I think FreshBuzzer is a similar idea: https://freshbuzzer.com/


You're right, this looks like almost exactly the product I would have made if I decided to turn it into a product. I think they started around the same time I did. I wonder how much money they're making on it? Could be a nice little lifestyle business if they get enough users. I bet their Airbnb-focused features would be the real moneymaker, I didn't consider that as a potential market.

for people that don't want to click... $450/month and also buzzmein was the old name


Wow cool, thanks for finding that! Interesting to see how my idea of revenue potential matched with reality. I guess it matched pretty well, however I see he hasn't done any advertising and I feel like revenue could grow 10x or more if more people knew about it. At that point it seems like it would be a worthwhile project. Tricky to market though as it's one of those things that people don't know they want until it's explained to them.


yeah certainly possible to get the word out and likely get the numbers up. to hit that target with their prices you'd need about 1500 people using it every month. definitely not unreasonable but not easy since it's in a tiny niche that people don't really think about.
