Kind of off-topic, I've seen a whole lot of solo devs tackle this problem over the last 1-2 years, seems as if the market can support a lot of competition. How did you find going into a crowded space and how did you differentiate? As you mention, I'm guessing it makes the validation part a lot simpler.

Landing page looks great btw.

At first I didn't even think about differentiation. Well, the only thing is that I'm in love with good UI/UX, so I'm trying to make it pleasant to use.

So, few points which made me decide to work on the side project:

1. I saw few successful examples of exactly the same products, whose founders are solo founders just like me. I knew exactly that they were successful

2. I saw few examples of bad UI/UX, so I decided that I could do better (if it was that simple, sigh...)

3. I instantly got the idea what these services are all about, so I liked it

But I'm not successful, yet.

I was wondering, did you do the UI/UX yourself? Or you hired someone?
