The Roast

"You've submitted a Next.js boilerplate README instead of an actual idea—which is somehow MORE honest than 90% of side hustle pitches. At least you're transparent about having nothing yet."

đź’€ Why This Fails

  • • No actual product described—just generic Next.js scaffolding that 50k devs already cloned today
  • • News aggregation is a graveyard (Feedly, Pocket, Google News all failed to monetize)
  • • Zero differentiation or angle—'MVP news app' won't generate revenue or users

If you're building a Next.js news tool, target a *specific obsession*: hyper-local real estate news alerts, biotech funding tracker, or crypto liquidation monitor—something with a paying audience willing to pay $10-50/mo. Build for *them*, not 'everyone.'
