DIY Video Discovery
What's your thoughts in using shorts to keep the heartbeat of my channel alive?
How we calculated this 56/100
Coverage confidence
We searched 4 of 3 places where competitors live — transparent about what we covered and what we missed.
Should you build this?
- You can ship in 1-2 weeks on $0-20/mo infrastructure
- 5 signals of willingness to pay in the evidence pool
- Demand cooling -26% next 14 days (confidence 77%) — momentum is fading
- 5 competitors already shipping — crowded, harder to differentiate
- This weekend: DM 5 of the reddit:diy users who complained — ask if they'd pay $9/mo for a fix (no build yet)
- Next 7 days: ship a 2-page landing site with $9/mo waitlist + "request beta" form — count signups
- If 10+ signups: build the smallest version that solves the top 1 pain — defer the rest
