24 alternatives to sweepstakes + Twitter = TweetStakes
A friend of mine and I were talking a while back and we realized that it would be cool to run some sweepstakes on Twitter. We put up a sign up page for a while to collect some emails and we got 200 sign ups. Once we received some sign ups we got together about 2 weekends ago and we put together a web application that lets people create sweepstakes on Twitter by counting the mentions and picking winners etc. I want to get your opinion on the site before we let those 200 people know that we are ready for beta. I would very much appreciate your feedback. Thanks in advance. The url is:…

Hey, I'm Stan and I made a app called Contestit. It's a social media giveaway app that let's users create giveaways. It gives the user a link they can share to their followers. What I always disliked or found annoying about giveaways is the fact that they were all the same, here's the prize. All you got to do is like, follow, and comment to be entered. That always bored me so i wanted to make it more interactive. Here's how it works: Users still get a shareable link for their giveaway, but after people sign up, they can play games to earn more entries instead of just waiting around. Right…

Hi there, So a buddy a couple of days ago came up with the idea for a new SaaS product regarding gpt and image generation. We did a quick MVP that barely works, it breaks almost 50% of the time but we still wanted to validate the idea before going all in. We have almost 1k followers on Twitter together. Did a quick post describing the idea with a stripe link in the comments with a 5$ value, no landing page, and no shipped product. In exchange, the buyers become beta users. Around 30 mins later we got our first sale next 30 mins another 5$ and so on. Do we consider the idea validated? The…

Hi HN, I created a (realistic) fake tweet generator to make my mum believe I'm successful until I get there for real haha. Now I can proudly (not) show her Elon endorsed my SaaS! It's 100% free to use and I tried to make it as realistic as possible while being easy to use. There are already existing similar tools but I could not find one that automatically pre-fills data from a twitter username and that handles business accounts (square picture/gold badge/company picture) so I built it. I would love to hear your feedback or suggestions!

This is my first SaaS, and I built it out of my own frustration. I wanted a better way to manage promo code giveaways for students or run campaigns on Reddit, but the manual process was a time sink. I spent hours sorting DMs, trying to be fair, and getting zero useful data from the whole process. I lost opportunity from users genuinely interested in my products. This is where I realized my "first 20 DMs" giveaway was a liability, I needed to turn it into a marketing asset. So, I built Promo Code Queue: https://promocodequeue.com It's a web app that automates the entire giveaway…

This weekend a well-known comedian was live-tweeting sardonic commentary for a new Lifetime movie. It got me thinking that it would be cool to be able to replay his tweets later so that someone who missed the live show would be able to sync them up with the movie. That, along with the fact that I've had lots of fun on Twitter during big events (like the elections), made me think that it'd be a fun hack to put together a Twitter playback site. So last night and tonight I threw together http://www.twitterplayback.com. Check it out an let me know what you think!

www.schmeebs.com I built this site in two days. I tried to make it a fusion of Twitter + Digg in that people will be able to follow certain "domains" of news then be able to see popular stuff from there. Its as real time as it can be at this point. Would welcome any thoughts on it!

I'd love any reviews or constructive criticism. https://www.airpair.com/posts/review/54fcfe16c1534a0c00e6c839 If you'd just like to check out the bot, you can find him at @SouthBotFunWest Thanks HN!

The following HN post prompted me to make this: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2168220 I have created http://onememory.me Alright, so it's not super-viral. It has been online for about 3 hours, so far. I made two or three tweets about it, and posted it on my Facebook wall. Within the three hours, I've seen ~200 unique visitors and had only 31 of them register. A very large percentage of that traffic all came from Twitter. Not many people seem to be sharing their URLs by way of my "tweet this" or facebook share buttons, though. I'll be making those more prominent soon. It's a similar…

I had an idea for this concept for a while and decided to build a little website around it. It's kind of a silly idea but I'm really curious to see how it plays out. If you're a particularly curious person, be warned. By submitting a payment to the game, you get to see how many other people were curious enough to play. You will be ranked based on your payment amount, and get to discover some interesting insights about the game's dynamics. Hope you like it
