I think its a personal call. If as an engineer you value your art you will go deep, be the best at what you do, and be valuable in the correct context. If you're a product manager you just need to know enough to communicate with engineers or to make informed technology decisions. Either way, whatever you are or do, there is in my opinion more merit in pursing depth in whatever you do.

Thank you for that. Yes I did fill out that form. I only realised the shadow ban several months after it was implemented. The clues were not being able to update user handle, server error thrown when accessing profile, content suppression. So it's serverwide. I've decided to move on. I closed my account.

I don't see how the OP layering utilities on top of python remediates on the claim that the language is not "production ready". Which it clearly is.

I think you could adjust your mindset on this issue.

AI is a tool.

If you already have the fundamentals neccessary to call yourself a software developer, ie. architecture, algorithms, language coding standards and style guides, UX, maintainability, robustness, correctness etc. then AI is just accelerating that for you, not exempting you from it.

If you need to scratch a learning itch then that's something else, and AI can help there too. Just ask it.

I also think if your product idea is so sensitive to a launch timeline that precludes manual coding not to fail, then you have a bigger problem.

Thanks again for the insight that you would purchase based on value.

I personally would like to see more developers rolling out professional software as themselves.

Opinion appreciated!

Hey, thanks for checking it out and for the feedback.

Yes, it's deliberately simple from a workflow point of view, ie. choose file->remove background->set background color (optional)->save file.

The real value proposition is that it brings the same AI that similar online services provide to the desktop with a once-off perpetual license.

A video walkthrough of it being used is definitely a good idea as you mentioned. And yes it fits in the tool category - easy, single purpose, and simple.

Thanks for the critique of the website UI. We definitely don't want to conjure up PowerPoint from the 90's!

Much appreciated!

By the way, what do you think about trying to sell an app under a personal brand rather than a product website or company name?

Commercial Python desktop GUI apps are feasible.
