Should you build this?

YES, if

You can ship in 1-2 weeks on $0-20/mo infrastructure

THINK TWICE

Pain level is LOW — users may not pay to fix this

VALIDATE THIS WEEK

This weekend: DM users at pypi (4 complaints) — 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

I want to build a tool for: developers (6 mentions)

The pain users describe: [PyPI] clovord.py added to PyPI: Official Python library for the Clovord platform.

Timing / why now: [no explicit trigger]

Existing alternatives: alibabacloud-yike20260319, labbench-cli, libobsh

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)
