Should you build this?

YES, if

You can ship in 1-2 weeks on $0-20/mo infrastructure
Pain level is HIGH — users actively complaining, not casual interest

THINK TWICE

9 competitors already shipping — crowded, harder to differentiate

VALIDATE THIS WEEK

This weekend: DM users at r-WooCommerce (1 complaint) · r-ecommerce (1 complaint) · r-shopify (1 complaint) — ask if they'd pay $9/mo for a fix
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

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)
