    Hi HN,

    I built PitchMode because I'm a developer who struggled to pitch my own projects without drowning investors in technical details.

    Record a 60-second pitch in your browser, get AI feedback in under 10 seconds. It analyzes clarity, pacing, filler words, and whether your hook would actually make an investor lean in.

    PitchMode works in the browser: 1. Record your pitch (up to 60 seconds) 2. AI analyzes: filler words, pacing (words per minute), clarity, confidence level 3. Get a detailed report with specific suggestions

    Would love feedback on the analysis accuracy and what other metrics would be useful. What would make this actually valuable enough to use before a real pitch?

    I really like this direction - I think it certainly clicks with your audience and solves a real problem.

    One thing: my immediate gut reaction was "will they steal my idea?" On reflection, I think that's actually a super common concern among your target users. Early-stage founders are often paranoid about idea theft - even if it's usually irrational (execution >> ideas), the anxiety is real. This could be a conversion killer if not addressed.

    Might be worth adding something visible about data privacy/handling right on the landing page.

      Good point, you're absolutely right there is this barrier, even if rationally ideas are rarely stolen. I hadn't thought about it from that angle. Will add a clear privacy note on the landing page. Thanks for flagging this!
