The pain
The gap
Build angle
Strengths
- Clear, repeatable pain point with measurable time savings
- Low technical complexity (image processing is solved)
- Proven demand signal (Google Trends + creator complaints)
- Multiple monetization paths (freemium, B2B licensing to agencies)
- Defensible via UX/templates, not technology
Risks
- Crowded space: Canva, Pixlr, Photopea, Figma all do this partially
- Low switching costs = high churn if not delightful
- Requires ongoing template maintenance as platforms change specs
- Potential image processing costs eat margins at scale
- Niche TAM: creators are price-sensitive and fragmented
- Competitors (Canva) have brand moat and feature bloat advantage

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.
