Gemini's brutal assessment of a vibe coding session

Ever had a startup idea stuck in your head because building landing pages, validating ideas, and creating a brand felt overwhelming or expensive? I built StarterPilot to solve that. It’s a web app that helps you take any idea and turn it into a real, visible project—today.

StarterPilot gives you instant market analysis, generates competitor breakdowns, creates unique names (with domain checks!), and even designs custom logo icons. The AI-powered landing page builder means your idea can have a home online in minutes, complete with a waitlist and contact form.

You can publish your idea to our global Idea Map, see how many people support it, and connect with others—all without spending a dime.

If you’ve got a backlog of ideas, or just want to see how fast you can go from concept to launch, give it a try: use promo code "FREESP25"

Happy to answer any questions here!

It's same guy, I thought my old account is flagged.

My only question is why you created a new account to post this yet again?

azizxe · 4h ago

Can I delete this and post again with my old account?

Your old account is still working, but you should participate here on stories submitted by other people before doing a Show HN. It looks like you just signed up for self-promotion and no other reason if you don't participate elsewhere, which means that regular users are likely to dismiss your Show HN as spam. That's probably why your previous submission of this project was flagged.

Thanks for the details, I will be more active with the old account.

Show HN, and HN in general, isn't for promoting products. Words like "free promo code" and "FAST&FREE" don't belong here.

Show HN is for showcasing something you've built that's technically interesting and that people can play with, without having to pay anything and ideally without having to sign up.

Yes, if it's useful enough, some people will sign up, pay for it, buy it, etc, but the primary purpose of the post should still be to showcase something cool you built that's technically impressive and interesting.

The guidelines and tips for Show HN are here:

As others have indicated, the HN community is unimpressed when people come in just to promote a product. It's better to take some time to contribute as a regular community member by posting interesting articles and engaging in discussion threads first.

Accounts don't get flagged, posts get flagged. You are off to a rocky start here. I'd recommend reading the following two pages, contributing to the discussions on the site for a while, then maybe trying to share something later:
