Recently I came across 7 Days Startup book, and wanted to see how it would work in practice. Being a part of YC School, and also working in a shared startup office - I often heard how hard it is to find a product-market fit, ask customers for their opinions, and get first leads.
I thought this could be a great problem to tackle, and may be solved fast enough. Since I am not personally or emotionally involved in other founders’ projects, it is much easier for me to survey potential clients about their honest opinions. Using my network, plus the 6 degrees of separation, I can easily reach professionals across different fields - and collect their opinions on project pitches - for 20-25% cut for their time.
Over the week I built Blue Delivery Imp - very barebones, but allows startups to post surveys, and me to deliver them in PDFs (plus a free demo!) - its now in a usable state, so I’m curious if anyone is going to find it actually useful?
Its a bit of manual labor, so I was thinking of subscription model $59/mo. - making it around $15 or less per report. I think it may save many new startups a lot of headache and time in their early days, and be more reliable than Google Ads.
Would love to hear your opinions!

As simple as it gets.
Start working on it. Create something, a simple MVP, to test your idea. Then worry about the details. If you do it before you even begin with your project, you will end up with a hundred reasons not to start it at all.
Ask HN: If you didn't know it, how would you learn Front-end today?
As a developer with a bit over 5 years experience, I am sometimes asked by my friends about starting their own Front-end career. Where do you begin? What is an outdated knowledge, and what important? How do you write code that is at least close to being "production-ready" these days?That questions asked about Java are a little simpler for me - "Take this book, this one and this. Here are the...
