Should you build this?

YES, if

You can ship in 1-2 weeks on $0-20/mo infrastructure
No direct competitors yet — first-mover window open
Demand forecast +26% next 14 days (confidence 85%)

THINK TWICE

Only 2 mentions across platforms — evidence thin, validate before building
No paid evidence AND no competitors — could mean "no market" rather than "open market"

VALIDATE THIS WEEK

This weekend: DM 5 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 in 7 days: kill it · the demand isn't there at this price

I want to build a tool for: n8n users with file-drop-to-folder workflow mostly working but hitting edge cases (signal#1,2 duplicated)

The pain users describe: Help with a n8n workflow

Timing / why now: [no explicit trigger]

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)
