Hi, thanks for sharing your experience. I think when proposing anything, it helps to be able to clearly express your idea in such a way that anyone including non-technical people like myself can understand and relate to. I think this aspect could be improved. Other things:
(1) I don't have a strong idea what pain point you are addressing. You mention features extensively, but could say more about the problem you are solving.
(2) You mention 50$/mo but no idea how many potential users/market size.
(3) The way you've described it, your idea seems more like a research project suited for a university than an actual product that can be sold to consumers. Need to make it easier for people without expertise in the area to understand what exactly your product is.
