Original Summary

Quick background: I watched an absurd amount of anime and learned basically nothing. Words would make sense in the moment and be gone by the next episode. So I built a small tool where you click a word in the subtitles and it saves it together with the scene you saw it in. Later you review the scene, not a flashcard. It's a hobby thing. No users, no plans to monetize, I mostly built it because I wanted it to exist. But now that it works, I've hit a question I didn't expect to find interesting: this kind of product is only good after you've used it for a while. Empty library on day one, nice personal dictionary after a month. And I have no idea how you get someone from A to B when B is the only part worth showing. I've thought about a few things: pre-load some words from whatever show they open first, so it's not a blank page make the save action itself satisfying (clip plays back instantly, that kind of thing) or just accept that day one is meh and not fight it I haven't tested any of this because, again, no users. So this is more curiosity than a growth problem. If you've built or used something with this "gets better the more you put in" shape (notes apps, habit trackers, anything with a personal library), what actually got you over the empty-state hump? Was it something the product did, or did you just push through because you wanted the result?   submitted by   /u/Common-Detective-496 [link]   [comments]
