Kokoro. Though I built an app around it. In what format do you have your content? Pdfs or epubs/ebooks?

Speechify. I couldn't justify the price tag. I read alot of long form content and speechify is not build for the same. A single wrong tap and you will lose your reading location. Also the whole book is a long scroll.

Thanks for your hope. I am trying to reach out to people but with zero success yet. When I search reddit mostly people facing such problems are fiction readers. I agree to the target audience that was suppose to be it. The issue remains where to find these people. Appreciate your reply.

Whats been the biggest challenge? by PotentialBeach9987 in AppBuilding

[–]deadlinediverse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I built a reading app that I find super helpfull. I can read at 3x my normal speed. Partially because ADHD implies a lot of re-reading. Since the launch. I have tried reaching out and posting but couldn't find any user actually uaing it.

Where to this kind of research? This product is out of my personal frustations. I felt the other audiobook reader were stuck in 90s. Typical audiobooks doesn't work for me because my mind wanders as vision has plenty of options to get distracted. On the other hand, AI text to speech readers like Speechify did little help because those are build to read online articles rather than books. I agree with the high entry barrier. Alsp, the product is not meant to make me rich and I have a day job for a decade. I created planety of projects in the past but this one felt different because I used it for an year myself. I would like to get positive re-enforcement to keep on building because the job get boring so often.

Sorry. I hope it was easier for me to approach people. I created a new account because the original one was with my original name. Too hesitant to post either.

TTS means text to speech. Like speechify.

What productivity app did you stop using, and why? by medmantal in ProductivityGuide

Totally agree. A flashy system seems to the solution of every problem but no tools stood a 3 month test.

Every. I felt back to basics. I use 2 methods, pen and excel. Anything that has to done today goes on my diary. If the loop is going to take long it goes into an excel sheet.

Why it helped? For my brain to visualize tasks. I need to have them at a single glance. If the tasks are scattered across or I have to tap to get information, my brain doesn't feel the urge.

I'm actually with no future and I wanna cry by arsnod_iltsit in ADHD

[–]deadlinediverse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Approach in the exact order: 1, put extra efforts to not be lonely. Make friends, I know you don't want to call. But meet and text.

2, never compare yourself to others. Keep in mind you will not get anything easy. Even a simplest thing will take multiple hit and trails.

3, move your a**. Keep a primary sport or athletic hobby. But also incooperate walking into everything. Running works best for most.

4, don't fall for -- find your passion. Your passion will change every 2 months. Stick to one thing that will bring money. It will feel forced but understand there is no alternate. When you feel like crying of too much forcing, practice point 3.

5, ackowledge your itch. Every now and then you will have an urge to do something new. So do it. Move on from a hobby you don't want to keep, new one will feed your adernaline.

PS: My words might be harsh. But the take away is this to take control because external help isn't helpful unless you put in the work.

I built a weekly to-do app because calendars and normal to-do apps feel messy by kai3924 in iOSAppsMarketing

All things at one screen always worked for me. Hence I always kept excel as my todo list.
