Take off every Zig!


What you say


I think the idea is pretty great – I'd use it!

But... pretty much every design in your customer design showcase has some major design problems, from a really basic graphic design POV.

I feel the the promise of this tool should be "you don't need to worry about your design eye, we've got that".

Based on those images, it doesn't feel like it lives up to that.


Yeah, agreed. The examples are more proof-of-concept than portfolio right now. The hard part isn’t generating layouts, it’s getting the AI to actually see good design. That’s what we’re working on next. Thanks!


Yeah the typography in general is very amateurish. The imagery is okay.


"A lot of “AI design” tools today generate images. GreenOnion doesn’t. You bring your own images"


Really lucid writing, an absolute pleasure to read - especially as someone who has used etymonline for many decades without even considering who was behind it.

You should 100% have a sample tool for people to play with on this homepage.


Yep, I'm not giving my email to something before I have a decent understanding of what it does. Even the "Try it out" redirects you instantly to a signup modal.


I was interested in it a bit, but not interested enough to fill the form. It's not even about the email address, but just the effort. I know it's ridiculous, but that's how it works. "Don't make me think".


It also has no data import functionality so if your project is over 50 tasks (basically anything remotely business scale) you’re gonna be sat doing data entry for a while.


Or even just a sample video. There’s a good bit of friction before even knowing what this is.



Stacker (YC S20) | Full-time | Product Engineer | 100% REMOTE (limited to Europe!)

We're on a mission to let anyone create software, by building a platform to let you instantly create apps from the data you already have. We want to change the way software is built. That's a pretty big task, and we've got some exciting problems.

If you're a product-minded engineer, come and talk to us about how we're building a platform that lets us run rich, flexible apps built without fully code.

Our stack is a React frontend, Python backend. Postgres, Memcached, Elasticsearch and everything running on Docker/Kubernetes. Experience in React is a must, but everything else is a bonus.

You'll be creating a React-based app editor that lets users create software through their browser, and building a backend that can connect to any data source and simulate running complex data processes.

We're a fully remote team of 15 people, with ambitious growth and product plans for the coming months! Post-pandemic we'll also be meeting up in person every few months for social activities and further collaboration opportunities.

We believe in Radical Transparency, being Empathetic and Kind and Making a Dent in the Universe.

> where you [as a seller] pays the buyer for considering your services

Isn't this just ads?


Not advertising in the traditional sense. Today, many of the ad's you see are based on data collected about you. There is no "opt-in" and you are not compensated.

We envision a model whereby you select which promotions to participate in, based on your needs/interest "and" how much you will receive in compensation.

From the seller standpoint, we believe the costs to reach a consumer will be similar. Yet, the consumers they do reach will have a genuine interest in the offering. Thus the promotion has the potential to offer a better response. To be clear, the seller is able to select which members qualify for the promotion [Ex. based on location, occupation, TRU Score, etc].

From the buyer standpoint, we view this an an improvement over the current model. There is no privacy violation or personal data sharing with strangers. You have the freedom and choice of which promotions to participate in. Assuming it works as planned, it would allow you to make a more informed buying decision.
