For solo developers who read science fiction
What part of this future
could one developer build today?
Turn an insight from a novel into an app you can build — checked against reality and the market first.
- AI only when you press a button
- Max 3 opportunities
- Evidence against, too
The flow
One insight in. One app out.
Read a novel
Capture an insight
Find the principle
Check reality and market
Pick the one to build
How it works
Four steps
Capture an insight
Read. Notice. Write one or two lines. No AI on save.
- Chapter and page optional
- Book text is never fetched
Analyze
One AI call turns the note into a future principle and the problems it creates.
- First- and second-order effects
- No invented plot facts
Check reality
AI with web search rates how real that future is (0–5) and lists what is still missing.
- Never raised without evidence
- Every source saved with its URL
Choose one, validate, build
Max 3 opportunities. See the solo-developer score and the evidence, validate, then decide.
- Hard gates stay visible
- BUILD gives you a brief for Claude Code
How it thinks
Fiction imagines. Four filters decide.
- Science fiction
- Real today?
- Wanted?
- Buildable solo?
- Validated?
- Your next app
Rules
Boring and buildable beats exciting.
AI only on command
Nothing runs on its own.
Max three ideas
A hundred ideas is noise.
Evidence against
Zero competitors is not good news.
Missing pieces first
Don't rebuild what exists.
You decide
The AI only recommends.
Dropping counts
Bad builds avoided are wins.
