Elon's opinion on Indie Hackers
What's up guys?
Long time no see haha, but it's good to write a new post here :)
Did you know Elon loves #indiehackers?
Don't believe me? see it in the video below :)
It's actually on Characterstream.com, a platform that my buddy Adrian and I made as a weekend project, and we just launched a private beta🥳
We tried to take conversational AI to the next level by adding face animation, voice and personality to the characters.
It's already a pretty popular concept with companies like character.ai or janitorai.com making 8 figures with it.
Grab a slot and share some feedback ;)
Cheers,
Vic
Hey Vic! Unique marketing angle/method :)
Small note - I usually click thru direct to makers websites (in this case, Characterstream.com)
When I got to your site, I want to click into characters to see what people have generated with them, but it asks me to signup.
Just wanted to take a minute and drop a UX note. :) Hope that's the type of feedback you were after!
Appreciate the feedback Esus! Actually the main reason for that is the cost of maintaining the product, which is really high:)
So we required some type of commitment from the visitor before they can start chatting with the characters people created.
But we’ll remove that really soon probably
Oh my bad, I explained poorly.
I'd like to be able to click and see your demo on the Elon one on your site. I generally do not sign up to sites w/o a demo of what other users have created or done. (If I landed on your site organically, I would like to see a demo of you using it when i click characters.)
So if the Twitter video was just embedded when I click on Elon/other profiles, I would have a higher chance of signing up.
Totally agree and wouldn't give open access to people w/o signup lol.
Sorry! Hope that makes more sense
Great post vic!
Glad to be back to IH :)
