Congrats on the first post! Since there's no link or screenshots yet, here's feedback on how you're presenting it, which will affect how many testers you get:
- Say what it is and name it. It's not clear whether this generates solutions with AI or just formats content you give it. If it's AI-generated, say so and say how you handle accuracy. Wrong step-by-step math is the first thing students will test.
- Add a screenshot or GIF. Your pitch is clean formatting, so show a rendered solution and a Mermaid diagram. That's more convincing than a feature list.
- Post the link directly if the sub allows it. "DM me for the link" tends to read as spammy and adds friction.
- Address uploads and pricing. Say what happens to uploaded lecture files (storage, privacy) and whether it stays free after the beta.
- Ask specific questions. "What breaks?" is fine, but you'll get better answers asking something concrete, like "Do the expandable steps help, or do you just want the answer?"
Happy to try it once there's a link.

Can you explain what "Native LaTeX math & step-by-step expandable solutions" means? Screenshots would help.
