What do you think about API for displaying tech/Startup/SaaS quotes on loading screens ?
I am thinking about building a service which provide API to get tech/Startup/SaaS inspirational quote on your loading / wait screen . Target market is probably small sass
I can't imagine anyone paying for something like this, but might be a good side project to market a related paid product.
Could host the whole thing on a free public CDN (since is would all be all static I imagine) and open source so people could contribute quotes easily (just update a json file?)
If you're aiming at something paid, then instead of generic inspirational quotes, you could aim it more at testimonials, so a company could easily collect and share testimonials from existing users and have them appear on the loading screens. Have it be customizable in terms of layout and colors, etc.
Thanks a lot . It is definitely something to research more about .
Make it a browser plugin that shows a quote when opening a new tab? Monetize by mixing in affiliate links.

Ah yes. Fair point. Still, they do pretty much everything so maybe having a focus on indie dev quotes does give you a SEO edge, and a different business model free + affiliate links (or paid links at some point) could work as well.

thats true . hard-coded list with a random selection is easy but can be limited and curating good and updating good quotes can be hard . Is there any other possibility for handling this , Like a backend package which communicate whit the API and store it locally , based on the number traffic etc they can communicate and get additional quotes etc and store it locally , I mean this can avoid the problem of a real time API communication right ? I am not sure , just asking
