@kushmergedeck Promo your startup at https://t.co/QDk2xzTkd9 to reach Hong Kong audience. Lots of AI wrappers are making $$ out of HK since they can't use OpenAI or Claude.
So I tried a shortcut:
a mascot.
I built Alano, an open-source mascot library developers can use across:
- sign up/onboarding
- empty states
- error screens
- notifications
- chatbots
- PPT presentations
Not a replacement for good design.
Just one easy way to give a product some personality.
Would you use a shared mascot in your product?

I think part of the reason is people like me:
Developer-Converted-Founders.
We know how to build.
We know how to ship.
But most of us donβt have enough design taste to create a complete visual identity from scratch.
So our products inherit whatever the boilerplate gives us.
@antonships whoever building
do you know Hong Kong still don't have access to Claude and OpenAI?
Some simple wrappers are making loads of $ from the population.
I made a SaaS app leaderboard.
Now selling top position for merely USD4 as we start
Write any description of your SaaS / AI app and it will translate to Cantonese that locals can understand
Hong Kong population has high purchasing power and they won't mind paying peanuts for your subscription.
Every creator knows this part: you finish the work, then spend weeks chasing an invoice. DMs, Telegram groups, a spreadsheet nobody updates.
recently, @PursuitLi (https://t.co/MgPuuDZ76T) built something to fix that and it is called https://t.co/0AhJtzobGk.

Fellow founders,
Did you know Hong Kong is a highly affluent market, yet OpenAI and Claude are still blocked here?
Even simple chatbot AI wrappers are already making serious money from the city.
