I'm validating whether developers actually want this or if it's just me:
Problem: I know personal branding helps career growth, but I have 500+ LinkedIn connections and zero posts. Writing "content" feels performative and time-consuming.
Proposed solution: Daily push notifications with quick prompts ("What are you working on?"). Answer in one line. AI transforms weekly check-ins into platform-specific posts (LinkedIn, X, Mastodon, YouTube). You review/edit before posting.
Target: Developers who know they should build a brand but hate "content creation"
Pricing hypothesis: $29/mo for unlimited AI-generated posts
Before I build this:
- Would you actually use daily check-ins for brand building?
- Is $29/mo reasonable for this?
- What would make you NOT use this?
Planning to kill the project if <20 people say they'd pay. Build if 50+ would pay.
Brutally honest feedback needed.*

I really like the idea of a daily check in, but I don’t want to sound like AI.
I think the issue that many would face is that they just don’t have interesting things to say every day. But maybe a tool like this would prove me wrong and improve my self esteem at the same time.

Brutally honest feedback: if everyone has a brand, then it's not special anymore. What's the next move after that?
