The pain
The gap
Build angle
Strengths
- Clear and common pain point among digital artists
- Large and growing market of creative professionals and hobbyists
- Feasible to build a better app with focused improvements
Risks
- Strong competition from established apps with loyal user bases
- Technical complexity in developing reliable brush engines
- Uncertainty about users' willingness to switch or pay for a new app
Fly Labs Method
Is the pain real, is there a gap, is it the right time, can one person build it.
- Problem clarity
- 85
- Solution gap
- 70
- Willingness to pay
- 65
- Buildability
- 75
The problem is clearly defined and affects many users, there is room for a better solution, some users would pay for improvements, and the app is feasible to build by a small team.
Value Equation
Dream outcome and how likely it feels, against the time and effort it costs.
The idea addresses a real pain point with a clear target market, but monetization and differentiation need more clarity.
One-Person Business
Curiosity pull, identity fit, and a path from free value to paid for a solo creator.
The problem is relevant and the market is sizable, but competitive pressure and user loyalty to existing apps may limit growth.
Viral Frameworks
Hook strength, shareability, and how cheaply it can be tested.
The concept is viable with a clear user need, though technical challenges and user acquisition could be obstacles.
Builder Lens
Evidence the problem exists, timing, defensibility, and a model that fits on a napkin.
The idea targets a specific, painful problem in a large creative market, but execution and monetization plans require refinement.

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.
