The pitch sounds like those scammy websites who sell you 1 million website visitors for $10.

When you build a product, you need to think about how you are going to give value to its users. When you do that, you will get users.

Having the tags clickable would be a nice feature, to allow users to list all apps with that tag.

I think the over the fold area is very clear, except the "Tired of endless software subscriptions?" thing looks way too much like a button.

Searching doesn't start if I enter a search term and press Enter key. In fact, the entire search feature seems broken. If I enter a search term and try to search for something, the search input field just gets emptied and nothing else happens. This is completely broken.

I don't like how the email subscription thing is the first thing visible on the main app listing page (e.g. https://payonceapps.com/explore/platform-windows). It's very annoying and obtrusive. Also, the website has literally no privacy policy information, collecting emails from people like this is not user friendly, and could even be illegal depending where you are based at.

Since price is one of your main selling points here, I would prefer to see the price information at the main app listing UI instead of having to click to open the app's individual page.

It's very confusing why the tag boxes on the left show the mouse handpoint cursor to indicate that they are clickable, but on the main app listing UI the exactly same looking tag boxes don't do that. And when I click them, there is a substantial delay when nothing is happening, making me think the website is glitching again (just like how the search is not working at all).

Overall, I really like this idea, and I hope you could fix the mentioned issues and this would be very nice!

Implying that one time payment is not sustainable, let alone encouraging ads or data collection is nonsensical.

You said you launched Pixeloons at https://pixeloons.com/, yet, when I click the link, I get redirected to "Ai scout" at https://aiscout.net/.

This is very confusing.

For generative text to image, I would use a website (web app), for any kind of serious image editing, native Windows or Linux app.

There has literally never been a situation in my life when I thought, "I really want to open WhatsApp to create a stunning photo".

I don't understand why I would want to use WhatsApp to create photos, though.

Why is there a blurry video on the background of the over the fold area? It contributes nothing, except confusion.

It's also confusing why it is asking for my email address. What is this? An email subscription form? That's what it looks like. What will you do with the email addresses you collect? No idea. But I'm already getting a bad first impression of this product.

The video under the "get started" button also makes no sense. It has a bunch of cards with random words quickly moving around. If this is supposed to explain your product, it doesn't. It's just very confusing.

Same with the "There's a better way" video. Why is everything so quick and why is there no video controls so I can at least try to watch it from the beginning?

I would rather see one proper video about how this product works, preferably with audio explaining how to use it, than these cocaine-speed non controllable mute videos on the front page.

I have a feeling this is a great product but right now, the landing page is doing a very poor job showing how this exactly works.

Few months ago it was people selling monkey jpegs, now it's the low effort generative AI apps. Nonsense comes and goes, quality products always remain in fashion. Focus on building your own thing and focus on quality.

The over the fold area looks visually messy. There are too many fonts, colors and concepts going on in here. Some of the color choices make texts difficult to read, such as the blue font over blue background on "sadness".

Having hair growing on a brain might sound as a good concept in design phase, but the longer I look at these brain characters, the weirder they look. Almost morbid.

The way the logo is displayed at top left corner is awkward, with parts of the logo cropped out. I'm not a fan of the logo itself, either. It's like the overall look of the website: messy and overly complicated.

It's weird why the Contact link the the header navigation menu doesn't use the handpoint mouse cursor, but Privacy link next to it does.

Many things on the website are indicating that not a lot of care has been invested into polishing this. For example, some sentences start with a non capitalized letter like under Entertainment Space, the sentence start as "a space for you to fill..."

Similarly, you are using a different apostrophe character at different parts of the website. Sometimes it's the ' character such as in "You'll also be able" and sometimes it's the ’ character such as in "studies your mind’s weaknesses".

The video on "development space" looks like someone took way too much LSD. I have literally no idea what is going on here.

My overall impression is that this is overly complicated and just weird.

Considering your traffic is built around a very specific task (file conversion), and it is inherently people who want something for free, I would approach this by contacting some of the biggest companies of the niche who make similar products and ask whether they would be interested in some kind of cooperation.

For example, every time someone converts a file, you thank them and then show them a link that in case they need to also edit the file a bit, they can use this product.

I could imagine developers of such product would be very keen on having their product recommended this way.

The world needs many things. Yet another AI summarize app is not one of them. If you want to have 1000 people in your waiting list, your product should have some unique selling point. Right now, it's just one of many and it's as interesting as watching paint dry.
