Should I continue building or wait for more market validation? (I will not promote)

So I had an idea, took it to Reddit and received a decent amount of favorable validation, about 20ish comments, 158 upvotes, and 48k views. That was good for me to start building.

I am now in that phase of having a prototype that is very close to Kickstarter-ready. However, those last steps to get there require some money i dont really have.

I feel the need to justify / validating again before I proceed with final finishes. This is the hard part, because it takes time, as I have no following, so I can post, get a few views BUT time is money! I guess I have a sense of urgency. I got lucky that the post didn't get taken down but this time it did, so I have no direct place to share it/ market it.

What would you guys do? Do you think I have already proven market demand for it and I just move forward with the kickstarter or be patient and market it for a while before I continue building and spend more money?

What do you use to trade the news?

I'm curious what do people use to trade the news? How do you incorporate news/breaking news into your trading?

The best setups have a catalyst behind them, and the best moves start with a news story. How do you go about looking for news, if at all, in real-time.

Project : Live ticker tracking and Filtered Breaking news idea

Introducing my project! Let me know what you guys think about this? Critiques? Reminder: I'm not technical at all; I'm vibe-coding this and I work as a professional prop trader.

Since then, visually not much has changed (YET), still displays live ticker prices and breaking news. It also shows market hours on the bottom left-hand corner.

What's new is what you can't see!

- A web app that controls the display

- Breaking news is read out loud, along with stock alerts and reminders

- **Breaking news filter! 3-tier system (tier 1 news is not read out loud but displayed, tier 2 news is displayed and read out loud, tier 3 news is read out loud and displayed and will cut off any current news being displayed as it has highest priority). Tier 2 and 3 are market moving/stock moving headlines. Each tier has its own colored banner.

- Sticky note mode! I find this useful for earnings-type trades or when I don't care about tickers; I leave it there to display trading rules. Or when the market is closed, just nice to have reminders in general.

- AI helps look for news when a volume alert is triggered on your stock watchlist

- Market summaries - Get AI scheduled or on-demand AI market summaries to catch you up on the day

-Economic calendar reminders

Thoughts!?!?!?!
