About building the app:

The app started as an small app to learn how to serve widgets and by adding features one by one it grew to an extensive platform.

I usually follow the same pattern, first minimum working app and test if the idea is worth it. Then add, db, auth + other integrations one by one. When code files/routes begin to grow too big I ask the agent to refactor to modular code so its easier to maintain later on.
Mostly worked with the Agent, always created a new git branch for new feature and merged when it was functional (in case it fails I just ditch the branch). Used Assistant for smaller tweaks and fixes. With Agent v3 worked in the low setting for controlling costs.

Spent quite a lot of time (and $) with the widget functionality, response types and survey system to so all different response types were correctly rendered. Backend outputs JSON stream form AI that is parsed on the fly and rendered on UI.


Looking forward to hearing your feedback and suggestions!

Awesome! Are you going to try to get it in Wix and Squarespace app stores?

In my experience with my website, a lot of these apps slowed load times significantly and load failures for a lot of visitors. If you’ve built it with optimization in mind, this would be awesome!

Thanks, I will definetly check out Wix and Squarespace stores. I didn’t know about those and Im still unsure how to market it. I will first use the widget in my other project to find out if there are any bugs left.

The widget is lightweight but I did some further optimizations for the widget, so now it doesn’t affect or block external page loading.

Nice, keep an eye on page load times and testing across different devices (I think Google Search Console works for this?)

I tried to look for a solid chatbot on Wix and there wasn’t anything there. Definitely check it out, if it’s not super technical to implement those two marketplaces would be a great spot for this.
