Hey everyone,

I’ve spent a lot of time in e-commerce communities, reading discussions and talking to people. One thing kept coming up: how much money goes into testing ads just to figure out which creatives, hooks, and copy actually work.

That’s what led me to build Baldur Studio. A lot of what I’ve learned from these communities about ad testing, audiences, and common frustrations has shaped the tool.

The idea is simple: get feedback on your ad from AI personas before putting real budget behind it. You choose a target audience, submit your ad draft, and get simulated reactions to it. The goal is to help you spot weak hooks, confusing messaging, and potential objections before launching.

To be clear: these aren’t real customer responses, and the tool doesn’t guarantee performance. It’s not meant to replace live testing, it’s meant to help you catch obvious weaknesses and go into those tests with better hypotheses.

I’m looking for honest feedback from people who create or run ads for e-commerce brands. Would this be useful in your process? What would you need to see in the feedback for it to actually help you make decisions?

You can try it for free here:

If you need more usage than the free allowance includes, DM me and I’m happy to give you some extra usage to test it out.

Critical feedback is very welcome. An honest “I wouldn’t use this because…” is much more helpful to me than a polite “looks good.”

How to find the products that actually pay for your store, step by step.

The setup: Wix store, 1,783 products imported from Zendrop, orders coming in across a small slice of them.

Step 1: pull every product and every order into one place. Wix keeps them in separate views, so this is where the spreadsheet pain starts.

Step 2: sum revenue per product and sort. My top products carry most of the revenue. The long tail carries almost none.

Step 3: flag anything with zero or near-zero sales. That's your underperformer list. It's the one that matters, because it tells you what to hide, bundle, reprice, or delete.

Step 4: act on it in bulk. Hiding 200 dead listings one at a time is a miserable afternoon.

I built a dashboard that does steps 1 to 3 automatically and handles step 4 with a bulk hide action. It re-syncs on a schedule, so the ranking stays current as orders come in.

If you run a large catalog, what's your cutoff for calling a product dead? 30 days with no sale? 90? Never?

I'm a developer and I've built a complete ecommerce system (Laravel, multi-category products, admin dashboard, order tracking, coupons, COD + online payments).

Before I release it, I want to know: if you run (or plan to run) an online store, which features matter most to you, and which do most platforms get wrong?

I'll share a demo with anyone who wants to try it and give honest feedback.
