fideliocore.com is the first project I’ve actually finished instead of half-assing. It watches Reddit for threads where your ICP is asking for what you sell, and drafts a reply in your voice. You hit post.

The meta part: I don’t have a user base yet, so I’m manually doing what the product does. Scrolling subs, finding threads like this one, and posting. Figured I’d just be upfront about it.

Asked family and friends for feedback and got nothing useful, so I’m here. Specifically:

1.	Is the value prop clear within 5 seconds of landing?

2.	Does the pricing ($29/mo, no free trial) feel fair for a private beta with no social proof yet?

3.	Anything that screams ‘built by a beginner’ that I should fix before I drive real traffic?

Not looking for sympathy clicks. Looking for the stuff my friends were too nice to say.

I have spent the last few weeks developing an AI tool that watches Reddit for posts where my future customers are asking questions and drafts a reply in my voice that I review and post.

The idea: most founders say Reddit is their best inbound channel, but they spend 60-90 minutes a day scrolling for the right threads. The drafting is the easy part. So I built the discovery side and kept the writing semi-manual.

Tech stack: Next.js, Supabase, Anthropic Claude (Haiku for the drafts, Sonnet 4.6 to extract a structured voice profile from the user's writing samples). Hosted on Vercel. Roughly 80 hours of work to get to a working private beta.

I asked for feedback from family and friends, but got the same response, "That's so impressive you built it yourself, its great" What I'd actually like feedback on:

1. Is the positioning clear or does it sound like another AI spam bot?

2. Is $29 a month reasonable for indie hackers, or would usage-based pricing land better?

3. What are the obvious failure modes I'm probably missing? (Assume the prompt actually works, so the answer is something other than "AI replies are bad on Reddit".)

4. Anyone built something similar? I'd love to compare notes on what worked vs what didn't.

5. I also thought about targeting course sellers, as people on reddit are looking for mentors, so they could be my ideal customer.

Roasts welcome. Will read every reply.
