Should you build this?

YES, if
  • You can ship in 1-2 weeks on $0-20/mo infrastructure
THINK TWICE
  • 6 competitors already shipping — crowded, harder to differentiate
VALIDATE THIS WEEK
  1. This weekend: DM users at reddit:socialmedia (2 complaints · top ↑9) · reddit:socialmediamarketing (1 complaint · top ↑7) — 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

4. First 3 things to build this weekend
5. What NOT to build in v1 (scope discipline)
