I literally made it up.

Honestly, I think it just seems that the products are so good. And it seems like every niche that you can think of, that's what it feels like to me. Has five or six products. Like there's no world of like, oh, there's one competitor and they have a crappy product. People are just building better stuff than they were 10 years ago, right?

Like 10 years ago, you're like, oh, this thing, it looks crappy, but it does exactly what I say it's going to do. And that kind of worked for some people. But I just feel like the level of polish you need in a product is so much higher now. And it's funny because I think of it because... very first version of my product, I thought it looked pretty good.

And then I put it in front of people, like five people. And I was like, oh, and they were like, ooh, like, where do I change the name? And I expect to be able to do that in line. And, and this font looks weird and it's too big. And like, I was like, what, what, but it does what I said it was going to do. Like, okay.

Yeah, things are polished. And I don't know, it feels like this whole revolution of everyone shipping product is great, but everyone is shipping a product. So there is a ton of competition, even in like, so when I was thinking if I wanted to do other ideas, I was talking to friends that work in other industries. I talked to someone in insurance.

I talked to someone who's in this like really niche, really niche industry you've probably never heard of. And I was like, definitely they don't have tools because no one even knows what they do. But they, like, they do. They have like, she was like, yeah, we have like five competitors. I looked at the schools. I looked at, like, I was looking across anything where I knew someone.

Environmental, like, survey companies. I was like, all of these sectors. have products. I think I even told you, I filled out a, they call them requests for proposal for this like really niche thing. Like it was, I was like, no one's gonna, no one's gonna apply for this or submit a proposal to this because no one has ever heard of this. I didn't get it.

But that was another example of like, there were like hundreds of competitors. And I was like, who are these people? And so... It's a little bit of a rant and it's good for capitalism, but it's bad for me in that these products are really good. And no matter what you think is unique, like it's probably not. Someone's probably doing it with more money and better UI.

So you really just have to put the work in to make the product better. Like the product development has to be a continuous cycle.
