Congratulations on launching William. There's quite a bit of criticism here that'll help you refine your app I think. I'm working on a something similar and already learning from the discussion here around user experience and privacy. All the best.

I appreciate it! It’s bound to happen when it’s my first time launching an app. All criticism is good criticism, only up from here. Thanks for the comment!

Maybe some inspiration from Germany: Linda Büscher did the same while graduating. Press coverage at Business Insider https://www.businessinsider.de/gruenderszene/business/20-jae... Her product https://www.bulletpoint.app/

I’ve never checked that out. It seems cool, thanks for pointing that out.

I'm 95% certain your testimonial is AI generated, and if it's not you need to get another one. You shouldn't also use the same image for the testimonial as the first image in your xyz users are using app.

Photo of my friend graduating? I don’t know how to make a less AI looking photo then that lol

How are you keeping data private as stated in your FAQs? Is the data not shared with an AI company in order to generate all the smart features?

It’s shared with OCR, and gpt o3 but they don’t save any of the information and the ai doesn’t learn from previous uploads.

The sign up verification email points you to localhost https://llrnghrthzeonfuakaew.supabase.co/auth/v1/verify?toke... Hahahaha, I can't believe I found the meme in the wild!

First time making an app lol. Thanks for letting me know.

You have to allow people start using the app without creating accounts. Any accounts at all to try it out. The first thing I learn about this app on the landing page - is that it's going to be a business and what it's pricing plans are. This is before me being SOLD on the damn thing to begin with. So the order the app introduces itself is: 1. Pricing (it's a SAAS) 2. Asks to create an account. 3. The user here closes…

Especially now in the stages I should be giving them immediate free access. I’ll do that, thanks :)

> Your uploads are secure, never shared, and can be deleted anytime. How are you analyzing and marking up the notes? Assuming it is with a partner/third-party AI, isn't this sharing my data with (for example) OpenAI?

The information gets sent to openAI but they don’t save or learn anything from the upload. They make this claim.
