoughts that I want to mention and that (imo) should be on top of your mind now: How do you secure retention once the person has found a job? I see that you are offering a quarterly plan (a rare thing) so you have definitely considered this already, just curious to find out more. And secondly, I am sure you are aware that the big players (i.e. LinkedIn) are offering solutions targeted to the people looking for jobs, so: What will be your strategy in terms of added value to compete with them in the medium term?

Sttabot Gamma Access
Hi Udit, I have no direct feedback yet (have not had the chance to fully test so far), but: I really like the personal and authentic background story that made you launch this. I wish you good luck and resilience building this project! Also kudos to Dhruv.

WorkoutPro
I am not vegan, nor do I have a nut allergy, but I am currently looking for a product like that. Unfortunately in the free trial, I wasn't even able to look at one single exercise generated, let alone do other things. I would recommend that you focus on creating real value during the trial (maybe that requires some investment on your end), otherwise it is gonna be hard to convince people that your app makes a real difference compared to the rest out there. For now: Enjoy launch day!

Blogkit
I really dig the idea of having a easy to set up, lightweight blog with SEO guidance included. I see myself using this, signing up now to test it a bit. However, if you want to do me and others a favor: Slow down the carousel on your landing page a bit xD it kept jumping away as I was trying to read about your features. All the best for the launch!

Vite
For anyone tired of the old bundler grind, Vite's a game changer. But since it is so young, I had to figure out some more complex parts of the settings / rollup config myself and also stumbled upon issues in production that I just could not solve and that left me excluding a certain package from my build entirely. So, prepare for some challenges if you want to use this in big/complex projects.

What needs improvement

The ultimate treasure trove for tech nerds.
Vue.js
I've been messing with Vue.js and honestly, it's pretty chill to pick up, especially if you're new to the whole JS scene. The docs are on point, and I love how everything's in one file. Plus, there's a solid community backing it. React's cool too, but Vue just clicked for me.

What's great

excellent documentation (2)easy to learn (3)supportive community (1)

Google Fonts
My favorite fonts and the only ones I use, because they simply work.
 Google Tag Manager
As all things Google, this is more complex than I think it needs to be, but hey ... it's Google, you have to use it, right?

ApexCharts
Have used this in multiple projects to enable customizable dashboards and all I can say is that this is hands down the best option. Awesome library!
Heroicons
Crafted by the ingenious minds behind Tailwind CSS, what else would you expect: These icons are not just visually appealing but also astoundingly user-friendly. The two sizes offer adaptability for various design needs. I am now so used to these icons that it is hard to imagine a new project without them ;)

Tailwind CSS
We're in the midst of building a complex, high-performance SaaS product alongside its associated marketing website, and TailwindCSS has been a pivotal asset. In my experience, it is one of the few tools with just the right combination of tools that allow for the use of utility classes while still streamlining some parts of the CSS using @apply to maintain consistency. Not only does it facilitate rapid prototyping, but TailwindCSS also makes it a breeze to develop UI components that are both aesthetic and performant. For teams looking to build sophisticated web products without getting bogged down in custom CSS intricacies, I can't recommend TailwindCSS enough. It's a powerful toolkit that delivers on its promise of efficiency and elegance.

What's great

Intercom
Recently, I had the pleasure of being accepted into Intercom's startup programme, which offers a more affordable pricing structure for budding businesses like mine. As I've just embarked on this journey with Intercom, I'm still in the early phases of exploring its capabilities, and I'm eager to see the long-term impacts it will bring to our customer relations and operations. One feature I'd greatly appreciate would be enhanced AI support in building and maintaining a knowledge base for my product. Having an intelligent system to assist in organizing and optimizing our knowledge resources can be a game-changer. In conclusion, while my experience is still in its nascent stages, I'm optimistic about what Intercom can offer. Looking forward to seeing where this partnership takes us!
