Really fun idea.

Feed a list of projects you launched so far into GPT-3 and get a tailormade suggestion of what you could launch next.

Joseph did it so far for 18 makers and since he's also sharing the prompts it's very easy to do it for yourself.
A few more ideas GPT-3 has for me:

· Omniscient AI - A startup that predicts the future.
· A monthly newsletter with the latest crypto news and projects.
· An investment intelligence platform for investors.

So turns out that Product Hunt shadow-banned my launch today.

They have a rule that "Lists / Directories" are not allowed but TIL this really just means products using Airtable are not allowed ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

More details below.
This is the response I initially got with a link to this post help.producthunt.com/en/articles/35…
But I then pointed out that there are still plenty of "Lists /Directories" that make it to the frontpage.

Even low-quality ones like this: producthunt.com/posts/the-ulti…

🤔 Three days ago I saw a discussion here on Twitter about alternative ways to uncover websites for sale.

💡 The next morning I had the idea that I can automate the process and turn it into a little product.

🚀 Today I'm launching it.

First of all, credit where credit is due.

This is the conversation that gave me the idea 👇

The idea is that just like in the physical world there are plenty of neglected properties online.

Many sites of course get listed on the usual marketplaces but at least just as many never end up there.

I'm not sure what's going on over at Indie Hackers but this doesn't look good to me. Image
I got curious and looked at the data after reading this recent discussion.

indiehackers.com/post/i-watch-h…
Three possible explanations:

· Fewer people are indie hacking.
· Fewer people are building in public.
· Fewer people are using Indie Hackers to build in public.

Since selling his app business for a life-changing sum, Daniel Sim has monitored the Shopify app acquisition industry like no one else.

Here's what I learned from him about what going on right now 👇
Getting from zero to one on a new app if you have no audience is hard.

You can skip that by buying an existing app (e.g. on MicroAcquire) if you can get the numbers to work. (That's a big if.)
The sub-$500k space for Shopify apps is seeing extremely high multiples.

That means if you're just buying these apps for a financial return it's going to take a long time and has a lot of risk.

Last week I got the chance to pick Daniel Sim's brain on the opportunities he's seeing related to Shopify apps.

What he shared is pure gold. 👇
The default advice that's shared over and over again is this:

"Search for merchant problems and build an app that solves them"

It's of course great if you can find something that way. But how exactly do you find merchant problems worth solving?
You could reach out and ask a few store owners what problems they're struggling with.

However, there are plenty of pitfalls and asking the right questions is an art in itself.

I've seen a lot of hype for Arvid Kahl's new book The Embedded Entrepreneur, so here's my non-hypey review.

Overall I'd rate it at a 6/10. Some thoughts below 👇

(Not trying to pick a fight or anything. Just thought that something that's not just pure hype might be helpful.)
The book's working title was Audience First and I'm the guy who wrote that "Build a business, not an audience" essay, so I was of course curious.

I think I'm exactly in the target audience since I've dedicated this year to learning how to bootstrap a sustainable business.
There are two types of non-fiction books:

- Books that were written because the author has something to say.
- Books that were written because the author wanted to write a book.

Lots of gray in-between the two but to me Arvid's book felt closer to the second category.
