Ask HN: Is It Worth It?
Just want to talk with community, because can't decide in my head is it will be worth to invest time in a new project or just stop playing in "Entrepreneur' because I'm running over my saving and need start looking for a job. I have few separate part from different projects, that can be combined * One is web - Figma like editor with variables, UI https://ibb.co/99GGLRt * Second is fast and cheep renderer with Cloudflare workers that can use project from that editor So, my idea was combine them as dynamic image API that will be very cheep and fast. I have did some rough calculation and it can dramatically cheaper than alternatives (Bannerbear, Robolly, Placid and etc, like a lot other and recently launched more here and on PH). But almost all have about 49$/month per 1000 images subscription. And I bet all using puppiter to generate that. While solution is technically different and my math say it easily can be profitable for me to be like 5$ plan for 1000 images. I know that it's good to target high priced product and cheep price can lead to more issue with users, and a market crowded with already working solutions... But, I just really sad to just leave that projects on shelf. But in same time I understand that only advantage here is only price. And as I really suck at marketing, so it will be just like once shoot on PH, etc. So, I have few question: 1. What do you think? Is it worth to place things together and launch it? 2. Are you using/used such dynamic images api and price issue was a thing for you? Really happy to hear any thought. Have a great day! 3 comments on Hacker News.
