CertificateOwl day1 - product and market ressearch

Free
In this series I will try to build a SaaS that will let organizations (universities, schools, test centers, event organizers) easily bulk-generate PDF certificates and email them to recepients.
Before writing any code, one must first do some reasearch.

Build a PDF generator (CertificateOwl)
I've always dreamt of building an app, where a user can:
1. Select a certificate template (certificate of completion/award/graduation/etc.)
2. Upload a CSV file with a list of awardees;emails;award_details
3. Auto-generate PDF certificates and send people emails
4. Page to validate certificate by QR on ID
I will start with researching the competition and building a proof-of-concept app.
Let's see where it takes me!
