I'm a marketer, not a developer.

This is my first tool ever. I built ScreenshotForX in a weekend using Lovable (AI coding tool).

The problem: I share my SaaS metrics on X (Twitter). Screenshots with nice frames get 5-10x more engagement than plain ones. But making them in Figma every time sucked.

The solution: Upload screenshot → auto-frame → share on X (https://screenshotforx.com/)

What happened (48h since launch): ~12 screenshots shared per hour on X Each screenshot has the tool watermark People see it → use the tool → follow me to support A community formed around it (people helping each other get monetized on X) Automatic Twitter growth for me without doing anything

I basically built my own growth loop by accident.

The build: Lovable (GPT-4 powered, generates React) ~8 hours over a weekend I can't explain the code if you asked me to

This was intentionally simple. No payments, no auth, no complexity. Just solving my own problem.

Next one will be harder: Planning to build something with Stripe integration and actual backend logic. But I wanted to start simple and ship fast.

For the HN crowd: Is this the right approach? Build something dead simple first, then level up? Or should I have learned proper development before shipping anything?

Honest feedback welcome.17:T4d6,Hey HN, We’ve been working on WarpParse, an open-source (Apache 2.0) ETL engine built in Rust, and we’re excited to share it with you today. We built it because we found that existing tools often struggled with resource efficiency or configuration complexity when handling massive log volumes. WarpParse aims to solve this with: Performance: 1.5x to 8x higher throughput than Vector in our benchmarks. Efficiency: Uses ~1/3 the C
