    Roast my MVP: I launched today and need your feature requests! πŸ˜…πŸš€

    ​Hey everyone,

    ​I just officially launched Aivlo (an AI-powered bulk image renamer) here on SaaSHive today!

    ​The core engine is solid, it uses AI vision to analyze images, generate SEO-rich filenames, and embed EXIF metadata instantly. But as a solo founder, I've been staring at this UI for so long that I need some fresh eyes and honest critiques.

    ​I really want to build the next phase of this tool with the community. To make it completely frictionless, I put a promo code directly on our SaaSHive launch page that gives you a full month totally free to test it out.

    ​If you have a couple of minutes to grab that code and run a batch of images today, I would absolutely love your feedback. Specifically:

    • ​What features would you need added to make this a no-brainer for your workflow?

    • ​What UI/UX elements feel clunky or confusing right now?

    ​(Sneak peek: Based on my own frustrations, we are already in the early stages of integrating direct connections for Google Drive and Dropbox! πŸ‘€)

    ​Please drop your feature wishlists, bug reports, or UI roasts below. Do your worst! 😳

    Love the courage to ask for a public roast, Chris! I'm not your target user but I can tell you this: founders who invite honest feedback this early always build better products. The promo code on your SaaS Hive page is a smart move. Hope you get some good roasts today!

    I appreciate that, Olga! The way I see it, the only thing truly nerve-wracking is launching and hearing nothing at all. A solid public roast is basically just free consulting to help Aivlo take off. Thanks for the support and for building this space! 🐝

    What helped me a lot to understand what is the service is about and how to use it is your video tutorial: https://aivlo.ai/tutorials. The demo was clear and the UI looked very intuitive. I am not your target user but if I was, it would be even easier to understand what it is. So I think you did a great job! Although I did get overwhelmed a little bit by the number of options I saw on the pricing page. It was just to many for me :) But again, maybe because I am not your target audience.

    Hey Sergey, thank you so much for checking out the tutorial video! Hearing that the demo was clear and the UI felt intuitive is a huge compliment coming from a fellow builder. You also make an incredibly fair point about the pricing page feeling overwhelming. I am actually strongly considering moving to a simple pay-for-usage model (with no monthly subscription) to completely strip away that complexity. I really appreciate you taking the time to look through the site and give me such actionable feedback!

    It is not easy to make things simple. When building UI I always follow the principle "Don't make user think". But it is not easy :). For SaaS Hive we have a similar challenge - trying to make the pricing page simple: https://saashive.com/pricing There we decided to have three subscription packages only. The first one is free. The three offers to select from, has been proven a successful pattern by many other websites. We also like it and decided to adopt it. Making UI simple is not easy :). We will not get it the first time. But with little iterations, improving a little bit each time, eventually we will have a better UI.
