Can you take a ride on my app?
In 2023 I've gone two month-long surf trips in Central America. I've gotten bit by the surf bug. There's a trip I've been training for that I'm going on in May in the Mentawai islands - it's going to be challenging, so I dedicated time to improving my skills.
As I progressed in skill, my equipment needs changed. I started on an 8-foot-long board with a soft top. Then I moved to a hard top 8 foot. Then a 7-foot hard top. These were all boards that were lent to me by the surf instructor that I was working with. I did not know anything about boards, so having a guide to show me the appropriate board was helpful.
When it was time to buy a higher-performance board I spent hours researching, talking to friends, and visiting board shops to learn about the differences in size, weight, and material. There is so much to learn.
While I was in Nicaragua, I saw Jackson Fall's post on Twitter about having ChatGPT help him start a business with $100. I saw that affiliate business were popular. None of the affiliate businesses I saw looked very cool. Eco-friendly cleaning products? Boring. I wanted to do something cool. So I thought maybe I could create a shopping experience to help people find the perfect board based on their responses to a series of questions a local board shop pro would ask.
I built the chatbot with landbot.io - which was referred to me by chatgpt. I had some of the technical support team help me with what I was trying to accomplish, but when their support team was clocked out for the night (which was like 11 am est), I turned to chatgpt to help me out. It has been an exhilarating week of building and thanks the chatgpt I've gotten back into coding some stuff, and it's been a lot of fun.
I'm not sure what to do with the project now but I would be interested in hearing any feedback from this group.
Thanks!
