HostlessWP
Run your existing WordPress site on Cloudflare Workers
What is HostlessWP?
HostlessWP is a free, open source command-line tool that moves a running WordPress site onto Cloudflare Workers with one command: npx hostlesswp. PHP 8.3 runs inside the Worker as WebAssembly, the site keeps its existing MySQL database, reached through Cloudflare Hyperdrive over SSL or a Cloudflare Tunnel, and the media library goes to R2 or another S3-compatible bucket. WordPress core, the theme and the plugins are not modified. A guided setup first runs a read-only check that lists active plugins against a tested compatibility list, then deploys to a test address, and the original site keeps serving until the domain is switched. The 30 most-installed WordPress.org plugins load at page level, and a real WooCommerce checkout was tested end to end. Small sites fit the Workers Free plan. A public WooCommerce demo resets every 3 hours. Early preview, GPL-2.0-or-later.

A big market is great only if you can take a substantial share of that market. If it is so competitive that you can't actually garner market share, it's not actually valuable to you. There's a little bit of a Goldilocks approach — markets that are big enough to create enduring products but where you could still be a relative big fish in a smaller pond.
Market size is only half the story — competition determines whether you can actually capture any of it
Falzon describes the two-dimensional market assessment framework applied at Mosaic when evaluating acquisitions: market size alone is insufficient. VPNs were avoided because every dollar of user acquisition competed against players spending aggressively. Personal finance was avoided because banks with 10x higher LTVs would always outbid a standalone budgeting app for the same acquisition keywords. The lesson: find markets large enough to build a real business but not so contested that you must outspend incumbents just to exist.
we started creating content with no new video but we got to 250,000 followers like 45 days later and we're like all right so like that worked and like we're generating million plus view outcomes and we're doing it on a weekly basis there's something there
Grow a TikTok account to 250K followers in 45 days using only existing raw footage
Before committing budget, Ladder took a brand-new coach account, grabbed all the raw phone footage she had ever shot, and iterated on editing and format to reach 250K followers in 45 days without filming anything new. The exercise proved TikTok viability for the Ladder content style, built platform intuition about what hooks worked, and gave the team enough organic data to start putting paid dollars behind winners.
There's a play for whatever you're stuck on.
