Congrats on building this into a working app!

But as far as I can tell, this is simply a workflow that e.g. ChatGPT and Claude have supported for quite a while now. (It's what I do with my whiteboard diagrams)

Which means you'll probably need to think of a value add to help it gain traction. I'm curious to see where you'll be taking it!

The people willing to pay 20$ to learn to use ChatGPT/Claude to accomplish this probably doesn't have much overlap with the people willing to pay x$ to have a clean web interface to do just this one task.

IDK - the "help me get stuff done" crowd seems to use LLMs fairly frequently. If I'm wrong and they're disjoint markets, more power to tompreneur. But even then, it means his moat is very thin.

(It might have been a different proposition when doing this took major prompting gyrations, but multimodal LLMs have gotten pretty amazing in the last few months)

Of course, if it's just a hobby project, it doesn't matter. But if this is in search of traction, it very much does.
