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
  • 5 signals of willingness to pay in the evidence pool
THINK TWICE
  • Only 1 mention across platforms — evidence thin, validate before building
VALIDATE THIS WEEK
  1. This weekend: DM users at discourse (2 complaints · top ↑1) — ask if they'd pay $9/mo for a fix
  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
