I think this looks like a great tool. But I think the HN community is way to broad to be your target market. I would start by brainstorming who out there is losing money from people using their product outside of their intended use.
Then you need to contact them one on one and talk to them about the problem. Is it really that big of a deal, why haven't they solved it themselves already, would they be interested in your product? Why or why not? If yes, who else in the industry could they connect you with?
What immediately came to mind for me was design templates. You are supposed to buy one for $20 and only use it for one site. I will say I have bought those templates for clients, but on small personal projects, I will just load their demo page and save it to my computer and voila. I have their design template. And I'm sure I've used one more than once after it enters my template library. Plus, those designers probably don't have a way to protect themselves. So in this case, I would go to themeforest or something similar. Look up 50 or so designers. Message them and see if you can get a phone call or if they would be willing to talk over email. Figure out what it's worth to them and go from there.
- tyingq 8y agoGood observation. Paid plugins for cart software like Magento, OpenCart, and Prestashop might be good candidates as well. Well, at least the ones with a UI. Similar for Wordpress plugins.
