I spent the weekend coding my most niche idea ever. It's called — it's a simple site that tells you which travel adapter you need for your next trip. I scrapped the voltage data of 195 countries and built this in NextJS + Tailwind. Here's a one pager:

I've always been fascinated by 'boring' websites. You always hear about AI and web3 startups but have you ever thought that the micro pdf to word tool or the yt downloader site you use everyday is run by a solo dev who makes a shit ton of money shipping boring products.

My idea isn't new. People have had content websites in this niche for a while. But they're terrible it takes 12 to 13 clicks/scrolls + reading a lot of text to get to the information you want. I just reduced that to 2 clicks. P.S: this site gets 21k hits a month and makes $4k

I improved the UX: - key information is shown above the fold, no scrolling - takes 2 clicks (auto-detects your location so you don't have to fill the first form) - super nice vector illustrations of plugs, instead of low quality images - my domain is easier to remember

The way I'm going to monetize this is: - amazon affiliate: everyone who's looking for this info is looking to buy adapters - but the reason why I'll make more money than others is they all have static links to a single store. I'm building a dynamic link switcher that shows them amazon links of their region and I get a % whenever someone buys.(Still a WIP)

growth/monetisation ideas: - I'll make an embed that bloggers can put on their site to give me backlinks - I could make an API that AirBnB can use to show this data on their site - I'm going to generate 33,000 pages programmatically and do SEO for every country to every other country combination.

I usually launch a lot of finished things but wanted to get in the habit of shipping in prod. I'll keep you all posted about how this does! It's one of the first products I've built myself, as I'm learning how to code. long live ultra-niche internet products later losers, yash

Awesome thing, 100% going to use it. Couple things: I typed in "USA", "US" and "America" to search for USA. Also ngl, but using the country's flag emoji in the search field threw me off.

Coinbase CEO Explains “Reverse Prompting” and the Rise of the AI CEO Brian Armstrong: “One of the big pushes we made in the last year was we got our own internal hosted AI model that was connected to all of our data sources, right?” “So it's like every Slack message, every Google doc, Salesforce data, Confluence, you know.” “So now the data is all aggregated and I've started to ask it really… it's not just like prompting it, ‘Hey, can you write this kind of memo for me,’ or something.” “I'm asking these AI agents now, ‘As CEO, what should I be aware of in the company that I might not be aware of?’ And it'll tell me, ‘Did you know that there's actually disagreement on this team about the strategy?’ And I was like, actually, I didn't know that.” “This is like reverse prompting. So instead of telling the AI agent what you want it to do, you ask it what you should be thinking more about.” @jason: “It's a mentor. It's a coach.” Brian: “Yeah. Like, what could make me a better CEO? And it's like, ‘Well, I looked at how you spent your time in the last quarter and here's how you said that you wanted to spend it, but you actually spent 32% of your time on this instead of 20%.’” “I've asked it other questions like, ‘What's the thing that I changed my mind on the most over the last year?’ Things like that.” “It'll prompt you with information you should be thinking about instead of the other way around.” Thanks to our partner for making this happen!: Our episode is sponsored by the New York Stock Exchange - a modern marketplace and exchange for building the future.
