Why I chose DEV Community over Reddit to test my AI workspace

Hey everyone,

Let’s be honest though on Reddit, you can post a deeply technical architecture question and get feedback from someone whose only tech experience is accidentally setting their kitchen microwave to 12:00.

Plus, I’m already dealing with severe Founder Syndrome. I alternate between believing this app is the future of software and staring at my code at 3 AM wondering if I should throw my laptop out the window and open a coffee shop. I really don't need a random Redditor giving me an existential crisis over button padding.

Anyway, I’ve been building something for the past few months and I’m at the point where I need real people using it, not just me. It’s an AI workspace thing — think less “another chatbot” and more “a place your project actually lives and remembers itself.

Would you be up for trying it on something real you’re actually working on, for about a week?

Takes 2 minutes to start. I’ll send you what to do once you’re in.

Here’s the ask, and it’s simpler than it sounds:

Pick one real thing you’re actually working on — a project, a business idea, something you’re building or planning. Not a test, the real thing.
Create a Space for it. Describe it honestly, like you would to a person.
Use it like you’d use ChatGPT or Claude for that project — for a week. Upload the files you’d normally dig up again and again. Ask it what you’d normally ask.

⚠️ A VERY IMPORTANT NOTE / FAIR WARNING:
Please do NOT drop a comment if you only plan to open the app for 30 seconds, click around, and give feedback on the UI font or button colors.

I genuinely don't need feature requests or quick surface-level opinions right now. I am ONLY looking for people who will actually put a real project into it and use it for a few days. At the end of the week, the only question I care about is: Did it actually earn a spot in your daily workflow, or did you drift back to opening ChatGPT in another tab?
