From Frustration to Function: Building Niche Tools in Minutes
Ever wasted hours looking for that one specific tool that does exactly what you need? The bottleneck used to be 'does this tool exist'. Now the bottleneck is 'have I bothered to describe it yet'. I’m building niche tools for you—let me know what you need.
The New Reality of Development
Recently, while working from a remote location with limited connectivity, I realized that the "tool search" era is effectively over. By leveraging AI (Codex), I went from an idea to a fully deployed, live web tool in just 15 minutes.
The traditional bottleneck—"does this tool exist?"—has been replaced by a much simpler requirement: "Have I bothered to describe it yet?"
Your Turn: What Are You Missing?
I find this shift incredibly liberating. Because I want to put this capability to the test, I’m opening the floor to you.
If there is a small, niche tool you’ve always wished existed—the kind of project no one would ever build commercially—let me know in the comments. I’ll build it.
