Hey HN, I built robotsave.me in a short burst of inspiration as a portfolio piece. The idea: A fake AI productivity tool that pretends to automate your job with one click. But behind the joke, my real goal was to:
Now that it's out, I feel it’s... missing bite.
It doesn’t hit the “this is hilarious but also kind of real” note I was aiming for.Looking for feedback and ideas. Specifically:
Should I go full parody (like a fake SaaS pricing page)? Or stay dry and subtle?
Any ways to anchor this more in reality, maybe by turning it into commentary on AI, layoffs, or startup culture?
For example: “Robot saved my job by firing me before my boss could,” etc. Would that help or distract?
If you didn’t know this was a dev portfolio piece, would you get it?
I’m aiming for “sarcastically sincere.” Does that come across or fall flat?Note: The site does use real AI calls in the background (OpenAI + Zapier), so please go gentle — there's a usage cap and it’ll stop working if abused Would love your thoughts — and if it made you chuckle, all the better. Thanks! |
