Re:App Feedback on Wednesday December 17, 2025 @01:37AM (#46298912)
Hi all, I've been working on this collaborative text editor with a buddy for a few days now and we are having a difficult time getting in contact with writers. The primary differentiator is a simple UI for GIT-like functionality including branching, merging, diffs, and pull requests. We feel semi-confident that there is some industry that needs this functionality enough to pay for it but we aren't sure who exactly. Some people we have thought of so far include:

- screenwriters - lawyers - editors / writers - academics - students potentially - anyone who has important documents and cares about version history

We are struggling to figure out how to reach out to these people and subsequently interview them. We are looking for design partners who will guide the creation of the product and hopefully ultimately pay for it. Would love to hear your guys' thoughts on how to find and reach out to these people

Hey HN, I'm Taylor and today I'm launching Lexical, a language learning app that actually works by teaching the 5,000 most common words in the target language.Spaced repetition is how I've learned Spanish, French, and Italian in the last 3 years and I couldn't find tools that have the languages that I want to learn in the future, so I built Lexical.The link goes to my White-Paper describing the...
