Finding artists for custom furry NSFW art: SKIP, 42/100 | Ideas Lab

A marketplace connecting commission seekers with furry NSFW artists to reduce search friction.

The pain

Commissioners spend significant time vetting artists across Discord, Twitter, and forums to find those matching their specific aesthetic and comfort level for adult content.

The gap

No centralized, curated platform exists specifically for this niche, forcing users to rely on fragmented communities and word-of-mouth.

Build angle

If pursuing: Build as a private, invite-only community platform with strong verification, portfolio curation, and escrow payments, positioning as a 'safe marketplace' rather than public directory.

Strengths

Clear, underserved niche with passionate community
Existing artist supply (many already taking commissions)
Recurring revenue potential (commission fees/subscriptions)
Low CAC within tight communities

Risks

Payment processor hostility (Stripe/PayPal restrict adult content)
Reputational risk and brand toxicity limiting growth
Regulatory uncertainty around adult content platforms
Small TAM (~$50-100M globally) with high churn
Artists already have established client bases; weak retention incentive
Content moderation complexity and legal liability
Difficult fundraising and partnership opportunities

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.
