Yeah, but that's only true when you use one model for yourself. More VRAM is needed for running such a service. It currently loads 6 models per single GPU. And I think I have some VRAM left to add even more.
At the beginning it was just burning money, but it stars to turn into profit.
The only secret to making it affordable is to autoscale based on a current image generation traffic. It runs on a mix of Tesla V100 and RTX 3090 from runpod.io vast.ai and Lambda Labs.
I actually went through a couple of iterations with it, starting as completely free service, then offering one time payments for image credits and now settled on subscriptions as I see there is a demand for the product. Especially AI Editor[1] which I think offers a unique value to the users.
It's a measure to prevent multi accounts. Some people really overuse free offering. Either your domain/IP is on a spam list or your email server may be misconfigured.
People did that a lot to get new free accounts from disposable email services (You can generate 100 images/mo for free). Around 15% of signups were disposable email multi accounts (40% of email signups).
I use email verification API for this. It states to make decisions based on public email blacklists and lists of disposable emails. Cleary it's not perfect
I don't see this as baiting. The link to a tool page was shared. It's transparent on the homepage and in the header. The text to image page just shows how it works without the need to create an account.
No, it's definitely a dark pattern. Everything about the page suggests that pressing the "generate 4 images" button will generate four images. And then it doesn't and tries to lever that anticipation to get a sign-in. It ends up just making users angry.
If you need a sign-in, e.g. to prevent abuse, you could start by explaining that a sign-in is required and why. At least then people won't be angry when they are ambushed by it
Ok, agree about that. Just did not have time to polish the details. It's not intentional. I've added login to the site, after nearly going bankrupt for offering free generations. The UI needs an update.
It's absolutely not transparent. Showing an active "start process" button that leads to a sign up / login form isntead of starting the process is absolutely not what users want or expect.
Great collection; I would love to see it becoming a number one site for discovering AI art tools. Some improvement ideas:
1. I would add a filter based on the type of content created in the tool. Seeing image generation alongside text generation was a little confusing. Choosing what I am looking for from the start would be easier.
2. Tags are great, but you can't click on them. Instead, it just redirects you to the tool's website.
3. Add more tools. I am the creator of the AI art tool – getimg.ai[1], which I have been building for more than a month. During that time, I've literally seen hundreds of different AI tools worth including on this site.
I had a same problem, but GA is only the tip of the iceberg. A lot of apps with analytics capabilities have usability problem. In some, metrics are hidden too deep and it's hard to navigate. Others lack simple features and do not let you change things like timezone or displayed currency. But the biggest pain point for me was integration with data from other apps.
To simplify things I am building Raport[1]. Raport integrates metrics from multiple sources (GA, Search Console, Stripe, Adsense) and displays them in clear and simple to use dashboard. It is not an alternative to GA and other tools, but rather works alongside them as an additional interface, where you can view all your data. For me personally Raport saved me a lot of time I spent in GA and Search Console.
Yeah, I agree with that. A lot of these tools have usability issues. I kinda like Search Console but Google Analytics or Facebook Business gave me some terrible data analysis experiences.
I checked out your tool. Looks perfect for my needs but I need do dive a bit deeper to say more. I assume you plan to add more integrations in the future. Have you thought about adding an integration with LinkedIn? That’d be helpful for me.
I agree, Facebook Business is the worst. And it crashes in Safari.
Our plan is to create integrations for social media platforms next (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter). I do not have experience with LinkedIn, but we'll definitely add it too, if there is data to analyze.
Feel free to explore the app and leave us a feedback if you want.
Hey, I wanted to share Raport with you. It is our analytics software, currently in beta-testing phase.
We are a team of 2 and right now we are trying to show our work to the world.
Around 40 people created an account during last 2 weeks. We already got some feedback and noticed that people use primarily one of our features. That's why we pivoted a bit. We redesigned the website to focus on this one feature.
I'd love your feedback on the webpage. Especially if you can understand what you can get from using the product. But any feedback on design and copywriting is more than welcome.
The feedback on how the app works and whether you find it useful or not is something we would appreciate the most.
If you've got any questions, we're both available to answer.
Over the years I managed several different online projects. Not too big, but without a budget for data team or enterprise grade analytics solution. With each project I frustrated over the complexity of data analytics process, how much time I spent on it.
I tried many technics, concepts and tools. Over and over I found myself jumping between browser tabs, comparing metrics (SEO, Ads, Revenue, Web, Social Media), exporting, merging data and gathering insights. All that so my projects could grow in the most efficient way.
The problem was, that growth, even when defined as increase in single metric, required improvement in lots of secondary ones. These secondary metrics were scattered across different dashboards and different apps. And it happened regardless of the business type I was in.
e.g. You want to grow your Revenue (in Stripe) → You find out that most of your paid sign ups come from search engines (in Google Analytics/Mixpanel etc.) → So you want to increase your CTR from Google (in Search Console).
e.g. You want more DAU (in Mixpanel) → They come from different channels: paid ads, organic, social media → You want to slightly increase impressions/CTR of each one (in Google Ads, Twitter and Google).
I wanted to change that and put all important metrics in single, easy to use dashboard. So over the last couple of months I found a cofounder and built MVP of our all-in-one analytics app — Raport. We've set ourselves on an ambitious goal — reducing complexity of web analytics. It's been fun and we're just getting started.
We recently launched public beta, integrating 5 data sources in one dashboard. We also deliver daily email reports and send alerts when interesting changes happen.
Test it for yourself or I'd be happy to explain more.
Me and my co-founder have been running several side projects. In order to grow, we had to stay up to date with a lot of metrics, such as: revenue, pageviews, bounce rate, SEO clicks, social media engagement and many, many more.
Those metrics came from different data sources such as: Stripe, AdSense, Google Analytics, Search Console or Google Ads. For example revenue was coming from Stripe, Google AdSense and 3 other publishing partners so we had to put it all in Google Sheets to see how we're performing.
We finally realized how much time and effort it all takes. The time we should spend on marketing, sales and product development. That was when we thought it would be great to have an app that would connect metrics from all these web apps, display all our data in one dashboard and send us email reports and alerts when anomalies occur.
So we started searching but the few products we found didn't meet our expectations. That's when we decided to build Raport.
Now it's ready and free to play with. We are now in beta testing phase so feel free to join and share any feedback you may have.
