I had a chance to test @daicandev's tool Proven.
The report is quite comprehensive and SUPER valuable.
It goes DEEP and this isn't something you can put together with a single @grok prompt—sorry man.
I am impressed and even got some ideas for the app's distribution phase 🤩
I want to publicly say that your app is worth buying and can't wait to see final product @daicandev
it got me:
reddit quotes that I can get into and try to low key insert my app into.
strong evaluation of idea, it's not just a wrapper that connects to an LLM, I bet the internal prompting is robust.
competitor map showed clear competitors and actually got me stoked because they're not attacking the pain point I'm solving so that proves my app could work.
And the risk analyzer is peak, it detected a problem I currently have without me mentioning it. It would've helped me prevent it if used it prior to launching

The ones who got proven
What builders are saying
Two ways this goes
Without Proven
You spent 11 weeks on it. Launched on a Tuesday. Shared it everywhere. Watched the analytics for 3 days straight.
Seventeen visitors. Twelve were you.
With Proven
You submitted one paragraph. Four minutes later: pain score 81, three target personas, a go-to-market plan.
● BUILD IT. The pain is real.
WHAT WE ARE BUILDING
Validation is step one.
Proven is becoming a full execution system for solo builders. This is where it goes.

From the builder
This is my 5th product. The first one cost me the most. It was four months of building, I launched to no one, with a LinkedIn post with 100 visits and my friends' likes.
That was it.
Being honest?
I didn't know what I was waiting to happen.
For every new idea, I knew how to get the good things behind the fail, and it helped me polish my direction.
But something was always missing...
I was "I don't like social media" guy, but I realized that I needed it, to be able to sell my products. Then I put my discipline belt and my consistency cap and started in X.
I was reply guy.
I was THE reply guy.
And oh man! it clicked!
I knew it clicked cause I found myself feeling good just giving advice and sharing what I learned. Years of coding and Fiverr freelancing that I was able to finally get some value from. I discovered the build in public community in X. So many real people, I learned a lot from them too.
And then, bit by bit I hit 1k followers, in 2 months and a week.
Proven is all the years of learnings, of stand ups after the fall, of nights without sleep.
I built it to share my workflows and my thought process. Not just another AI wrapper. A great value I'm polishing every day with the community.
I keep learning.
That's Proven.
It's not the easy way, is the roadmap.
Proven covers only 20% of the work. The rest is up to you. You need to talk to real users, you need to fail, to polish, to pivot when needed. There is no tool that skips that part and I won't pretend this one does.
