December 16, 2025 Built a research tool for students — looking for 10 beta testers

Hey IH 👋

I'm a solo dev who spent months watching students drown in 47 browser tabs while researching papers. So I built FocusFind.

What it does:

  • Search across web, academic sources, or both in one place

  • Auto-scores source credibility (so you're not citing random blogs)

  • Save & organize with tags and notes

  • Export citations in APA, MLA, Chicago, etc. with one click

  • Integrates with Zotero

Stack: Next.js, Clerk, Stripe, Vercel

Where I'm at:

  • Product is live and working

  • Pro plan at $9/mo (or $99/year)

  • Zero users 😅

What I need: 10 people willing to try it for their actual research and tell me what's broken or missing. I'm happy to offer free Pro access to testers.

I would love honest feedback — what's confusing, what's missing, and what would make you actually use this?

Thanks!

About

As a researcher, I got frustrated sifting through unreliable sources. Google returns millions of results but no way to know which ones are credible. I built FocusFind to solve that — it automatically scores source cred
