Last month I built a content orchestration tool for myself. Some people wanted to use it, so I turned it into a (vibe coded) SaaS over a week.
Got 6 paying users in the first week, which was surprising. But now I'm buried in feature requests and realized I need funding to build this properly.
I reached out to some contacts for intros. Most asked for a deck. I couldn't bring myself to make another Canva presentation.
So built a 2D platformer playable deck instead.
Built with vanilla JS and Canvas. The whole thing is about 1500 lines of code. Takes maybe a minute to play through.
Curious what HN thinks - whether this approach to pitching is clever or just weird.
