If there's a gap, you get the market read, a full launch blueprint, and a paste-ready prompt for your AI builder. Plus emerging niches, live trends, a repo 'stay on track' tool and a UX audit. Search is free — first 250 users get 30 credits with code LAUNCH30.
Hey hunters! 👋
Was It Built? came from a painful pattern I kept repeating: spending whole weekends — and $20–50/mo of AI-builder credits — shipping an app that already existed, or that nobody actually wanted.
The problem is that validating an idea is scattered and technical. You dig through GitHub, guess at demand, then stare at a blank page wondering how to even start.
So I built one plain-English flow:
🔍 Type your idea → we scan GitHub, Hugging Face & package registries and AI gives a verdict: Done, Partial, or Novel
📊 Size the market — real demand, competition & viability
🚀 Get a full Launch Blueprint: plan, stack, architecture + a paste-ready first prompt for your AI builder
It started as just the search + verdict, but every tester asked "ok… so what do I build instead?" — so it grew into the market read, blueprint, emerging niches, live trends, a 'stay on track' tool for existing repos, and a UX audit. All for people new to AI — no jargon, no code.
🎁 Launch gift for the first 250 hunters: code LAUNCH30 = 30 free credits (no card). Redeem on the Plans page after signup.
Would love your honest feedback — what would make this a must-use for you? 🙏
