In their words

Pain, in numbers

Quantified only where a builder stated a real figure — no LLM estimates.

15-20 minutes“even for a quick 2 minute demo I #39;m sitting there waiting 15-20 minutes for it to export”

1 demo video per month“I started tracking it and realized I was making maybe 1 demo video per month because I dreaded the whole workflow so much”

Hard requirements

Non-negotiables stated by builders in their own words. Miss one and they will not switch.

What the numbers suggest

27 rivals shipping (fact bar) see prices → market is crowded; differentiate on the unmet requirements above, don't compete on breadth.
4 requests from 4 different people (fact bar) see posts → demand is independently reported, not one person repeating themselves.
4 new tracked posts (all types) in the last 30 days vs 9 the month before see the curve → demand is cooling.
4 demand signals vs 27 shipping rivals → supply already outweighs demand — enter only with an edge.
0 willingness-to-pay quotes yetno one has named a price — validate pricing before building.
