For the little backstory, I sold one of my app last month, and my assistant is working for the new owner.
She was also manually checking submissions for another of my project, which had been paused since then because of that, so I decided to make a bot to replace her, given the great capabilities of GPT-4:
The AI will control the relevance of the answers and will approve/disapprove it using specific keywords. If the submission is approved, the prompt tell to return "APPROVED" only. If not, it return the reason why.
If the "APPROVED" keyword is present in the AI's reply, then a function to approve the user is executed. Otherwise, an email is sent with the AI's reason to disapprove it.
I launched more than 30 projects, some successful, other not, and I can tell you, when you're starting out, the logo does not matter at all. The name and domain either.
Once you have some validation, sure! But before that, bothering with a designer-tier logo is a waste of time & money. The app is aimed at small indie makers who don't have time/budget for a designer, but don't want a generic vector from flaticons and others :)
App haven't crashed so far, so, I'd say it's doing fine!
I was pretty clear when I sold the app that it needed lots of improvements, and that's why I didn't listed it for more (x2.5 total revenues), the buyer know that
And no, I never wondered why software today is terrible, I'm not a dev, and I'll never be, I'm just a guy who learned to code.
But it's good, it means there is a market for people who like "taking care to make it good and correct", and I'll never be able to compete there. Let customers choose :)
