Software dev building @lemonpodai, a TTS-powered SaaS

[Marc Finger @marcfingerdev]

I think a lot of AI products die because the demo is more exciting than the daily use case.

That’s exactly what I’m trying to fix with Lemonpod’s pivot.

[Marc Finger @marcfingerdev]

Hard truth: getting signups is not the same as building something people’ll pay for.

Lemonpod got trials, but the positioning was too broad.
Now I’m testing a narrower version for founders before rebuilding the core features.

If you run a startup, what 3 updates would you want in a daily audio brief?

I am putting https://t.co/9W5NuB96zS into waitlist mode while I work on a pivot.

The Product Hunt launch was a big success and brought in a lot of great initial interest. Since then, I have been talking to users and digging into their feedback to see what is working. The honest truth is that the product is fun to listen to, but it is not yet essential.

To actually justify a paid subscription, this app needs to be highly productive and helpful. It needs to solve a real problem in your workflow, rather than just being an entertaining novelty.

Instead of trying to force this version to work, I am stepping back to rebuild around a much sharper, time-saving focus using both quick text summaries and audio briefs.

If you are interested in trying the new version when it is ready, you can join the waitlist here: https://t.co/9W5NuB96zS

@samtayyari @ilyamiskov I’ve been thinking this for a while. You might just convince me. My 16 inch MacBook Pro is great but its just a bit too heavy.

@satyaa why is everything modern so sterile and boring?

[Marc Finger @marcfingerdev]

After absolutely grilling Claude for hours I start feeling bad so I gotta let him know I appreciate him.

@lucasarruda @thekitze Yeah those are some valid points

Apple has been quite generous with the specs at these prices recently

[Marc Finger @marcfingerdev]

@hopperboy23 @thekitze Yeah it's the only option

[Marc Finger @marcfingerdev]

@MKBHD Seems like the only ram option is 8gb? It would have been pretty interesting if there was a 12gb model...
