Poda
"Don't build another project management tool. Build a visual sitemap planner for web agencies."
"They crave a simple, visual mind-map interface to plan projects intuitivelyâescape from complex, linear tools."
Lifetime deal with unlimited users may become unsustainable. Niche is small and could be copied by bigger players if it gains traction.
The 4-Dimension Scorecard
Solid $37k revenue validates demand for visual project management, but not yet a blockbuster.
4.91 rating shows strong love, but 76 reviews is moderate volume. Gaps like missing deadlines create an opening.
Lifetime deal at $49 with unlimited users is risky for scaling. No subscription model.
Asana, Trello are giants but bloated. Poda wins on simplicity and visual approach. A focused niche player can outmaneuver them.

- Sitemap-specific templates (double down on the niche)
