IdeaRoast Analysis
Q:A serverless web application that helps musicians organize songs into albums, manage multiple versions, track lyrics, notes, and creative inspirations...
The Roast
"You've just described a feature, not a business. Building a personal tool that solves your own problem is great for a portfolio project—terrible for a side hustle. Unless you're planning to charge musicians $4.99/month to organize their Spotify playlists, you've got a hobby, not a hustle."

đź’€ Why This Fails
- • No monetization model—who pays and why? Bandcamp, Logic, and Notion already own this space
- • Zero go-to-market strategy—musicians won't discover a niche app with no marketing budget
- • Serverless != scalable business—technical execution doesn't equal product-market fit
âś… The Pivot
Pivot to B2B: Build a white-label album collaboration tool for indie labels/studios (charge $99-299/month per label). Or pivot to a community angle: Create a Discord bot + web app for music producers to share album drafts and get peer feedback (freemium with premium analytics). Your serverless backend is perfect for this—just add *network effects*.
