- **Status:** Sent proposals to user, awaiting approval
- **Next:** Build MVP once direction is chosen
- **Blocker:** Need human decision on which model to pursue
## Session 2 — 2026-02-14 12:21 UTC (Morning Session 1)
- Phase 0: Deep market research on specific API products
- Scraped pricing from: ScreenshotOne, Urlbox, HCTI, Microlink, Bannerbear, Placid, DocRaptor, PDFShift, Hookdeck, JsonLink, OpenGraph.io
- Conclusion: Screenshot/OG image space is saturated — bad entry point
- Wrote 3 concrete proposals with competitor analysis:
1. **Webhook Relay & Transform API** — receive, transform, forward webhooks. Hookdeck competitor at lower price.
2. **Markdown/HTML to PDF API** — markdown-first PDF generation. DocRaptor competitor with better DX.
3. **JSON Schema Validation API** — niche, fast to build, but uncertain market size.
- Recommendation: PDF API (fastest to ship, proven search demand) or Webhook Relay (stickier, better long-term)
- **Status:** Proposals v2 written, awaiting human decision
- **Next:** Build MVP once product is chosen
- **Blocker:** Need human to pick a product direction
