Show HN: Unscribbler – Simple Handwriting Reader This is a handwriting-to-text converter! Just follow the instructions on the page and you're good to go :) Background: I've been tutoring on the side for a while and it's apparent that the whole process can be smoothed out, with the end goal being an AI tutor buddy with a stylus interface.

Let me know if anyone has any ideas, suggestions, and/or tips! https://ift.tt/rgRnx7F March 22, 2023 at 11:21PM

I would be really grateful for advice from this community on how to best approach marketing. We had a great TechCrunch article covering our launch [3], and we posted it on various music websites. Turns out advertising on Google or Apple Search is a dark art, though. We have some good ideas for developing a good social media presence, but they will take time. Please hit us with feedback, opinions and advice that you think a young ind...
