Should you build this?

YES, if

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

THINK TWICE

4 competitors already shipping — crowded, harder to differentiate

VALIDATE THIS WEEK

This weekend: DM 5 users who complained — ask if they'd pay $9/mo for a fix (no build yet)
Next 7 days: ship a 2-page landing site with $9/mo waitlist + "request beta" form — count signups
If <10 signups in 7 days: kill it · the demand isn't there at this price
