Should you build this?

YES, if
  • You can ship in 1-2 weeks on $0-20/mo infrastructure
  • Only 1 weak rival shipping — room to differentiate
  • 1 signal of willingness to pay in the evidence pool
VALIDATE THIS WEEK
  1. This weekend: DM 5 of the reddit users who complained — ask if they'd pay $9/mo for a fix (no build yet)
  2. Next 7 days: ship a 2-page landing site with $9/mo waitlist + "request beta" form — count signups
  3. If <10 signups in 7 days: kill it · the demand isn't there at this price

Who is this for

YouTubers 10K-100K subs replacing VidIQ, need multi-channel analytics without overpaying for redundant tools

Why now

INSUFFICIENT TRIGGER DATA: No datable policy change, platform event, or quantified disruption is present in the signals — citing 'users asking about VidIQ alternatives' and 'someone with a creator database' does not constitute a timely mark

Timing / why now: INSUFFICIENT TRIGGER DATA: No datable policy change, platform event, or quantified disruption is present in the signals — citing 'users asking about VidIQ alternatives' and 'someone with a creator database' does not constitute a timely mark

Existing alternatives: none clearly identified yet — opportunity for a first-mover

Help me draft an MVP technical plan:
1. Core user flow (happy path, 3-5 steps)
2. Data model (main tables and their key fields)
3. Tech stack recommendation (favor fast-to-ship options)
4. First 3 things to build this weekend
5. What NOT to build in v1 (scope discipline)
