Website traffic to FreeReader in the past 30 days. I am most excited about the Organic Search and AI channels. It's simply free traffic 👍

TTS shouldn't cost $100 per year. I'm building a free version, called FreeReader.

This marketing video is garbage. I made it for FreeReader using Sol. Instead of recording the screen or taking screenshots, it made its own poorly rendered representation of the app. Might switch to Claude for this

A single reddit post brought nearly 600 visitors to my site already today! Reddit marketing is the way to go.

I just released a completely free version of Speechify. I was tired of paying over $100 per year for something I could build and host for nearly free. Hope it helps you too. freereader.io

Do you recommend Codex or another harness with OpenAI model connection like OpenCode? What's the best method rn?

I'm not sure if my app will ever make $1 but maybe it'll win a launch 😅 Asking my fellow builders to help me out with a vote. It would be greatly appreciated! tools.launchllama.co/product…

I haven't been on my computer all day and my Codex limit went down 1%. Just watched it update from 8% to 7%. Same thing happened yesterday. 9% to 8%. wtf is this?

1 week since launch, here's a realistic view of my app's performance. - 35 downloads - 8% conversion rate - Most product page view came from Reddit marketing, not as much from X where I spent a whole lot more time 😅
