Saturation in several areas. What do you think?
I've been working on the web for many years and I've noticed that we've reached saturation in several areas.
If I think about the ecosystems of Google Play, Shopify, Notion, and other digital product marketplaces, when it comes to marketing, the competition on advertising platforms is incredibly expensive.
We've reached the point where even e-commerce is a risk.
What do you think?

I thought selling Shopify Apps was easier than selling Google Apps
Hi everyone,
I'm a Shopify Partner. I've developed apps for Google in the past, but I realized the real problem was installing apps and selling them.
The real problem wasn't developing the app. I understand the same problem exists for Shopify apps.
I err ?
Thanks

I’d like to switch completely to Ubuntu, but what about Teams?
Hi everyone.
I’d like to switch to Ubuntu permanently, but I’m an IT consultant living in a world of Windows computers. One of the first issues is Teams. How can I install it and use it easily for work?
Thanks
I've created a few KDP books, but still zero sales.
Hi everyone.
I’ve set up some KDP listings and put some money into the budget, but after two weeks, I still have zero sales. Generally speaking, how much time and money does it take to make a few sales?
Thanks.
Unpopular opinion: passive income doesn't exist. Deferred income does
I see this term thrown around here every day, and I think it's the single biggest reason people burn out and quit after three months.
"Passive income" implies money that arrives without work. Outside of a few genuinely financial plays — dividends, bonds, index funds, rental property if you outsource management — that thing doesn't exist. What actually exists is **deferred income with a flywheel effect**: you do a large, concentrated amount of work upfront, and you get paid for it over months or years instead of in one lump sum.
Two examples I keep coming back to:
--> Apps. You build it. It sells. If it works, it keeps selling with relatively little maintenance — a few bug fixes, an OS update every now and then, some support tickets. If the concept is evergreen and not tied to a trend, it can produce revenue for years. But you still built the thing, and you still maintain it.
-->KDP.You spend real effort producing a genuinely good book. You pick a niche that has demand and isn't saturated. If you got both of those right, that book sells for a long time with no additional work per sale. But the work was real, it was concentrated at the start, and it was not passive.
The difference matters because it changes your expectations. If you go in thinking "passive," you quit when month one pays you $12. If you go in thinking "I'm front-loading a year of income into six weeks of work," you keep going, and you evaluate the asset on its lifetime revenue instead of its first month.
Stop looking for passive. Look for leverage and durability.
Gumroad
Hi everyone. I still don't understand how to sell on Gumroad. Have you all created an external community and driven traffic to Gumroad?
building an app for a Shopify store
I need to develop an app for a Shopify store.
Which service do you use for hosting, databases, etc.?
How much does it cost you per month or year?
Thanks.
I am a partner, but I have never created a public app.
Hi everyone,
I was thinking about developing an app. It’s not a big one; I just need to store a small amount of external data.
How long does the Shopify approval process take?
Thanks.
They just blocked my account.
Hi everyone.
My account has just been blocked. From what I can gather, they claim I don't have the rights to publish a certain book. They’ve asked me to submit documentation proving otherwise.
But I actually wrote the book myself, so what kind of documentation am I supposed to have?
Thanks for the help.

Hey everyone!
I'm currently developing three different tools and I'd love to get your perspective on which one has the most potential.
- Trading Bot (Swing Trading)
I've built an automated swing trading bot and ran backtests on 2 years of historical data. Currently sitting at a 56% win rate on profitable trades. It's a solid foundation, but I'm wondering if there's real market demand or if it's too saturated.
- Automated Blog Generator (WordPress Plugin)
This one automatically creates blog content from sources you provide. It generates articles and publishes them completely autonomously—no manual input needed. I'm planning to adapt it as a WordPress plugin so users can implement it like any other plugin. Great for content creators and bloggers.
- Recipe & Shopping Assistant
The problem: I never know what to cook when I get home, and I always buy the wrong stuff at the grocery store. This tool solves that by creating a smart shopping list tied to actual recipes. It's solving a real pain point in my life.
My question: Which of these would YOU find most useful?
What's missing from the market?
Any feedback on viability, competition, or direction would be super helpful as I prioritize my time.
Building in public and grateful for your thoughts! 🙌
