Thanks for checking out my app, even if you showed support or really hated it, all feeback is needed.

Lot's of people were questioning my credibility on wether I was 16 or not and many other things, if this is such a concern to you I post on Twitter @willcranna where there's a demo video of my product.

Once again thank you, and I hope to post here again. Hopefully next time majority enjoy the product, lol.


You're right I have no coding skill. But testing out Lovable and bringing my idea to reality made me realize this is something I want to learn so I've already began taking a course learning how to code softwares of my own.

People should't be "scared" of these LLM's it's just a tool that shows coding to a wider audience.


That's a really positive outcome, one I am personally supportive of. Learning to code is a rewarding journey.

Now, while I am not scared of LLM's, I am scared for users who use them inappropriately.

I use LLM's extensively, and so I am intimately familiar with the dangers they pose to the uninitiated. I would HEAVILY caution against relying on LLM's until you can read and understand the code your asking LLM's to write comfortably.

Personally, I would recommend you first learn to code in a language of interest, then use LLM's to automate the stuff that has become second nature. The stuff you can pump out mindlessly. This takes the burden of monotonous tasks of your hands, and you have the expertise to check the LLM output for glaring issues. It's still not fully automated but it's much faster if you can write something complex, critical, or sensitive, while the LLM churns out boiler plate and routine chunks. You then comeback later and proof read the LLM output.

Trusting AI code you yourself don't understand is a recipe for disaster. You claim your users data will be private, but then have to rely on AI jank to keep this data safe, if it is even safe. It might just throw everything into publicly accessible folders. What happens when you promise safety, but don't actually provide any. What happens when a users data is then stolen? Who does the court hold accountable? you? the LLM you blindly trusted?


Shoot thanks for letting me know. I’ll fix that now!

Thanks, definitely had a few laughs when scrolling through the comments this morning. I’m happy you like my idea, and I hope to only improve upon it from here.

lol I don’t think my idea is that revolutionary. Maybe I make something good enough for the YC in the future. I’m happy you like my product!

Entrepreneurial skills? I didn’t mean to come off this way, just made a quick post showing what I’m working on. Thanks for the feedback.

Thank you for taking the time to respond to so many comments.

Note that my remark is more about my own semi-philosophical thoughts on the value of entrepreneurship, and not so much about your particular effort. Perhaps I should've made that more clear. And perhaps I should've posted it to Meta Hacker News, if there were such a place.

Should society motivate people to invest in learning technology, or to organize businesses, both just for the sake of it? I personally prefer the former over the latter, but I can see that both (as well as abstaining from either) have their pluses and minuses.

I can almost agree with you - I'm more on the former side myself. I only work enough to afford food, shelter and some surplus for studying. But I don't see the problem with somebody with more business acumen using the journey to get somewhere. You can both enjoy the hunt and the barbecue. You don't have to pick one.


Fair enough, I’ll update my HN profile. I just thought I’d quickly make a post.

Thank you. I’m hoping I can improve in this idea.

None of the images are fake, most of them are from a free licensing site. And the Conner photo is my friend.

If you make a free account you’ll see it’s not a scam. I do agree a demo video would be a good idea.
