instantroom

I wanted to share an update on my side project, InstantRoom, two months after its launch. InstantRoom is a tool that allows users to visualize different interior design styles in their own spaces by simply uploading photos of their rooms.

So far, over 300 users have registered, and 15 have become paying customers. While it's a modest start, I'm encouraged by the interest and feedback from the community.

As a solo founder working full-time as a developer, I realized I can't invest heavily in paid advertising. Instead, I've started focusing on building a blog to drive organic traffic through SEO. My goal is to attract users by providing valuable content related to interior design and home renovation.

I'm continuously testing the platform, collecting feedback, and making improvements. This includes refining the prompts that generate visualizations to enhance the user experience.

It's been a challenging but rewarding journey balancing development, marketing, and customer support. I'm passionate about InstantRoom because I believe in its potential to simplify the interior design process for others, just as I wished for when I was decorating my own apartment.

I'd love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or any advice on growing a side project organically. If you're interested in checking out InstantRoom or have any suggestions, feel free to reach out!

Thanks for reading!

Suddenly finding myself with ample time, I decided to delve deeper into side projects and became increasingly fascinated with the world of Large Language Models (LLMs) and artificial intelligence.

A year prior, I had purchased an apartment and was actively seeking ideas for interior decoration and renovation. I spent countless hours scouring Google Images and Pinterest for inspiration, but the process was time-consuming and often left me wondering how those designs would actually look in my own space. I thought to myself how amazing it would be if I could simply take photos of my rooms and experiment with different styles to tangibly see how each one would transform my living space.

This realization sparked the inception of InstantRoom in June. Despite returning to full-time work as a developer, I believe the concept behind InstantRoom is compelling enough to devote extra time and effort to bring it to life. My goal is to simplify the interior design process by allowing anyone to visualize various styles in their own rooms effortlessly.

InstantRoom exists because I understand the challenges of home renovation and decoration firsthand. By combining my passion for AI with a practical solution to a common problem, I aim to help others make informed design choices without the endless hours of research and guesswork.
