First user FakeMan013 ๐Ÿ‘€ I see you ๐Ÿ‘€

Dear fakemano13 thank you for trying out the new AI Generated Tweet feature on tweetfeast.com! I'm sorry that your request for tweets in the voice of "Levelsio " on the topic of "STartups" failed to generate any tweets. The space you left in the username and the incorrect capitalization reveals just how little testing I did before sliding this thin half-assed wrapper around the ChatGPT API onto the internet. I shipped that thing so hard and fast the wheels fell right off. Don't blame me. This is what the why combinators told me to do. Do I need to pull out the quotes to convince you? Fine.

If you aren't embarrassed by the first version of your product, you shipped too late.
-- Reid Hoffman

Well I did the right thing Reid because if throwing an amateur hour exception right in the face of the user when they capitalize in the wrong place isn't embarrassing I don't know what is.

Ship before you're ready, because you will never be ready. Ready implies you know it's going to work, and you can't know that.
-- Seth Godin

It's true Seth, there's no way I could have known it wasn't going to work. Well I guess I might if I had taken literally 5 seconds to test before pushing deploy and sprinting to the fridge to crack a self-congratulatory beer as I tell myself I am innovation king. Ah well, I am glad I have your support anyway Seth.

Good news though! I have fixed the bug with a bit of the old .toLowerCase() and a cheeky little .replaceAll(" ", "") and I didn't even have to ask Stackoverflow how to do it. This time I tested for all of three minutes before deploying so I am 100% certain there are no more bugs lurking in there. You will have a glorious error free experience now. It will be like Shakespeare himself is writing tweets for you. The new version is up on tweetfeast.com/ai-tweet-generator and you can try it out again. I am sure you will find your tweets on the topic of "STartups" in the voice of infamous indie hacker Pieter Levels most satisfactory this time around.

Best of luck with your shameless AI generated tweeting. I wish you the same luck that I have had with placing poorly crafted software online well before it's reasonably ready for public consumption ($120 MRR already from doing this hell yeah!!!). All the best!
