    Congrats on shipping! Always respect founders who get to launch instead of overthinking

      Thanks a lot! Getting it out there felt better than chasing perfect — now I get to learn from real feedback

    Great idea - I find copy pasting stuff on my android an absolute ball ache!

    1. 1

      Haha I know that pain all too well — that’s exactly why I built PDF Snippets. No more endless copy-paste struggles on Android!

    Super neat idea. Copying text from PDFs on mobile is way more painful than most people admit.

    Love how Pdf Snippets removes the app-hopping and keeps everything organized.

    Curious if you’re planning any integrations (like Notion or Obsidian) so snippets can flow straight into a knowledge base?

    1. 1

      Thank you! Exactly — I wanted to cut out the app-hopping and make PDF text handling smooth. Notion/Obsidian integrations are definitely on the roadmap, since a lot of users want snippets to flow right into their knowledge base.

    Really like the wedge behind PDF Snippets, turn dense PDFs into clean, shareable bites people can actually reference. That solves the “I know it’s in there somewhere…” problem without forcing a full read.

    Two tiny ideas that could compound:

    • Auto-citation + permalinks (author/year/page with a link that jumps to the exact spot/coords).

    • One-click exports to Notion/Obsidian + smart collections (group snippets by topic/paper).

    Curious: what single moment best predicts a paying user; first snippet exported, a first “collection” created, or connecting an integration?

    P.S. I’m with Buzz; we build conversion-focused Webflow sites and pragmatic SEO for product launches. Happy to share a quick GTM checklist if useful.

      Appreciate this! Love the auto-citation and Notion export ideas — definitely on the roadmap. I agree, first export feels like the key unlock. Would be great to see that GTM checklist 🙌

    This solves a very real pain point. PDF workflows on mobile are clunky. Love the “auto-save snippets” idea, feels like a big boost for productivity.

    This actually solves a pain point I’ve had for years. Copying from PDFs on mobile has always been a nightmare.

    1. 1

      I’m really glad to hear that! That exact pain point is what inspired me to build PDF Snippets. I wanted to make copying from PDFs on mobile simple and frustration-free. Excited that it’s helping you — feedback like this keeps me motivated to keep improving the app!

        Makes sense now why it feels so smooth to use. Appreciate you making it actually mobile-friendly!

        1. 1

          Thank you.

    Smart solve! PDF text extraction on mobile is genuinely painful.

    From a builder perspective - this could be huge for students, researchers, and consultants. Have you thought about adding OCR for image-based PDFs? That's where most mobile PDF tools fail.

    Also, this seems like it could easily expand into other document types (Word, web articles, etc.). The core workflow you've built is the valuable part.

    Would love to try it out. Is there a beta or early access?

    1. 1

      Thank you, that means a lot! You’re spot on — students, researchers, and consultants were exactly the groups I had in mind while building PDF Snippets. OCR for scanned/image PDFs is definitely on my roadmap, since that’s where most tools stumble. Expanding to Word and web articles is also something I’d love to explore once the PDF experience feels perfect.

    Nice work with PDF Snippets — seems super useful for folks who work a lot with documents. I like how clean the UI looks in the screenshots.

    One suggestion: maybe including a preview mode so users can see a snippet before saving/exporting could be helpful. Also, if performance remains smooth with large files, you’ll really have something special.

    Excited to see what you add n

      Hi Steven,

      Thanks a lot for the kind words about PDF Snippets! Really glad you liked the clean UI. Your idea about a preview mode makes perfect sense — I’ll definitely look into adding that. And yes, I’m working to keep performance smooth even with large files.

      Appreciate your encouragement, it really motivates me to keep building!
