This is a pretty good idea, great that you built it! Notarizing stuff was one of the many annoying and stupid things I had to do (among many, many such things) during my time in law. This wouldn't have solved the problem, unfortunately.

Several suggestions:

- It's expensive, I'd rather go to the UPS store if I had to get this done lol

- I think front-end needs a lot more work; standard for MVP is a lot higher now, IMO, and this is not a site I would want to use to book something important. I'm not good at design and HTML/CSS either. Check out AI tooling to generate front-ends (or just "manually" use GPT-4 to help you)

- This is like AirBnB, not Uber. And that matters; do users need to know who the notary is and choose among the options? My guess is that anyone who would pay $100+ for on-demand notarization is in situation where they just need notarization NOW, and need an Uber situation; it's more important that it be fast and reliable than who exactly the notary is.

Great feedback. I literally just had this conversation today with a colleague. We got this out to get exactly these kinds of responses. V2.0 will be a lot slicker :)
