Built xosend to fix the XKCD 949 problem

About

I just realized it's been a whole year since I started working on xosend. It was only supposed to take a couple of months. I planned it to be a one-and-done project so that I'd finally ship something. Every other personal project I've started in the past decade has gotten 90% of the way there before being abandoned, usually for a good reason (and it happened more times than I'm comfortable admitting). But I think this was worth doing well, because it's a simple, everyday problem that was lacking a simple solution.

Founders, be honest: are you building an idea AI gave you?

No judgment, genuinely curious. How many of us asked ChatGPT for app ideas at some point, then ended up building one of them, or half-building it? The line between "my idea" and "the model's idea" got blurry this year. Where did your current project actually come from?

Anyone else new here? 🩻

Unlike most people on here I'm working on a non-AI related project, so I'm feeling a little like one of the weird kids who hangs out underneath the bleachers. You know them, they're the ones who prefer being talked about rather than talked to, given the choice. I know I'm not the only one though.

Anyway, I did it - there was my attempt at being friendly and social even though it's clear I'm really only here to market my app.
