MarketScope

Ran my own product idea through my own product for analysis and got an execution difficulty score of 70 against the global market. Main gaps are lack of mobile friendly apps, complex onboarding and lack of similar regional language tools. My app solves the first two.

@Jack8b4 Got first paying customer from Reddit, too. It is indeed great.

#4 on Unicorns’ fastest growing startups list 🚀 $0 ad spend. The real driver: constantly A/B testing distribution channels. Reddit ended up being the winner, joining the right communities and actually contributing first is key. Double down on what works and keep testing.

Update: Added key risks, target customers & business model to market analysis reports.

Launch directories have become pay to play ground. Hard to get top positions if you're not paying.

For validating an idea, you need market research. Then comes talking to potential customers and building MVPs. Either one is not enough. People may not pay after hearing your idea. They always don't know what they want, specially if your idea is not solving an immediate pain.

@VechAlex Longer onboarding let's users see the value and make them feel like the brand cares for them genuinely.

$300K/mo from a fasting app with a 68-step onboarding. SIXTY-EIGHT. Fastic's onboarding is longer than most people's attention span. and somehow it's working. Onboarding: • 68 steps. they collect EVERYTHING. triggers, habits, failures, schedules • side-by-side graphics comparing "traditional methods" vs their AI • progress graph with your EXACT projected goal-weight date • right before paywall, an "invite code" screen pops up. gives you a VIP discount Paywall: • 4-screen paywall sequence. soft but relentless. • 3 tiers. every price shown as weekly. $1.53/week sounds like nothing • try to close the paywall → roulette wheel pops up. you "win" 75% off FOREVER • still say no → permanent "YOUR REWARD" promo card on your dashboard • with a live countdown timer. on your home screen.

@HeyItzaMi @athcanft I've a suggestion. Try to focus on the questions candidate might face in the interviews. If you can do it by mixing up company style & their experience level, you might have an edge over others. I've not seen this feature in similar apps.

@MarketScope_HQ @athcanft definitely, but i wanted to give it a go i thought the branding was smart and would do some heavy lifting but until now i haven’t seen very good results

you will waste a lot of time on apps if you’re building: - “something new” - “the next todo list” - “something really helpful to me” these are not validated, or in demand build something in demand: - ai calorie trackers - looksmaxxing apps - height maxxing apps - rizz assistant - quit porn just scroll insta/tiktok and you’ll find apps advertising - these are the ones you should be looking at

@HeyItzaMi @athcanft This market is very crowded. Hard to differentiate.

@athcanft i actually messed up this doing try-waddle.com i knew it wasn’t validated but wanted to try it anyway

@MakerThrive Yes, point.

@MarketScope_HQ Fair but could be a nice added layer prior to an appointment so the provider has some insight before seeing a new client

$100K MRR idea: take a selfie. get back acne scores, dark circles, wrinkle zones, full skin health score. one API call. built the whole app in Lovable with zero backend code. here's what you build on top: gate the full report → subscription pair analysis with products → recommendation engine white label it → B2B for med spas and clinics embed it free → lead gen with actual utility the skincare market is $180B and personalization is eating it. 500 free API units to start → bit.ly/500-free-api

@J_DOTcode @0xSweep Yes !!! You've to forge receipts to get this going.

@0xSweep Do it actually worked? What about package and receipts

People are making $30,000 a month running ghost kitchens that never cook a single meal Doordash and Uber Eats let anyone list a restaurant on their app in under an hour The way it works is almost stupidly easy You pick a name like "Nashville Hot Chicken Co", scrape a menu off a real restaurant's website and mark every item up 40% There is no kitchen behind the listing When a $22 sandwich order comes in, you open Doordash on a second phone and order the same sandwich from a real restaurant three blocks away for $14 You change the delivery address to the customer's house and the driver picks up the real food from the real restaurant thinking your ghost kitchen made it You pocket $8 without touching a single piece of chicken Run 10 fake restaurants at once, each a different cuisine under a different name, and you're clearing $30,000 a month without owning anything Some scaled it further by renting a UPS mailbox as the address so the listing passed verification Others built networks of 30 or 40 fake brands all feeding off the same three real restaurants in a single zip code The customer never knows. They order a sandwich, get the sandwich and leave a 5 star review for a business that doesn't exist The real restaurant is cooking overtime for a competitor that exists only as a logo on an app The whole model runs on one simple fact. Nobody on either platform actually checks if the kitchen is real The craziest part is that most of it is technically legal You're allowed to resell food. You're allowed to mark up prices. You're allowed to list a business on a platform that doesn't verify addresses The only line you cross is the fake restaurant name and photos, which is misrepresentation, but no platform has ever pressed charges over it At worst your account gets banned and you open a new one the next morning under a different LLC

First sale ! 🎉 But it came with fixing and learning. I sincerely thank @thepatwalls for inspiring me and @Replit for making this possible.

@hridoyreh Hard to trust because Apple did not notice it till now ? Seems like the competitor cleaned their market by destroying it.

Cal AI has been removed from App Store. Here's the full story: ➟ Cal AI used to make $50M ARR ➟ Sold to MyFitnessPal for $100M ➟ Used a fake Apple-style checkout ➟ Sold subscriptions through Stripe ➟ Skipped Apple’s 15-30% cut ➟ Generated more revenue ➟ A guy exposed it ➟ Apple notices the matter ➟ Removed Cal AI from App Store Absolutely, horrible…

@Amank1412 Cool. If it could catch wrong code like this, it would be great also.

Someone built a transparent Mario game that runs OVER IDE so can play while waiting for Copilot to write code.

@victormustar It will be actually helpful if AI can produce music to uplift mental state based on the user mood.

Open source AI music is actually good now 🔥 Made a free demo for ACE-Step 1.5: describe any song, get it back in seconds ⤵️

@anulagarwal After checking the comments on the original post, I doubt anyone should try. There are many other problems.

Here is a billion dollar app idea: vibe-code a lighter, cheaper version of Slack that replaces it completely for enterprise customers. Slack generated $1.7 billion in 2023 with 10 million customers - but customers only have 1 problem that it is too pricey. You can easily build a replacement for it by vibe-coding in 2026. The models are too good.

@e_ssshadow @asaio87 Fair point. In fact, my tool is vibe coded and when I ran an analysis for my own idea, I got the insight that most of the existing apps are not mobile friendly. I guess I did the right thing unknowingly.

This says more about consumer preference than it does about what you can and can't get with vibecoding. Could the same thing have been done with google sheets? idk, I didn't saw what you saw. But who tf wants to use google sheets on their phone? Novelty is underappreciated, and I think its cool that people can opt into things they enjoy using, and can spend their own time / money to build however they like

I met a vibecoder today on Reddit I talked to him for a bit. He is a nurse in a public hospital He was bragging that he vibecoded an app for personal use It turns out he actually did a great job. The app really works and shows that vibecoding is possible. Still the app was easily replicated with Google Sheets or excel. He didn't even need to vibecode an app, pay Vercel for the hosting or have a Supabase for the DB. This is the state of vibecoding This is what you can do if you are not a dev Redundant functionality I guess its ok...ish...

@tech_nurgaliyev @chatbase @yasser_elsaid_ Reddit users actually read long posts and give good thoughts when the content is good. It's best for thoughtful products.

Here's how to rank on Google & ChatGPT using Reddit (based on @chatbase by @yasser_elsaid_) → Find buyer-intent keywords → Turn them into Reddit questions → Create real discussions (not marketing) → Mention your product organically → Let Google + AI do the distribution This is the new SEO.
