Shipped slideshows for lowkey viral today. Then had Iris, my OpenClaw agent, stress-test every endpoint. She pulled art from my repos, rendered slideshows and grids, and scheduled a week of content across TikTok/IG/YT.

I tried it but I don't think it worked

Thank you! I've tested a few ai video tools, but the grid format gets more views and is cheaper to generate (since it's just a hook and 4 images)

Black Friday means 50% off for lowkey viral! πŸ”₯

It’s been amazing seeing businesses grow with viral reels & TikToks. With this deal, you can create viral videos for as little as $0.22 each. Insane value for marketing.

Gen AI app founders, how do you price your products?
I currently charge 0.375$/0.25$/0.22$ (3 plans) per video, assuming all credits are used. I pay 0.17$ to replicate plus Stripe fees and hosting costs.
This is a low margin but credits expire after a month.

Should I charge more? #buildinpublic

Starting with low pricing for early users (and increasing it later) vs starting with a higher price and offering a coupon discount for early users, what works better?

Thinking of increasing lowkeyviral pricing so I can offer discounts for producthunt, black Friday,...

Seeing this work so well, I knew other indie hackers could use it too. So today, I’m launching lowkeyviral.com! πŸš€ Try it out and let me know what you think! πŸ™Œ
Since AI photo generation is costly, the free trial uses a lower quality image model (flux-schnell).

The results? Each video now gets thousands of views on both IG Reels and TikTok! πŸ”₯ It takes us less than 5 minutes to schedule 3-4 of these videos every day, and app downloads are WAY up. This simple format turned everything around.

Always looking for an excuse to build instead of doing marketing, I wrote a tool for myself to make videos in this format even faster. From a short prompt it generates a catchy hook + 4 images and turns it into a mp4 ready to post.

So, I gave it a shot. We tried the 4-photo grid format for the first timeβ€”and suddenly got decent views! πŸŽ‰ Even better? This format took only 10 mins to make, compared to the long hours we’d spent on other videos.

That’s when I noticed a pattern πŸ‘€. Successfull indie app builders kept posting with the same style: fading in a 4-photo grid and a catchy hook. Their posts were getting massive views.

At first, we posted on Reels and TikTok, but nothing took off. The content looked good, but the views just weren’t there. So, I started digging into what successful app builders were doing differently.

Love seeing how active the #buildinpublic community is here!

2 months ago, I launched menu translator app, but realized that building an app is easier than getting people to download it!
So I jumped into social media marketing, with some major help from friends.
