I don't typically go for .AI domains, but picked up LazyCoding.AI and tossed up a quick website to see what an idea could be. I have a few ideas beyond this, namely having actual AI options on my site.

I'd like to resell AI options from other companies, but am having a hard time finding out exactly how to do that on a small scale.

So, if anyone can point me to that, I'd love to incorporate it into my design.

Thanks in advance, and appreciate any thoughts.

I’ve been planning to move into freelancing seriously and recently started exploring Dribbble because a lot of people recommend it for getting clients.

I have around 3+ years of frontend experience working with Next.js, React, Angular, Vue.js, and building modern UI/frontend systems. Since I wanted access to project briefs, I upgraded to the Standard plan thinking I could start applying and slowly get conversations going.

But after opening the briefs section, I honestly got discouraged.

I started seeing projects under $100 already having 20–30 submissions, sometimes even more. Seeing that many people competing for really small-budget projects made me feel like I’m walking into some kind of trap where beginners just keep applying endlessly without getting real opportunities.

Now I’m genuinely confused whether this is just the normal starting phase of freelancing, or if platforms like Dribbble are no longer realistic for someone trying to get their first few freelance clients.

Did anyone here actually get clients from Dribbble in their early days? Or does it only start working after building a reputation/network over time?

Would honestly love to hear real experiences instead of YouTube “freelancing guru” advice.

Hey Guys,

I have this AI development platform called "Devaiy" which I have beeen working on for some months now. Although the platform is live for users and it's looking good, the 'To Do' list is still quite big and I need to prioritize some of the features that I plan to add. Would appriciate if you can give your opinion about which one I should prioritize -

Figma Integration - The platform can process images/screenshot to replicate designs but Figma integration is something which is my short term goal

Git Integration - The platform can export the developed the application to github but full integration(checkin/checkout) is not done yet. User can deploy apps directly to vercel/railway too.

Platform provisioned cloud for publishing Apps - As of now the backend is on supabase(BYOS only) and the apps can be published/xported to Git/Vercel/Railway etc. The future plan is to provide platform provisioned supabase as well as option to publish apps on Devaiy cloud only(this item is the biggest one)

I would really appriciate if you can help with your views about which one users would prefer to be implemented first and which one can wait. Thank you so much in advance!

Hey everyone 👋

So I just finished my bachelor's in Data Science and honestly I have to admit something a little embarrassing... I never really learned to code properly the traditional way. Like everyone around me was grinding LeetCode and I just couldn't get myself to do it.

But what I did end up doing was spending a ridiculous amount of time with AI tools. And somewhere along the way I realised I had actually built some real things?

Like I can genuinely:

1. Set up and run n8n automation workflows

2. Build backends on Supabase

3. Deploy stuff on AWS and Azure

4. Actually ship working apps using Claude Code, Cursor, Codex

5. Containerise things with Docker

None of it is written by hand. All of it working.

Now I'm sitting here wondering... is this actually useful to anyone professionally? Like is there a real place for someone like me in the tech world or am I just playing pretend?

I'm open to fully remote work, and honestly just trying to figure out if this skill set can lead somewhere real where this kind of fast building mentality might fit.

Has anyone here made a career out of this kind of thing? Or know someone who did? Would genuinely appreciate any advice, even if it's tough love.

I recently got to know about opencode and in Opencode I found this insane model that came out very recently I guess, it's called Deepseek V4 flash free. And it was freaking insane.

Portfolio Website - https://unqdesign.in/

Steps on how I made this -

\- I first list down everything that that I wanted to be in the website (loader, hero section, about me section, my work, resume, testimonials and contact form)

\- then I gave that to claude and asked me to give a prompt that I can give me antigravity (claude opus model) to give me an implementation plan

\- antigravity makes an entire implementation plan which I then paste it into my opencode.

\- opencode makes a rough structure, a skeleton for the entire website which u can tweak by giving commands, step by step.

So far, I didn't face any limits, it was completely free to build this, at least for me.

AI os wrecking the market and it's brutal.

Hey everyone, I am a Full Stack Senior Engineer by profession. I’ve recently completed a massive, custom real estate and co-living platform, and I have some free time on my hands to take on new custom web design, SaaS dashboards, and full-stack development projects.

I am offering a flat 20% cut on any closed deal you refer to me.

The Math:
-Average Ticket Size: ₹75K to ₹1.5L INR (as reference, my last custom real estate project closed at 1.1L)
-Referral Commission: Flat 20%
-Your Payout: ₹15,000 to ₹30,000+ INR directly to you (via UPI or Bank Transfer) the moment the client's initial invoice clears. There is no cap.

