Build angle
Strengths
- Clear and relatable problem
- Feasible to build with current technology
- Potentially broad user base
Risks
- Uncertain willingness to pay
- Competitive space with many free photo apps
- May be seen as a niche or low-priority problem
Fly Labs Method
Is the pain real, is there a gap, is it the right time, can one person build it.

- Solution gap

- Willingness to pay

- Buildability
- 75
The problem is clear and common, but the solution space is somewhat crowded and willingness to pay may be moderate; the product is feasible for a solo builder.
Value Equation
Dream outcome and how likely it feels, against the time and effort it costs.
The idea addresses a real pain but lacks a strong monetization angle and clear differentiation from existing solutions.
One-Person Business
Curiosity pull, identity fit, and a path from free value to paid for a solo creator.
The market is broad but user motivation to pay for a tool to improve casual photo-taking is uncertain and competitive.
Viral Frameworks
Hook strength, shareability, and how cheaply it can be tested.
The problem is relatable and the solution can be built with current technology, but market demand and scalability are moderate.
Builder Lens
Evidence the problem exists, timing, defensibility, and a model that fits on a napkin.
The idea solves a minor but widespread annoyance, though it may not be urgent or valuable enough to drive strong user adoption or investment.

Every CEO and CFO change at US public companies, live from SEC
Built this solo. It watches SEC filings for executive and board changes, extracts the data, and shows it in real time. 2,100+ changes in the last 30 days. The comp data is interesting: average new CEO total comp is $8.4M across 284 appointments. The /explore page is fully open, no login needed.

µJS, a 5KB alternative to Htmx and Turbo with zero dependencies
I built µJS because I wanted AJAX navigation without the verbosity of HTMX or the overhead of Turbo.It intercepts links and form submissions, fetches pages via AJAX, and swaps fragments of the DOM. Single <script> tag, one call to `mu.init()`. No build step, no dependencies.Key features: patch mode (update multiple fragments in one request), SSE support, DOM morphing via idiomorph, View Transitions, prefetch on hover, polling, and full HTTP verb support on any element.At ~5KB gzipped, it's smaller than HTMX (16KB) and Turbo (25KB), and works with any backend: PHP, Python, Go, Ruby, whatever.Playground: https://mujs.org/playgroundComparison with HTMX and Turbo: https://mujs.org/comparisonAbout the project creation, why and when: https://mujs.org/aboutGitHub: https://github.com/Digicreon/muJSHappy to discuss the project.
