A 2-4 player casual card game that's similar to Exploding Kittens. It'll be free-to-play on mobile and I've been focusing more on marketing these days (mostly running ads, creating short form content, and reaching out to influencers).

I'm using Unity for the front-end, and Node.js (just because I'm already familiar with it in terms of dev + liveops) for the gameservers.


A multiplayer card game thats inspired from UNO and exploding kittens. WebGL at moment but will be on mobile soon. http://simpleyuji.itch.io/fishbait


What is the name of the company?


Carnivo/keto diet (low carb in general) should actually help a lot in losing weight. What do you think is the reason why you can't do them consistently? If making them tasty is the issue, perhaps get a personal chef?

I would also strongly recommend doing a sport that you enjoy whether it be basketball, volleyball, boxing, muay thai, etc. If you enjoy the sport and want to excel on it, you will need to be fit, and it'll give you extra motivation to lose weight if it'll help you become better at something you love doing.


good stuff. pretty intuitive UI


Can you give a specific example of how you would start with a customer? Do you make a post in fb/twitter/linkedin like "I have some freetime as programmer, anyone have pain points or annoyances in your work that I might be able to help?" . Or do you come up with an idea (i.e i wanna build AI chatbots for real estate professionals) and start cold emailing agents that you dont know about and ask if they would find it useful?


In my specific case, we were already doing business with a client for unrelated matters and they brought a new problem to us asking if we might be able to address it. Turned out the broader market had a similar problem so it took off. Once we had 1 client, we could convince the 2nd and so on.

I think much of this is chicken-egg at the end of the day. Trust & networking is a hell of a challenge. There is no reality in which we could have walked into a client totally cold and proposed what we are selling today.

I think "hunting for problems" is part of the mission, but you also need people to be willing to work with you once you identify one. One element of successful professional networking should be a constant stream of "hmm maybe an opportunity?".

Building reputation in your target market seems to be the most difficult aspect of B2B SaaS.


i feel like scrolling would be better than pagination as its easier to select from the choices that are available


wow, this is really cool, i remember krunker going viral when it was launched and how smooth it was. definitely one of the top IO games. so really cool that you're opensourcing this

A Talking Avatar AI generator similar to d-id. Worked on it for 2 months but I have problems adding natural head movement to the speaker. About 100 users so far but 0 revenue. Very low traffic (like 10-20 users/day). Not sure where to go next, at moment trying to focus more on marketing and getting feedback


Have you tried just going image-to-depth map? You could render the image in 3d with shallow depth then just shift the camera a bit

The main issue with moving mouths is the relative stillness, it's enough to introduce coherent motion in the user's field of vision.

If anything it might give you a unique distinction vs d-id, the head movements it doesn't aren't natural at all, but it's enough to not make it feel stiff


Interesting. I guess camera movement on 3d scenes would make the video more dynamic. That will put the focus more the "video aspect" as opposed to "Avatar" aspect of the product. I might explore that feature a little bit.



But where do you find such community? twitter? indiehackers?


Another hack that doesnt have a high bar: find a friend who is preferably technical and say you want to show them a demo of something you are making. Invite them to your “demo” 6 or 8 weeks out. Now start building. If you hold yourself to sharing that demo with a friend you will be amazed at what steps you can take to get there. If not, debug why? Try to understanding why showing that demo is not inspiring? Does it really excite you? What would it mean for it to work? What possibility does it create next?


You usually won't. It is not a realistic advice, or "hack" as the wise HN member likes to call it.
