Ask HN: Which of these product ideas would you bet on?
Which of these do you think it'd be easiest to get 30 engaged beta users for?
I don't need to fundraise, my other businesses have given me passive income.
Let's say that an engaged beta user is one who'll pay me $1 a month plus would chat with me for 10 mins a day as I build it. I'm purely building for the love of the game at this point :) Success to me is one where I can spend lots of time building a product for appreciative users who are happy to give me ~unlimited feedback as I build. I'm a machine for turning food into products but engaged users is a critical ingredient for me... For this business, I'd rather a product with less revenue and more engaged users vs one with high revenue but minimally engaged users.

Show HN: I open-sourced my HN comment/reply alerts service
2 months ago I launched a service that sends email alerts when you get a new comment/reply on Hacker News.
I've only been able to acquire 6 users since releasing it (°ー°〃) I tried promoting it here (duuh), Reddit, and LinkedIn. Optimized it for SEO (ranking 3rd on my target keywords). All with limited success.
So I've decided to open-source it! Links to... - frontend: https://github.com/mihailthebuilder/hackernewsalerts-fronten... - backend: https://github.com/mihailthebuilder/hackernewsalerts-backend
I'm still using it for myself, since there's no service that sends alerts when you get a new comment in one of your posts. But I won't invest any more time in it.
Welcome any questions/comments!
