Good start. It has a bug where the up down says NaN. I also personally hate those product tours, is there a way we can get on boarded without that?

I'd also look at willingness to pay in the analysis.

Seems to be a lot of overlap between ideas. I just ran a prompt:

"From GreasyFork scripts for YouTube.com - what are users most interested in seeing on Youtube, but requiring a script to run for that to happen?"

The I asked it about DoorDash - a business featured on Blink.

There's a lot of intel that can be gleaned from a business' website and what people are modifying on it with scripts. I just published two scripts myself so it's been my focus for the last couple of weeks.

Probably a good time to build a YT competitor and offer RSS feeds for channels as they've just been cancelled and also somehow incorporate crowdfunding through micropayments. Tangent suggestion.

Anyhow, I think the flow for a business is - fill a hole in the market - obtain users - build their trust and confidence - ask what their problems are - solve them - $$$

PG: "When you go talk to users, don't (just) ask them what features they want. Ask them what problems they have. In the best case this will lead you to think of features they'll love but would never have thought to ask for. And expect to go through multiple cycles of ask-and-build."

Anyway, IMHO the site seems quite wordy, would be great to see diagrams and the text visuals could have more contrast. Can create "optimal industry landscape maps"?

Would be interesting to have "I like this idea" and enable team-building right from the get-go.

Also, solving problems are only one dimension of a business case. It can also be "preventing the end of something good" and "improving quality of life." ~ Guy Kawasaki. Are both those problems to be solved?

How can you build up a database of reliable users?

Would be good to have people list prior employers and roles, and then send out email to companies and have them approve of that person's history there. Need to find real people and skills amongst the robots and scammers. Build up a public moderator log of users having their histories confirmed. https://greasyfork.org/en/moderator_actions If you say you've worked at IBM, someone should be able to confirm that from an @ibm.com email address.

Those moderator logs (see above) are crazy. So rare to see one like that in public. Must be a business in aggregating and automating them. Important, tedious, repetitive and relentless work.
