$2200 Monthly Revenue From Solving His Own Problem

📝 Umit Kar posts on Reddit…

• I turned a personal frustration into a growing product with 260+ users and $2.2k Revenue

The frustration was something Umit and his wife experienced at work…

We were constantly struggling with managing handwritten notes and scanned documents efficiently. There was no tool that fully met our needs… I thought, “Why not try to build something myself?”

The resulting app 👉 UScan AI: Text Capture & OCR (also on iOS)

Top 3 lessons learned for Umit…

1) Start with your own problem. If it’s a real pain point for you, chances are it’s a pain point for others too.

2) Consistency beats perfection. I made so many mistakes along the way, but showing up every day, even when I felt stuck, made all the difference.

3) Listen to your users. The product started improving only when I began taking their feedback seriously.
