Idea type: Minimal Signal

There’s barely any market activity - either because the problem is very niche or not important enough. You’ll need to prove real demand exists before investing significant time.

Should You Build It?

Not yet, validate more.

Your are here

Your idea for a poll application for streamers falls into a 'Minimal Signal' category. This suggests that there may not be strong, validated demand for this type of product currently, as evidenced by the low number of similar products (n_matches = 2). The engagement (n_comments = 2) on these similar products is also low, indicating limited discussion or enthusiasm. This could mean the problem you're solving is very niche or not considered crucial by streamers right now. While one product received positive initial feedback on its potential and ease of use, the overall market signal is weak. Before dedicating significant resources, it's crucial to validate whether there's genuine interest in a unified polling solution for streamers across multiple platforms.

Recommendations

  1. Begin by directly engaging with streamers in relevant communities (Twitch, YouTube, Twitter, TikTok forums). Understand their current polling methods and pain points. Don't just ask if they'd use your product; understand how they currently handle polls and what problems they face with existing solutions.
  2. Manually offer a cross-platform polling service to a few streamers. Aggregate results from different platforms for them using existing tools. This will provide valuable insights into the actual demand and workflow integration challenges without building anything. Focus on 2-3 streamers to give a high touch service and get really good feedback.
  3. Create a short explainer video showcasing the benefits of your unified polling solution. Track views, engagement, and comments to gauge interest. Target the video to specific streamer niches to see if certain groups are more receptive. Consider using a tool like Loom to make it feel personal.
  4. Set up a landing page with a waiting list and offer exclusive early access or bonus features for those who sign up. If possible, ask for a small, non-refundable deposit to demonstrate serious intent. This filters out casual interest and helps validate real demand.
  5. Closely monitor the Feedback Vote product mentioned in the similar products. It was lauded for being a potentially game-changing solution. Pay close attention to how that product evolves and how streamers adopt (or don't adopt) it over time to validate the category. See how it handles multiple platforms, and where the discussion moves.
  6. If you can't find at least five streamers willing to commit to your waiting list within three weeks, seriously reconsider the viability of this specific product idea. It might indicate a lack of market need or that your value proposition isn't resonating.

Questions

  1. Given the low engagement on similar products, what specific strategies will you employ to drive adoption and usage of your polling application among streamers? What about discoverability within each platform?
  2. Assuming the 'Minimal Signal' assessment is correct, how will you measure and demonstrate the value proposition of your unified polling solution to streamers who may already be using platform-specific tools, or not polling at all?
  3. How will you ensure fair and accurate poll results across platforms with varying bot activity and user demographics, and how will you communicate this to streamers to build trust in your product?

This chart summarizes all the similar products we found for your idea in a single plot.

The x-axis represents the overall feedback each product received. This is calculated from the net use and buy signals that were expressed in the comments. The maximum is +1, which means all comments (across all similar products) were positive, expressed a willingness to use & buy said product. The minimum is -1 and it means the exact opposite.

The y-axis captures the strength of the signal, i.e. how many people commented and how does this rank against other products in this category. The maximum is +1, which means these products were the most liked, upvoted and talked about launches recently. The minimum is 0, meaning zero engagement or feedback was received.

The sizes of the product dots are determined by the relevance to your idea, where 10 is the maximum.

Your idea is the big blueish dot, which should lie somewhere in the polygon defined by these products. It can be off-center because we use custom weighting to summarize these metrics.
