Yes you heard it, i'm making an app called "Offly". it lets you download videos from most platforms, transcribe them, and turn the transcription into a clean professional PDF you can share with friends, colleagues, students, whoever. What pushed me to make it? i kept seeing tools like this charging $10/month for something that really shouldn't cost that much. so i said why not build my own, but with a one-time $10 payment instead. people on X liked the idea, i started coding. so far? lot of bugs. but i'm getting through, the core feature is done, working on the rest now. PDF Generator is next. if you want to try it when it's ready, i set up a small waitlist : [Link to waitlist](https://tally.so/r/RGReaP). no spam, just a ping when it launches. and before i go, if you're thinking about building something, make sure people actually want it first. seriously.
