I zone out in lectures constantly, so I built a tool that catches what I miss

I have dysgraphia and dyspraxia, and I zone out in lectures all the time. Handwriting is slow and tiring for me, and typing fast enough to keep up isn't much better. By the time I've got one point down, I've missed the next two. Then my focus drifts, and I come back to a page of half-finished sentences. I started building NoteMate while I was still a student, and I've carried on since graduating and becoming a software engineer. It records the lecture and turns it into a summary you can go back to later, at your own pace. So zoning out doesn't mean losing the content. How it started Funnily enough, I first built it for meeting notes. Retention was bad, I had one paying user, and most people went back to Otter. The people who stuck around were students. That clicked straight away, because I was one, and it was exactly what I needed in my own lectures. So I narrowed everything down to them. Where it is now - 400+ students using it - About 40 new signups a week - Won funding from the University of Sheffield! - Still just me What I'd love feedback on If you're neurodivergent, what makes study tools easy or hard for you to stick with? Does the landing page make sense in 5 seconds? Anything that feels off or untrustworthy? Happy to answer anything about the build!
