Brutal feedback on my failed idea (anyone up for part-time interview?)
Hi, my startup idea is horrible.
But I don't know why, so I'm asking for opinions. Please take a moment and hit me with your brutal honesty.
Here's the idea: 1. Scrape all competitor ads. 2. Automatically run them using a bot account. 3. See their real CTR.
There are already services that either collect competitor ads or run and optimize ads for you, so my twist was combining these into one streamlined workflow.
But lately, seeing the poor performance of ads and landing pages makes me doubt if anyone actually needs this...
Here's my landing page: https://torty.ai
My product is almost finished, so yeah, I'm getting pretty desperate.
That's why I'm here, asking for your brutal feedback: * What assumptions did I get totally wrong? * What should I do to fix this mess?
So, if you have any opinion please contact me to bbqc123@gmail.com. Please give me a chance to hear from you
Three quick things: 1. If you are okay with a zoom call, then we can do it for an hour(max) for $60. Sorry for the low compensation—I'm surviving on $3 sandwiches these days 2. I'm Korean and can't directly transfer cash to US bank accounts, but I'm happy to send an Amazon gift card as a thank-you instead! 3. If you're familiar with Semrush, let me know—I'm super curious about how you use it!

Ask HN: Ask HN: How to fix issue and find the origin of bug in codebase?
I wondered how you people approach a bug problem in the issue section. I have never done these things. Since last week, I've been trying to understand the bug's real issue/origin. I couldn't solve it. Initially, I used git bisect and looked into commits & code. I still couldn't figure it out.
If I could understand how you approach these bugs and how they are fixed, what method do you use, and how do you look at the code to fix them? Then, honestly, it would be invaluable to me.
Also, if you could please share any resources or articles, I would be very interested in looking at them; I could take some lessons from them.
Thanks.
