Four days of research, one clear lesson: distribution beats features. I thought about building my own email service, then reality hit. Here is what I did instead.
I have six live projects and a few concepts. The problem is not having ideas — it is figuring out which ones deserve more time and which ones need to evolve. Here is how I am mapping what I have built against what the market actually pays for.

A field guide to where AI money is actually being made right now. Who is winning, who is failing, what categories of indie products print revenue, how distribution beats features, and the make-money-online plays that work beyond AI tools.
