We built this little side project into Vidds ~1.5 years ago and finally decided to launch it on product hunt.

It's a fun little tool. We used it to grow the Vidds twitter account from 50 to 800 followers in the first 3 months of this year 😉

Did you know Tweets with video are 10x more likely to get engagement than Tweets without?

As a...

I want to...
– see my favourite multinational corporations update their social media graphics on June 1st
so that...
– it distracts me from their presence and business relationships in nations with limited LGBTQ+ rights

@luciantartea If you're looking for apps, we might have some overview videos we can submit. Send me a dm if you'd like 😉

[Andrew @AndrewWHacks]

@luciantartea How's everything going with it so far?

Learning a lot of dev? Happy with the biz progress?

Do you have any big plans for it? First thing I thought was search/filter, but doesn't look necessary yet.

[Andrew @AndrewWHacks]

@dominiksumer For sure! It's way easier to start than you'd expect, but I'm still working on issues and performance years after the first release.

I need to release a big update today haha

[Andrew @AndrewWHacks]

@lavie_encode That's awesome. I don't even know how long it took me to learn all of these concepts, but it's definitely years!

You need to update it, variables are part of the css core now 🤣

[Andrew @AndrewWHacks]

@DashBarkHuss Haha sorry. I mean you're still involved in so much day to day stuff.

Not a criticism either, just very impressive!

[Andrew @AndrewWHacks]

@Ny_The_Creator Wow, first I've heard of openverse! Is it new?

@dominiksumer I'll save that math for when I can hire someone to do it for me 🤣

[Andrew @AndrewWHacks]

@sarah_edo Damn. A novel could be written on both topics. Resilience and survivorship bias. I don't know your full story, so just have to wait for the book haha

[Andrew @AndrewWHacks]

@mijustin "Overnight success" after many years haha

[Andrew @AndrewWHacks]

@michaelaubry @AppSumo Hahaha LTD addiction is real.

I thought AppSumo's 60 day refund was crazy, but I genuinely feel bad for some of these people!

From FB groups, it seemed common for people to set a $300 monthly budget for LTDs. There's no way they could use all the software they've purchased.

[Andrew @AndrewWHacks]

@michaelaubry @AppSumo Even if I got that math wrong, I can also say that ~75% of AppSumo purchases are FOMO or rarely use the app.

One AppSumo user could cost us $50/month, and I don't think a single user has cost us more than that in the life of their account.

[Andrew @AndrewWHacks]

@michaelaubry @AppSumo Looks like 1 AI credit is 1 token? Base plan is 15k tokens, or about 30 cents?

"One (1) A.I. credit gives between 0.3 and 5 words, depending on engine used." (From their pricing page)

[Andrew @AndrewWHacks]

@JamesIvings It definitely sounds hard to get setup. There are some electron/browser guis for them, but that adds another layer of complexity.

There's a subreddit called localllama or something that might help if you decide to go down the rabbit hole haha
