What are you working on? Any new ideas which you're thinking about?

I’m working on a desktop app called With Audio https://desktop.with.audio a one time payment desktop app.

— it turns ebooks, articles, and documents into synchronized audio with real-time text highlighting. It’s great for people who prefer listening while reading (or want to stay focused), and it works fully offline with a one-time purchase — no subscriptions.

I’m bootstrapping it and trying to figure out how to market it effectively. So far, I’ve had some traction and early sales just by posting on Reddit, but I’m still learning the marketing side — especially how to reach people who’d benefit from it most.

Would love to hear how others approached early growth for similar bootstrapped tools.

Does it work with languages other than English?

Sadly not at the moment. I need some help to confirm other languages as I only understand English.

Same(-ish). :-)

I wouldn't need / want this for reading English, but it'd be killer for improving my Spanish vocab and speech-recognition. It's a great idea, and lots of people could get a lot of value out of it. Well done!
