Conntent reduces a step or two in generating content. I felt a need for this product for myself so I made it.


cries in lack of capital


It's a simple tool that lets users generate content for various social media platforms from any online article using just its link.


Yea, but why. Who is your user, and why is that something they want?

Is it businesses? Is it individuals posting for their friends?


I run a STEM page on LinkedIn & X. I have to post something STEM-related daily on them for which I search Google News for an article, open it, copy its content, and then ask ChatGPT to write an engaging LinkedIn post or Tweet for me out of it.

So I made a tool to make this task a bit simpler. I used conntent to generate my weekly newsletter yesterday. You can read it here: https://stemble.substack.com/p/indian-astronauts-embark-on-a...

To answer your question, people like me are the users.


This just sounds like blogspam to me. Why not just share the link and let it speak for itself, if you're not actually putting any original thought into what you're saying about it?

But going back to the question in your post, I suspect the reason you aren't getting paying customers is that people/companies who are reposting content across social media already have established patterns to do it and there's not a value add of switching that to your service.


Right. This could be a reason! What do you think I should do?


I made an app that answers your toddler's curious questions in a way that's fun. Check it out: https://toodle-google.vercel.app


That’s awesome!


Yep, it's taking a lot of time. Please try waiting for 50-60 seconds. I'll work on it for sure.


Has it been discontinued?


> Since you already use GPT-3 to generate digests of articles, couldn't you use it to also generate non clickbait headlines? (either based on that digest or the full article) That could be an interesting experiment.

Could be done! Thanks for the suggestion.


> Does swiping affect the kind of news that will be displayed to me in the future?

Not yet. Will work on that. Thanks for the feedback!


thanks for the heads-up!


Should I just launch there?


I don't think you'd launch to them specifically because they're doing what you're doing, making some SaaS business or whatever.

Just they do launches too so you could see what to do/maybe talk to them.
