I Built A Very Boring 'SaaS'

Wanted to just deploy something and buy a domain to get some dopamine in me before taking on the two behemoth products I actually want to build. Didn't take long browsing on r/SaaS to find out that boring products can sometimes win big. In fact there is a whole site dedicated to sites like this (https://boringcashcow.com). I decided to build the most boring thing I could think of ... a calculator.

Just kidding, for now at least. I made an online OCR tool, it converts an image to text (https://www.imagetotext.click/). Who may find this helpful? Journalists maybe,to extract quotes or information from printed newspapers, photos of interview notes, or screenshots. Writers/content creators, to repurpose text from physical documents, images, or screenshots into digital content. My next boring endeavour may be a directory of new products that aren't AI heavy. If interested, let me know.
