Have some questions about making portolfios

Hey all,

I've been talking to a few UGC creators and "updating my portfolio/reel" keeps coming up as one of those tasks everyone postpones. If you feel identified with this pain, i would love to know a little more. I'd love to hear about:

  • Last time you updated yours, how long did it take and were you happy with the result?
  • What tools have you used (Canva, Behance, Notion, custom sites, etc.) and what made you stick with them or drop them?
  • Have you ever paid for a tool specifically to make this easier?
  • Do you usually ask someone for feedback, or DIY it?

Trying to figure out if there's actually a problem worth solving here or if people have it sorted already. Honest answers welcome, including "this is a non-issue for me.

Cheers!

What happens when your AI built app actually starts growing?

I’m building a project called https://www.scoutr.dev using mostly AI tools, and so far it’s been OK. Not perfect but im happy with it.

Right now everything is kind of “held together” by AI-generated code and iterations. It works, but I’m not sure how well it would hold up if I start getting real traffic, more users, more complexity, etc.

At some point, I’m assuming I’d need to bring in an actual developer to clean things up, make it scalable, and probably rethink parts of the architecture.

Has anyone here gone through that transition?

Started with an AI-built project, got traction, and then had to “professionalize” the codebase?

What broke first? Was it painful to hand it over to a dev? Did you end up rebuilding everything from scratch or iterating on top of what you had?

Would love to hear real experiences before I get to that point.

How to navigate the zero view jail

Hi all,

I Have a question. I created a TikTok account more than a month ago. Views have been increasing, reaching some videos 1800, 3000, and 8900 views.

But suddenly on the last 4 days, I fell into the zero view jail as my last videos have 4, 3, and so on views. I I’ve been engaging and using the app normally, not weird behavior.

What could have happened? What should I do now??

Adding value to my project

Hi everyone,

Just sharing some updates on www.scoutr.dev MVP that I’m building since mid-March.

I was struggling with my projects and ideas follow-up, as I was Sharing all to my LLMs, but couldn’t track all the updates in a simple/intuitive way, so launched this tool to help others on the same.

A few things that were happening with this project:

-A lot of people are visiting the web and making previews of their reports, but only a few bought. This tells me the following:
The need for validation is real.

- Although I’m more convinced that real validation comes with people paying for your project and not from an AI, I see that people know that they need to validate if their ideas are worth it.

The thing is that it’s not that clear that people are willing to pay for Scoutr.

-So last week I’ve been iterating (starting with all the feedback received) and adding valuable features for people to use Scoutr as a project hub, where they start their founder journeys with a lot of ideas, some with better scores than others.

-Then, I added a feature called “iteration log” that allows you to mark blockers and write observations on what you want to do a deep dive, and of course, an AI assistant to get deeper on those points.

-Then, an interview guide for you to make unbiased questions to people, to help you ask the right questions and understand your users better.

-And finally, “hand off to AI” allows you to share a PRD and core MVP features that you should build (the objective is to avoid scope creep) to your favorite LLM, with all the context of your investigation and validation.

-BUT, I also worked on the UI of all the web, and focusing on showing value since moment 0. When you generate your preview, now you get into the dashboard experience, where you can appreciate all the features you can use.

Again, the idea is to transform this, on your project and idea hub. So if you are struggling with idea validation and structuring your ideas, you need to try it.

Cheers!
