Build angle
Strengths
- Clear technical problem with a defined user base
- Relatively simple to build and maintain
- Improves developer productivity by preserving session state
Risks
- Niche market limits growth and monetization
- Partial solutions already exist reducing urgency
- Requires ongoing maintenance to keep up with tmux and OS changes

The problem of losing tmux sessions and agent states on reboot is clear, but the market gap and willingness to pay are moderate, while the product is technically feasible for a solo developer.
Value Equation
Dream outcome and how likely it feels, against the time and effort it costs.
The value to users is moderate since tmux users are niche and some workarounds exist, but the solution could save time and frustration for a specific audience.
One-Person Business
Curiosity pull, identity fit, and a path from free value to paid for a solo creator.
The idea addresses a real pain point for developers who rely on tmux, but the market size and monetization potential are limited.
Viral Frameworks
Hook strength, shareability, and how cheaply it can be tested.
The product fits a clear technical need with a straightforward solution, but scaling beyond power users and integrating with other tools may be challenging.
Builder Lens
Evidence the problem exists, timing, defensibility, and a model that fits on a napkin.
The idea targets a small but dedicated user base with a clear problem, though it lacks a broad market and strong monetization strategy.

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.