What I Actually Build (The Credibility Proof):

I don't build cheap templates. I build custom, high-converting platforms with premium UI/UX.
As a case study of what I can deliver, I recently built a comprehensive, full-featured real estate rental and co-living marketplace. It includes:

-Smart Flatmate & Roommate Finder: A custom matching system profiling users based on lifestyle tags, habits, and sleeping schedules with compatibility percentage matching.
-Co-Living "Team Up" Feature: An advanced group-hunting system where users can form teams, send team requests, and hunt/rent flats together.
-Real-Time Messaging Hub: An integrated inbox and dashboard for instant peer-to-peer and peer-to-owner messaging.
-Visits & Enquiries Scheduler: Seamlessly integrated booking engines for property walkthroughs and owner enquiries.
-Landlord & Admin Dashboards: Comprehensive listing CRUD, activity feeds, and metric monitoring.
-Modern Stack: React (Vite) + Supabase (Auth, DB, Storage).

How it Works:

1. You find a qualified lead (someone looking for high-end web development, real estate apps, or software portals).
2. You make the warm intro or point them to my portfolio.
3. I handle the discovery, pitching, negotiation, and building.
4. If they sign and pay, I immediately transfer your 20% referral fee.

How to Reach Me:

If you already have a network of founders, or you run a cold outreach system and want to add high-ticket development to your offer stack, **send me a DM here on Reddit**.

I'll share my portfolio, case studies, and WhatsApp details in private so we can set up a tracking system!

For the past couple of months I’ve been working on a topography tool for the AEC industry. I’m an architectural technologist so I kinda sit between the technical building engineering side and the design software side of things at the company I work at.

Honestly what pushed me to build it was just the sheer amount of hours that go into modelling site topography correctly. Because it matters, a redrawing the topo way too late in a project is a massive headache. And most of the time you’re starting from 2D surveyors data and just figuring it out from there.
So I built something that pulls from private, local and open source elevation datasets and spits out 3D files or CSV data that works in Revit, Rhino, Archicad and SketchUp. Not to replace surveyors data, just to have something accurate to cross reference against and to stop rebuilding the same thing from scratch every project.

It’s called topo-grapher.com if anyone’s curious. Free tries for everyone and anyone, would genuinely love to hear if it’s useful to anyone else. (Side note works a lot better on a desktop and right now somewhat limited country wise)

Also like there are other companies actually doing similar stuff but I found that they aren’t giving you data you can check out against real surveyor data or manipulate the file once you got it, rather it would be a blob of a file mostly for aesthetics. So that was a part of the drive on this. Thanks in advance for feedback if you have any!

I’ve been with Thrive Suite for over 11 years. I’ve had an agency account the whole time. Built over 300 sites on their products. Then, a recent update caused a license attribution issue - nothing broke on the sites themselves, but while I was waiting on a fix I noticed something on their licensing dashboard: my unlimited license was now showing as capped at 15.

So I submitted a support request. Basic questions: what’s happening, is there a change to legacy plans, what’s the timeline?

That was almost two days ago. Nothing. Not even an acknowledgment.

I also noticed their system is still showing active license connections to sites that have been deleted. So their tracking is off, and that hasn’t been addressed either.

I posted in their Facebook group. Post is still sitting in approval queue.

Has anyone else run into this? Specifically curious if other agency/legacy account holders are seeing changes to their licensing.

Starting to wonder if something bigger is happening post-acquisition that they’re not communicating about.

I keep seeing the same pattern from “AI builders,” “web devs,” and would-be agency owners:

“Can AI build this entire app for me?”
“How do I get clients?”
“What stack should I use?”
“Is this idea good?”
“How do I charge $5k for a website?”
“Can someone explain APIs/databases/auth like I’m five?”

At some point, you are not “learning.” You are outsourcing the part where you are supposed to think.

AI is an incredible tool, but it is exposing a lot of people who want the reward of building without the responsibility of understanding what they are building. They want to sell websites without understanding positioning, performance, copy, SEO, conversion, hosting, maintenance, or client outcomes. They want to build apps without understanding users, data, auth, edge cases, deployment, security, or basic product logic.

And the worst part is that this floods the market with low-effort work.

Clients get burned by people who barely know what they are doing. Communities get clogged with the same lazy questions. Serious builders have to fight through noise created by people who think prompting is a replacement for competence.

There is nothing wrong with being new. There is nothing wrong with asking questions. But there is a difference between being a beginner and being lazy.

A good question shows effort:
“I tried X, got Y error, here is my code, here is what I think is happening.”

A lazy question is:
“Can someone tell me how to make money with AI/websites?”

If you want to use AI, great. Use it to move faster, test ideas, debug, learn, and produce better work. But stop pretending that copying prompts, reselling templates, and asking Reddit to think for you makes you a builder.

The market does not need more fake AI experts or $99 website resellers. It needs people who can actually solve problems, communicate clearly, and take responsibility for the thing they are selling.

Do the work. Learn the basics. Ask better questions. Build something real.
