What best crowdfunding site for my PDF 2 HTML converter?


I'm developing a new PDF to responsive HTML converter that keeps text (of course!), but also images and math formulas.

What would be a good crowdfunding site where I could get feedback and supporters for my project?

I have an early prototype, but it'll take several months to reach a version I can ship.

I think you shouldn’t go in that ally. If you are looking for reward based crowdfunding campaign than you don’t really have anything to give. If you are looking to give equity it’s too early. Generally, software crowdfunding campaigns don’t do well on platforms like Kickstarter or indiegogo. I founded a crowdfunding platform and helped around 5000 campaigns.

It looks like it doesn't preserve bold face in the titles. Does it use the default

or

format?

Does it support accented characters like á, ñ, ¿?

Does it support weird encoding? IIRC if you compile a LaTeX file without OT1 the fonts don't use the ascii number, but a numeration that is off by one. [I got a few weird documents, when a reset at the wrong time confused my printer.]

Doesn’t Mozilla already have an open source JavaScript app that does this?
