my first saas. i think i built something people actually want and completely failed at the business side. would genuinely love help. openpaper ( writes full, cited research papers from a prompt. research, outline, writing, real citations, export. the honest numbers: - ~2,300 signups - ~1,500 generated a full paper. people actually use it. - ~5 have ever paid. ~$45/mo. activation is great, revenue is basically zero. i've been staring at this for weeks. the paywall is on export (pay ~$12 to download the pdf). but the full cited paper is right there on screen, free, you can read it and copy-paste it. so i'm charging for the gift wrap after handing over the gift. almost nobody even reaches checkout. 76% generate exactly one paper and leave. one-and-done, so subscriptions make no sense. the audience is mostly students and researchers on personal gmail, all over the world, almost none on university or company emails. traffic is x and github. so i genuinely can't tell

I think it turned out solid because of that.

I rebuilt my landing page after 300+ visitors still didn’t understand what my app does. I’ve been building a spatial thinking environment called ThinkSpatial, and one of the hardest parts hasn’t been building the product. It’s been explaining what it is in the first few seconds. The basic idea is simple. You speak or type, and your thinking gets turned into a visual map instead of disappearing into a chat box, doc, or note-taking app. My first landing page was way too focused on showing h

Read research papers is funny but find the right one is challenging If I want read a research papers always time consuming: - visit the repository - start bunch of filters - download PDF, read it.. - then what next? reading history missing.. Why not use excel to save the link? this work again, I'm not happy :( and... how to make sure I read paper properly? no test, no judging.. right? Why not AI papers finder tools like SciSpace, Elicit or something like that? Again.. to
