If your website only offers email signups or magic links, nobody is going to use it. Period.

I learned this the hard way with Lervos. I had 2,000 visits in the first week, yet the only person in the database was me. It felt like a ghost town. I started doubting my own code! Added PostHog and it clicked. Magic links sound cool in theory, but in reality, people just want to click one button and get in.

I spent a little time adding Google OAuth, and within 48 hours, I finally started seeing real signups.

The rate at which people care about your product especially if it is new drops to zero the second they see a "Check your inbox" screen.

If you're building for general users, go with Google.

If you're building for developers, add GitHub.

If it's for gamers, use Discord.

Just don't make them type a password or wait for an email that's probably sitting in their spam folder.

Friction kills conversion. Fix your auth.

Hey everyone! I’m a 21M freelance dev from Algeria, and I was stuck in a cycle that was killing my productivity.

​I used to spend 20 to 30 minutes carefully crafting a single proposal for a client, only for it to never even be seen lol. At that rate, I could only apply to maybe 2 or 3 jobs an hour, and losing that much time for zero ROI was just soul-crushing.

​When I tried using AI to speed things up, I ran into a new problem: friction. Every single time I started a new chat, I had to "re-train" the AI on who I am, what I do, and the rules I like to follow. It was a productivity killer and honestly just demotivating.

​I ended up building a small private tool for myself to fix this.

I pre-loaded it with all my context so I could skip that "re-training" phase and It worked way better than I expected. I went from struggling to finish 2 proposals an hour to sending 6-8 high-quality applications in that same time.

​It felt too useful to keep as a private project, so I turned it into a platform called Lervos.

​It is pretty much freelance proposals written by AI, but it follows all the rules you set and knows your skills and projects once you set them up once not everytime you want to send in proposals.

​Free to try: You can jump in with Google/Github Sign-in or magic links its entirely passwordless.

​The Goal: I’m just trying to get my first 10 users so I can finally boast about it on LinkedIn lol.

​Feedback: If this saves you even one hour of boring work, I would be incredibly grateful for a positive review on Trustpilot and some advice in the comments.
