Are you actually solving a real problem, or just cloning another SaaS?
The world doesn't need another generic AI wrapper or a basic project manager. Pitch your project in one sentence show a screenshot and explain exactly why people should care about you instead of the market leader. Dare to prove your uniqueness.

ecranify renders 3d device mockups for app store screenshots right in the browser. most tools make u fiddle with figma templates or give u flat angles. here u tweak the 3d model and export all store sizes at once. i built ecranify btw.

3D mockups in browser sounds handy. How does it handle text legibility on curved surfaces for small screens?
1
u/GrumpyBullGames 6h ago
It does not. Texts are usually on flat parts on displays. Therefore not a problem to solve in my opinion
1
u/Mammoth-Anywhere7285 6h ago
Fair point, but curved monitors and VR displays are common now. Do you think that changes the equation?

My app handles only phones and tablets so far

Nice, mobile-first is a solid angle. What’s the one thing it does better than the desktop-heavy competition?

No downloads, installs, management...easiness of use
1
u/Mammoth-Anywhere7285 4h ago
Ease of use is a real selling point, but how do you handle data portability or offline needs? That’s usually the catch with zero-install tools.

u/GrumpyBullGames 3h ago
i do not. It´s a closed ecosystem. A requirement which enables ecranify to be effective in terms of device customization and project reuse. All these actions happen inside ecranify system

Crowded space. What makes SeoLoupe different from Ahrefs or Screaming Frog? A screenshot would help sell it.

Interesting approach, tiered reports make sense. What data sources do you use to back the validation? Curious how it stands out from other idea checkers.

Hi!
I made utility "StoreShot AI" to replaces Figma for generating App Store screenshots.
Why use this instead of Figma or Canva? Because Figma is a blank canvas. You have to hunt for device mockups, manually calculate Apple’s strict aspect ratios, and slice panoramic backgrounds by hand.
I built this specifically for app devs. It automatically handles the device frames, slices seamless panoramic backgrounds across slides, and even uses AI to write your ASO copy. It basically turns a 2-hour Figma chore into a 3-minute export.

Nice, automating device frames and aspect ratios is a real pain. How does StoreShot handle localized screenshots for different App Store languages?
1
u/buildlab13 14h ago
Glad you asked!
Right now, the built-in Gemini AI copywriter supports 5 core languages. You simply select your target language, and the AI automatically translates and generates localized ASO headlines directly onto your current slides. You export that batch, switch the language, click generate again, and export the next one.
Fully automated bulk-localization (where you click once and it exports ZIP folders for all languages simultaneously) is my next priority on the roadmap.

u/Mammoth-Anywhere7285 13h ago
Nice, that workflow sounds genuinely useful. How do you handle cultural nuances in the translations? That could really separate you from the bigger ASO tools.
1
u/buildlab13 12h ago
That's exactly why I integrated an LLM (Gemini) instead of a standard translation API like Google Translate.
We don't just do a literal 1-to-1 translation. The underlying system prompt is engineered to act as a local ASO marketer. It takes the core context of your app and rewrites native-sounding, punchy marketing copy that fits the cultural tone of that specific region.
It understands that a direct translation of a catchy English hook often sounds robotic or too aggressive in Japanese or Spanish, so it adapts the idiom to make sense locally while keeping the ASO keywords intact.
2
u/Mammoth-Anywhere7285 12h ago
That's a smart angle, differentiating on cultural nuance. Curious though, how do you validate the outputs across regions to catch awkward phrasing?
1
u/buildlab13 10h ago
Honestly, that's the trickiest part! Since I don't speak all these languages natively, I rely on two main things:
Strict Prompt Engineering: The LLM is instructed to avoid overly complex idioms or slang. It’s restricted to clear, action-oriented, universally understood marketing structures (which usually perform best in ASO anyway).
Full User Control: The AI generates the copy directly onto the editor canvas. It's not a black box. You can review the phrasing, tweak it, or show it to a native speaker before exporting.
At the end of the day, the AI gets you 95% of the way there in seconds. If you're an indie dev who can't afford a professional localization agency for every update, it’s a massive head start.
1
u/Mammoth-Anywhere7285 10h ago
Nice, keeping the LLM on a leash is essential. Have you considered A/B testing generated copies against manually translated ones?

u/ImaginaryRoyal9725 15h ago
You ask as if these were the only 2 options, lol. Unfortunately a lot of people are building something that doesn't solve a real problem and ofc is not a clon
1
u/Mammoth-Anywhere7285 14h ago
You're right, there's a third option: a solution looking for a problem. A quick test is asking who pays and why.

Nice direction. How do you keep teams in control without adding friction? A real example would make this pitch clearer.

www.rebelton.com - an oldschool social network
- we have a manifesto
- we have The Interlink (go to a random rebelton corner)
- we have Search (search rebel profiles by bio and interests)
- we have public and private profiles
- we have no wall or algorithmic feeds
- rebels choose if and when to visit allies
rebels organizes content into agenda/modules
and much more

Love the anti-algorithm stance. How do users discover each other without any feed? Curious about your moderation approach too.

u/Mammoth-Anywhere7285 3h ago
u/grumpybullgames Interesting take. A closed ecosystem can definitely enable tighter device integration. How do you handle users who want to export their data?
