Hey ✌️,
I want to find a new product to develop and I think about a no-code scrapping platform.
There are many no-code tools for one-shot scrapping but I don't know of a tool that allows you to do it at scale and in a recurring way without coding requirements.
The power of something like scrapy but without code (and connected to others tools with zapier for example)
Do you think there is a market ?
How big is this specific market? Missing feature does not mean that people are looking for the feature.
I think there might be, but that's a huge goal to go after.
How would you go about developing an MVP? And how would that MVP be better than some of the tools already on the market?
In my opinion there is a market, I think there are two potential obstacles.
Lack of resuability: Some people only need to scrape once, then they wont need to scrape anymore. How are you going to price single users?
Marketing: I sometimes check Upwork for freelancing gigs, and there are many simple scraping jobs that a simple no-code tool could handle. But my concern will be marketing your product and reaching users. Scraping can be needed by all types of businesses/people, this means your mass of users are not condensed in one area. How are you going to reach them? I'm thinking SEO, but will the common guy even search for a scraping tool rather than hire someone to do it? How is he going to know the product exists?
These are some important points that I can think of.
