Thinking about giving up on my speech accessibility project (https://BeUnderstoodApp.com) because once again I built the MVP but gaining customers is so draining and difficult for me that I consider moving away and focus on contributing to some major open source project instead

This is the best thing I discovered in this thread! Please do not give up on this. The idea closely reminded me of Ello (https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/ello), which was started with custom speech-to-text models trained to understand kids. You're doing a similar thing but for an even more underserved niche. This thing could be life-changing if you manage to navigate marketing in the niche.

Thanks Pavel! For now I have no more power to go through the marketing. I am open for a collaboration with anyone who can help with that
