Real Apps You Could Build

Examples of MVPs built by non-technical people.

V

Vintage Furniture Finder

Searches Chairish, 1stDibs, and 47 other sites at once

5 weekends for basic MVP

I kept losing clients because finding that "perfect mid-century credenza under $3000" meant opening 50 browser tabs and searching for hours. Half the time, the piece would sell before my client approved it.

A

Amazon Competitor Price Tracker

Tracks 500+ competitor listings while you sleep

4 weekends for prototype

I was checking 200 competitor prices every morning on Amazon. Took 3 hours. By the time I updated my prices, I'd already lost the Buy Box and a day's sales.

A

Art Commission Tracker

No more lost Instagram DMs

4 weeks to working version

I had someone DM me about a $3000 pet portrait but Instagram buried it under 50 other messages. Found it 3 months later. They'd hired someone else. I literally cried.

C

Cheese Production Calculator

Calculates exact milk fat percentages for artisan cheese

3 weeks for first version

I was losing $1000s because calculating milk fat percentages for different cheese types meant complex math I'd do wrong at 4am. One batch of bad cheddar = week's profit gone.
