Dateup is a photo-first AI dating profile tool. Instead of generating a fake headshot, it fixes the photo you already have: better light, a cleaner background and subtle retouching, still you. Grok handles the photo edits, and OpenAI scores every photo out of 10 and writes openers from a screenshot of a match's profile. It runs on Next.js with Supabase auth and Dodo Payments. The part I'm proudest of is the SEO: 155K+ Google Search impressions and 1.2K+ clicks so far.

I built Soft Arrival, a newborn photography studio in Austin, around one simple problem:
Parents often want to book before their baby is born, but nobody knows the exact arrival date yet.
Instead of making them guess a session date, Soft Arrival lets them reserve a flexible Newborn Window around their due date.
Once the baby arrives, they tap “Baby’s Here”, enter the arrival date, and instantly get the best available session times.
For Sophie, the photographer, that means far less back-and-forth, fewer calendar changes, and almost no manual scheduling.
The whole idea is simple:
Due date → reserve a window → baby arrives → choose a session → booked.
Because babies don’t arrive by appointment.
It turned out amazing.
The problem
AI tools changed how fast good work gets made, but hiring still looks like 2015: long specs, hourly guesses, and no clear line between a prompt and a finished product. Clients want the result. Skilled people who build with AI want to be paid for outcomes, not hours.
What we built
VibeBay is a two-sided marketplace for finished AI work. A client posts what they need in plain words. Matched talent reply with a price, a delivery date and real samples. The client picks one, pays into escrow, and the money is released when they approve the work, or 7 days after delivery.
Inside the product:
Explore and search across six kinds of work, with talent profiles, portfolios, levels and reviews
Task posting, proposals with milestones, and checkout with escrow through Stripe
Real-time messaging between clients and talent
An AI assistant that helps clients describe the work and find the right person
Skill tests graded by AI, and profile import that turns an existing portfolio into a VibeBay profile
A full admin panel: approvals, moderation, support, orders and live campaign numbers
A pre-launch system with founding seats per country, referral codes and a countdown to opening day
How it's built
Next.js on Netlify, Supabase for the database, sign-in and file storage, Stripe for payments and escrow, Claude for the AI features, and Resend for email. Every page is checked automatically on each change at four screen sizes, from a small phone to a wide desktop, for accessibility and for broken buttons and links.
Where it is now
Founding seats are opening country by country, and the full marketplace opens on 31 October 2026.
