October 21, 2024 Start offering a free trial

It's been more than a month, but I haven't been able to accquire any customers for Shots Maker yet.

I just started to offer a free trial on both the website (https://shotsmaker.com) and the Shopify app (https://apps.shopify.com/shotsmaker). Will it work?

    I can already think of at least 2 things to improve this. Aren't you looking for a co-founder? SWE here, 11 years exp.

      Thanks for the comment. Can you tell me how to improve this?
      Sometimes I wish I had a co-founder so I could focus on the product (I had one in my first startup, and it worked really well).

October 10, 2024 My first Shopify app is now live!

https://apps.shopify.com/shotsmaker

The app is integrated with Shopify, allowing you to easily generate product images directly from your store’s product photos.

I’ve also managed to cut the price by 75% thanks to improvements in the AI models and image generation pipeline. Now, each product image costs only USD $0.50.

September 25, 2024 Just launched on Product Hunt

This is the second time I launched a product on Product Hunt (the last time was 2019 which was like forever ago). I've got 5 upvotes so far. Please help me upvote: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/shots-maker

I'll share the result and learnings (if any) later here.

September 23, 2024 My first Shopify App

Phew! I finally submitted my Shopify app for review (https://shotsmaker.com). Let’s see how it goes!

Integrating with Shopify took me a long time, mostly because of Shopify' confusing developer documentation and libraries.

But I believe Shots Maker makes better photoshoot images comparing with similar services. So I was quite determined to make it done.

    "I believe Shots Maker makes better photoshoot images comparing with similar services" - talk, or better yet show this on your LP.

      That's a good idea. I've put it on my to-do list. Thanks!

September 5, 2024 Introducing Shots Maker

Shots Maker lets e-commerce merchants and fashion designers create instant garment photoshoots. Just upload a product photo, and get a realistic image of a fashion model wearing it. I created this website because a friend of mine, a fashion designer, was frustrated with the lengthy and expensive process of photoshoots.

As for me, I'm Ding Yu, a product manager and software engineer by day, and an indie hacker by night. I live in Tokyo with my wife and son.

DM for a free trial for Shots Maker.
