> Both your current projects look extremely impressive and polished. And viable!
Appreciate it and thanks for the positive feedback! But those are two of the multitudes of side projects I have collected that I haven't figured out how to monetize. My "day job" is at a VC-backed startup that is going through a protracted wind-down because it also failed to find a viable GTM. So yeah, I've learned some hard lessons in multiple facets of my career!

My rule now is that if I'm building something for fun, I just open source it. If I want to make money, I'm going to first figure out who's paying and how do I get them to pay. AI MVPs are easy now to let you flesh out an idea one level up from a slide deck (in fact, maybe this is its own startup idea? Use AI to build an MVP from a deck??).
I had a non-technical friend recently spin up a full blown startup with customers using nothing but Claude + Replit (not plugging, but just sharing to show that it's real: https://bullship.co). He came up with the idea after talking to a friend and finding that indeed, the market had only two major competitors who both charged too much for many smaller customers.
The code is throwaway in my book, but it's enough to validate the idea by actually getting people to pay for something they can use. It won't scale, but that's fine; by the point that he needs it to scale, he'll be able to hire people with more skill to fix or rebuild it.
https://turas.app video is confusing, what I got is I have to do the planning myself using your app. Why would I do that instead I can get Chatgpt do the planning for me with some keywords on what I like/want.
You also have 20 different icons, that is so confusing for the user, get rid of most of them and just keep maybe 3 or 4.
