with 7 years in the security industry, i've seen how most startups don't survive a breach or security incident. 1 in 5 apps built with AI ship with critical vulnerabilities! that's why i built vibeappscanner.com - an external security scanner designed for vibe coded apps. it's easy, affordable and could save your butt

@dasherpro @outrank_so much appreciated

Hey Jacob, thanks a lot for your trust I'm on it with my co-founder, thanks to you we just realized they were a front issue even if the back end was alright You will receive an email confirming the validation and we will push the rest of your product analysis + dofollow etc We will also give you a free 1 week featured too (for this encountered bug)

Glad to see the effort is finally paying off. After more than 50 days, flaex .ai has gone from 2 DR to 42 DR - Actively posted my articles via @outrank_so - Created high-quality and useful free tools that are compatible with my platform and designed to help builders and creators (I'll be adding more soon) - Improved canonical URL optimization for better ranking - Fixed my SEO issues, 404 errors, and incorrect indexing - Optimized our tools page presentation (with more in-depth infos + UGC scrapped content) to maximize AI Visibility - And once all this was done, i finalized with @DStartupsubmit It's better to have something solid before submitting platforms, so you get the most of it (and perform better with upvotes)

@louisfroli Glad you like it!

@silexdev Thanks for the value 🙌🏼

how do you boost conversion of your free tier? last week i trialed a simple pricing structure: - free quick scans - paid 29$/month deep scans conversion rate: 0.6% 2 possibilities: 1) free tier is too generous 2) 29$ monthly is too expensive with commitment so now i'm trialing a cheaper one time 10$ deep scan. if the conversions are still low, i think my free scan might be too generous

new stats card for vibe app scanner's landing page

i made 522$ in january! not enough to quit my day job but it's a start 😅 securecommerce: 217$ vibe app scanner: 305$ february goal: 600$

@madalinabalazs why is that gif so perfect haha

yesterday i had 150+ sign ups from indonesian accounts and couldn't figure out why! turns out someone shared vibeappscanner on threads and it got 10k views :) translates to: "This is what you call a 'programmer' - not just criticizing but collaborating and providing solutions"

@httpdeals_ Got it! Yeah that makes sense :)

@silexdev My point is that at a 1% conversion rate from a sample of 40 is nowhere near any statistical viability. Having 40 in a waitlist is a signal to that "entrepreneur" that he needs to do more out reach work. He needed at 400 people if not a 1000 people on the waitlist.

40 people signed up for my wait-list and no one signed up.. Holy sh_t -- this person thought 40 people on a waitlist is viable. Imagine getting a 1% conversion on a waitlist of 40.. (People are just out of touch) Imho

@madalinabalazs can't wait for woltex hoodies!!!

@itskingdrey Shoot me a message!

@silexdev Hey man, would like to connect with you

@iamlukethedev same thing happened to me! 25 waitlist signups and 0 scans run. i'm not sure if it's just waitlists that are the issue or if its build in public. but i will say that most build in public posts are about follower count increases, not actually building a product 😅

Build in public lied to me. When I first shared the idea for ShotSnap, devs loved it. 40 people joined the waitlist. I was pumped. Then I shipped. I emailed every single one of them. Zero replies. So now I’m asking the real question: Were they actually interested or just farming engagement? Is build in public validating ideas or just validating tweets?

@dev_ilyesbacha haha i know what you mean! there's so many features its kind of overwhelming

@silexdev Posthog is really nice, I still find new little things from time to time lol, but I just use the core stuff otherwise my ADHD will takeover.
