Looking to do some market research for some ideas. Anyone open to sharing theirs? I wanna make a website for it
Free naturally. Silly to charge for things people can do on their own. But I would love to test my process

I know that saas platforms require the value being so much that one doesn't want to unsubscribe, but that also that onboarding to another similar platform would be more expensive than staying... cognitively. Wondering if you guys mastered that yet with your products? (Please don't pitch me your products. I'm likely never gonna use it.)
I read that it costs more to build a home than to sell it - basically. There’s just a ton of fees, but naturally all the tariffs. And frankly that the next generation of home buyers are gonna have a hard time buying a home due to cost of living, and the previous generation of home sellers are gonna have a hard time selling because people can’t afford their homes.
So we’re stuck with being unable to add more to the supply due to legal requirements taking the money - naturally to invest into the streets and the schools, but apparently the funds that are taken from developing homes aren’t even spent on the schools and infrastructure. It’s just there… sitting, unaudited most of the time.
So we’re stuck. Curious if this is the truth or just be doing bad research, but for those in real estate are you guys noticing the same thing?
(Also I hear that people are tired of working with real estate agents so the home owners are trying to force the real estate agents to cancel the contract by having them do unnecessary work, so that sounds like an action on yet another problem as well)
Someone in my community mentioned that the government owes the electric company and so the electric company isn’t providing reliable services anymore. I’m curious what you guys are paying for?
Like I hear solar panels are expensive, and frankly you gotta be careful about people stealing solar panels, but what’s happening? Is that true or am I getting a bad summary of it all?
Just bought a domain email, and it’s causing me to have to login into manus with my domain email instead of my gmail account (bought it with Google).
So I’m pretty much locked out of my manus account on my phone. Let my cookies expire on my computer, and I’m likely locked out on my computer.
More importantly, ive heard the support isn’t good either.
Actually I did reach support once and they never got back to me.
Either way, I feel like I need to downgrade to more solid infrastructure if that makes sense. Like almost use my own computer or something.
Anyone experience this fear before?
Noticing there are legitimate ways to help nonprofits raise the infrastructure to spread their mission. I’m curious though, how does one use ai to find missions that support their own mission that has grants available?
Trying to buy a house in the next couple of years. I’m reading online that sellers are trying to make a profit but the houses aren’t being bought because the buyers don’t make enough anymore to make the type of down payments that are needed.
Also hearing that agents are annoying the sellers by locking them up in the contracts they agreed to, and sellers are doing things like “making the agent do unnecessary work and wasting their time” through no-show bookings and whatnot. So that’s a different issue, but reflective of seller frustration.
Curious if any of this is true.
My parents are from Panama, so there was a lot that they didn’t know about which regards to the United States. I still have to learn about my parents history via Jamaica, but I’ll get there. With regards to the slaves and descendant of slaves in the United States, it is genuinely a miracle that we’re here where we are today, because leave it to the slave owners, it would’ve continued as an industry - even though it continued in its own way with the prisons.
The idea that a person is seen as a walking tool is just proof that empathy can be lacking in a lawless land where folks can justify their belief that separates them from others through writing words that each other agrees with and using threats of violence against another group. Not to mention using methods like “forced separation” from their native houses and languages to be put in a boat and on land where from the outside they can be seen as the same, yet in the inside they know they are different.
I think the worst part of it all is having forced a new spirit into the human and made them believe and have taught them to teach their kids that this is their position in the world. Not in “this society only”, but the world.
To wake up to saying “I am what existed before these 400 years as well” I think is one of the most profound thing I’ve seen some black folks around me do. Realizing that culture is a spirit within a timeline of spirits - if I can phrase it that way. Or that they are “more than African American”. A sort of holding on to this history of their ancestors in the United States while climbing to learn the history of their ancestors before the United States.
Either way, this country has a rhythm that is keeping it alive, and I am proud to be seen as if I have ancestors that were born in the United States. It’s been a personal struggle of my youth trying to get answers, but as an adult now with all my tools, it’s just been refreshing knowing that the resilience is real, and the creation of the black society and the existence of it is a product of true self-determination from oppressive benefits by the descendants of those who are walking around with the spirit of the slave masters.
Basically, I am glad that black people in the United States saw opportunities to be free and worked hard towards it.
I imagine the battle now is being mentally free from needing the resources that are difficult to acquire, and creating the next generation of communal sufficiency that is hidden as there is a difference between being rich and being wealthy. Where wealth is hidden and being rich is shown. Communal wealth would show a hidden abundance that can source the black community and transfer as abundance in its own alchemical way - if that makes sense.
Basically, keep what’s precious away from those who have no place to take it.
It’s unfortunate, but it’s like the more people who are ignorant about how the infrastructure works, the more likely they’ll invest into the hype and lose money on the other side. And I think the worst thing is that people are like “yup, that’s the game”.
Reminds me of the young guy who is happy they stole from their grandfather’s pension; and then they misspent the money and was like “whoops. Well grandpa shouldn’t have been so dumb”.
So I’m hoping the culture changes. So many things we can do with authentication and selling authentication in the open market. So looking forward to the wise leveraging the speed, because right now it’s just the heartless leveraging the tools that the older ignorant folks know nothing about.
"The funniest part of 'clean, AI-optimized' branding in 2026 is that we’ve finally reached the peak of design: every startup on my feed now looks exactly like a high-end dental clinic in a city I’m not cool enough to visit."
"I need three things to be 'Entity-Ready' for the new AI search engines: structured metadata, a legal trademark filing for my logo, and a visual identity that doesn't look like it was prompted by a toddler who just discovered the word 'futuristic'."
"I used an AI agent to 'pressure test' my new brand positioning today. It told me my unique value proposition was 'statistically indistinguishable from a generic yogurt ad,' which is a huge win, because I’ve always wanted to pivot into dairy."
"Microsoft’s Copilot isn't 'cluttered'; it’s just a bold, multi-window experiment in how many sidebars a human can ignore before they finally give up and download the Google app."
"I shared a 'failed launch breakdown' today to build authentic brand trust, and it got 10x more saves than the actual product announcement. Apparently, the only thing my audience finds more relatable than my brand is my absolute lack of a plan."

Looks like we're all trying to be professional and using ai as our crutch. Then again... I think backed by a solid business model, our branding method would actually work. So learning the power of pairing with folks who run an actual business.
In the middle of testing my logo creation process for my saas tool. Would love to get information about your brand to see if my output helps solidify the logo
