Q:A serverless API that lets users submit, vote on, and retrieve multiple-choice quiz questions, powered by AWS Lambda and DynamoDB with built-in AI-dri...
The Roast
"You've built a technically competent quiz API that solves a problem nobody asked for—it's like creating the world's most elegant mousetrap when people switched to electric ones. Unless you've got enterprise customers lined up, this is a solution looking desperately for a problem, wrapped in AWS bills."

đź’€ Why This Fails
- • Quizlet, Kahoot, and 47 other platforms already own this space with millions of users
- • No clear monetization path—who pays and how much?
- • Infrastructure costs (Lambda, DynamoDB) eat profits before you have customers
- • Kubernetes quiz niche is tiny; enterprise training budgets go to established vendors
âś… The Pivot
Flip this into a **B2B content API for software training platforms**—become the white-label backend for LMS tools, bootcamps, or certification bodies. Charge $500-2k/month for API access + custom question generation. Your Kubernetes questions become *template inventory* they license, not your entire moat.
