Q:A serverless music organization platform that lets artists create albums, manage song versions, and track lyrics, notes, and creative inspirations all...
The Roast
"You've built a solution to a problem nobody has—congratulations, you've created a personal tool, not a business. Even Spotify's album feature exists, and they have $13B in revenue; your serverless AWS setup will cost more than your first year's earnings."

💀 Why This Fails
- • No market: Musicians already use Bandcamp, Logic Pro, GarageBand, or Notion—none of which need your app
- • Zero moat: Building this took you weeks; a competitor takes them days
- • You've monetized nothing: B2C SaaS for niche musicians = $0 ARR while AWS bills stack
✅ The Pivot
Pivot to B2B: Build 'Album Metadata Management for Independent Labels' (bulk upload, distribution prep, rights tracking). Target small indie labels, producers, and aggregators (DistroKid partners). Charge per release or monthly recurring. Your AWS backend becomes an asset, not a cost sink.
