This looks impressive, kudos.
Definately a novelty from HN audience standpoint.
By why would I as typical customer care how an agency (who you are substituting) converts sketch to site? I want quality, good price, fast delivery. Everything else can be a black box.
Don't get me wrong, not criticizing your idea or business model, just the marketing angle.
- johndamaia 7y agoExactly! You nailed it, our goal is to reduce the cost of Sketch to front-end code keeping the quality. We hope to reduce that cost with the help of AI. How can we improve our marketing angle then?
- janekm 7y agoI had the same reaction... Is "AI" a selling point to your likely customers? Otherwise it might be worth de-emphasizing it. You could turn it around... "We have humans generate your front-end code assisted by AI so we can keep prices affordable". To me, if I read "we use AI to do X" I read it as "we've got some algorithms that do a crappy job of X but we sell it cheap".
- johndamaia 7y agoInteresting point you are making. Never thought about it that way. Will definitely think about it in detail because in the that's exactly our selling point: "generate your front-end code assisted by AI so we can keep prices affordable".
- NewsAware 7y agoOf course you can leverage the uniqueness of the approach initially to get trials/pr (as you are doing here in HN), just that won't be sustainable as selling point.
- chirag64 7y agoYou should care as a customer because if the page needs fixes that the converter did not code properly (and probably cannot fix by itself), the code should be simple enough so that a single developer (or a small team) can change & fix it quickly
