Thank you, yea I was hesitant about the voiceover too but figured it’s good enough to launch.

As for the scrambled text, that’s the contents that will be unscrambled the moment one purchases the product. I should make it clearer for sure.

Yeah, Pandoc is great and there’s lots of lower level tools but I figure simplicity has its own value, especially if it’s in the browser.

Thanks for the feedback!

Can't someone unscramble it and get all the contents for free...? Since it very much seems like the real contents and not placeholders

edit: yeah someone totally can...

"Est up ilam afirowdngr" - Set up mail forwarding

"otscs $-1020 epr nhmto" - costs $10-20 per month

"Epno a S..U Bkan Uactocn" - Open a U.S. Bank Account

"Lpapy fro a Esecudr Dteicr Card" - Apply for a Secured Credit Card

"0$30 is ngheuo" - $300 is enough

Yeah short sentences can be but I mean, who wants to? GPT cannot do it from what I’ve tried.
Probably anyone willing to spend some time to save some money. They could also sell the tool for less than any of the books and make money while saving their customers the full price of the book. https://octagon-simon.github.io/projects/unscrambler/ Here's a word unscrambler that was made with a tutorial on what they did, so from there someone else only needs to consume the jumbled words, unscramble each one, and if there are multiple options for a word it can be in a select list or something so the user can choose the correct word. It's a novel trick, but isn't going to help for long.
Nice. Well, I hope it becomes a problem as that would mean I have that kind of demand.
