I think it'd be a hard sell to smaller teams, but _maybe_ to organisations that are a bit older or larger and have accumulated a lot of internal cruft. I definitely think it would have been valuable at some of my previous workplaces: at one we had an event log with 12+ different types of transactions and no one in the office could tell me what all 12 meant. I found this out because I was tasked with telling a 3rd party what they meant =/ On a different note - have you consisdered doing some content marketing by making a public jargonaut for common development terms? My little brother is learning to code and he just asked me what the difference between .NET and C# was. I think learning programming is like this x10000 times. I've been daydreaming about making a public Wikipedia-style tech glossary site for at least a year or so. I think it'd be very useful but haven't gotten around to it (in a year so what does that tell you).

> I think it'd be a hard sell to smaller teams, Yes, I suspect you are correct, which is my biggest misgiving about pursuing this product too much further. Unfortunately for me, new/small growing teams are my preferred niche! > maybe_ to organizations that are a bit older or larger and have accumulated a lot of internal cruft That's an interesting thought. That segment is a harder one to break into for a "solopreneur". > On a different note - have you considered doing some content marketing by making a public jargonaut for common development terms? Yes, I have actually. When trying to determine what other "glossary" solutions exists I found that there are quite a number glossaries that people appear to have put together as part of their content marketing play. One of the niches I could see Jargonaut fill is the place to go to publish a public glossary, although I am not sure the monetization angle there (apart from adverts).
