I did not spend much time doing market analysis or any of that jazz. Mostly because I was interested in the journey of building the product. Shocker, there's a bunch of other people/companies doing similar things. Of course, mine is already waaaaaaay better! And different in tiny, hard to understand, but essental ways! Ahem.
I don't know if it can make much money. I don't care really if it does. I personally have been using it and, of course, love it for my style of learning Japanese. It could be interesting, to spend another month, exploring how AI and the latest tools have changed the marketing and customer aquisition process.
Anyways, I'd really appreciate your feedback. On the product, on the idea, on the journey. There's been a few stories here lately about how hard it is to do start ups. Going through the process with this one really brought back some memories, equal parts joyful and painful. Since it only took me two months and I don't really need the money, it's been a lot easier to just enjoy the process without stressing too much. But man, it's easy to get stressed too when you see how many obstacles there seems to be to have even a modest success. It's so hard to stay motivated. I'm pretty sure going forward I just want to make things for the joy of it.
