For fun (and no profits!), I built an AI-powered haiku poetry and generative visual art app. It started as a daily puzzle (https://haikudle.ai, previously shown on HN), then evolved into an authoring tool with curated daily haikus (https://HaikuGenius.ai).

To learn more about SEO, digital marketing, and other areas I hadn't explored in much depth yet, I tried bringing it to market with modest success. It's been a fun journey so far, and I’ve documented the first legs here: https://medium.com/@desmat.ca/a-genai-haiku-journey-part-1-a... and https://medium.com/@desmat.ca/a-genai-haiku-journey-part-2-f....

I'm also experimenting with a similar format for limericks (https://limericks.ai) but I haven’t cracked that nut yet.

Same here, still chasing them for a refund but not holding my breath. My feeling is that they have a great product but can't get their production groove going, hitting delays, defects and requests for refunds. Wouldn't surprise me if they went out of business soon. The irony is that I chose Marbel over Boosted for the better range over a year ago!
