The internal-tool opportunity is broad, while the first app still feels undefined.
A concrete starting point protects builder confidence, while a narrow story risks missing the variety of jobs people want to solve.
Who you’d be doing this for
“A client asked for a simple intake tracker yesterday, and I still don’t know where to start.”

She advises small businesses that need custom workflows but cannot justify a software project.
What is at stake
Builders looking to replace spreadsheets are leaving before they start a project. You have to weigh a focused first-use-case motion against the broader range of apps they want to build.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- focused use case vs broad builder appeal
- project starts vs meaningful deployment
- fast campaign learning vs trustworthy measurement
- organic site structure vs dedicated entry path
