Thumbnailer - collect feedback on your thumbnails
Created an app for content creators to collect feedback on their thumbnails before even uploading a video. My goal was to make this usable for people that don't have an audience as well which is why I built a discover page feeding you a random thumbnail test from other users. You can check it out here https://thumbnailer.xyz

I built my first SaaS and wanted to walk you guys through how I went about it 🙌 This was just a quick weekend project but if you have any suggestions let me know! I want to improve this a lot over the coming weeks so that it's actually a product worth paying ...
as for the question about Radom there are a few solutions I can think of:
1. use an action instead
2. make a new table that contains sets of "random results". Then periodically shuffle this table.
3. have a "seed" stored in a table, then periodically rotate this seed
