I believe that founders who use their own products will always win. So, do you use your own product(s) on a daily basis?

In the comments, write your side project and how you use it on a regular basis.

Yes, I built this website to practice English: https://dailydictation.com

I’ve been using it almost daily since 2019, now it has around 150k monthly users :)

one of my sites made $17k last month and I don't use the product. I just knew what need it filled and found the opportunity.

if you have good research like ahrefs.com research or explodingideas.co research you don't necessarily need to use the product, you just need to understand the user and what the product seeks to fix.

my 2 cents tho.

It'd help many frustrated developers like me

Im curious where you get the audio from? You pay actors? Or you get it from the web?

This is really huge , your domain authority is really sttong , mind sharing what you have learnt so far from building this

Tbh, I don’t really care about SEO. I made it and paid a small amount of money for Google and Facebook ads, and I get a few hundreds/thousands people to use the website, when I see they share it to their friends, I know I have something people want :)

Digital business coach here:
Am i mistaken, or is there no way to switch to a British English voice?
The american accent is of no help when preparing for a stay in th UK.
Also I might have some ideas worth exploring...
