How do I self-host a good-looking AI generated website
I'm happy to use a service, but most come with hosting plans, and I just want the code so I can host it on my own website. I'm a long-term software developer of the type that isn't good at UI/UX (i.e. scroll bars are the devil, and the mouse isn't much better). I'm soon to do UI as part of my masters degree as part of my redemption arc, but I need something in the meantime, and I'm trying to be efficient with my search :)

Those of you who run a content agency. Im curious how you organise your work and your team.
Help a brother here, for the love of the game :)) Hello I'm Filip and you don't know me. But I have spent the last 4 o 5 months building with AI something I really missed for my own agency. A way to organise everything in one place. Me and my team worked most of the time in Notion but as the team grew, it got really expensive, really fast. And it's a steep learning curve for those new to Notion (imo at least). So I built this piece of software and I'm curious about your honest feedback and if ...

I analyzed 4 viral r/SaaS posts. The one with 189k views broke almost every "write valuable content" rule.
I analyzed four r/SaaS posts that reached a combined 246k views because I wanted to understand why some posts take off while most disappear. The results were not what I expected. The biggest post got 189k views in 10 hours. It wasn't a growth guide, a launch story, or a list of SaaS lessons. It was a conflict story. A developer said a company copied his code after refusing to pay for a licence. The proof was bizarrely specific: the copied site was still sending sessions to his Hotj...

how to market/distribute my API.
Hello! I'm currently working on growth for an AI media generation API (image/video). Product's good, free tier's generous, but we're basically invisible to devs who'd pay for it. No paid ads. Trying to figure out what actually gets developers to find it, try it, and stick around (not just chase traffic). If you've grown an API or dev tool: what actually worked, and what was a waste of time? Especially how have you got people to reach your product and stick around? submitted by  ...

Are AI tools making us better at managing information, or worse at remembering it?
A few months ago, I started helping my parents organize their health information. As they get older, I realized how much medical history builds up over time: test results, medication changes, doctor visits, and small details that seem insignificant when they happen but become important later. The frustrating part was not that we lacked information. We actually had too much. Some records were in hospital portals, some were saved as PDFs, some were buried in emails, and some details only existed i...
