What is positioning? For an engineer, there's almost no difference between a cake and a cupcake. Same tools, same method, slightly different recipes. But for the market, the difference is huge. Choose the wrong positioning and you torture yourself, your clients, and your employees trying to sell it.
I realized it because I read the book Obviously Awesome. Today I asked Claude Code to research new niches for trip2g. Before, it was just a tool for publishing notes directly from Obsidian. I thought that people needed this tool, but when I started showing this product and tried to sell it, I realized that people don't have content — and if someone has it, they already have all that they need. It was an expensive lesson for an engineer who wants to make their own product without any market research and without understanding the market at all. It was an expensive lesson because I spent almost one year developing it in a closed room.
Okay, people don't have content to share through my software. Maybe I can collect knowledge and build knowledge bases from it. Now I propose to build a knowledge base from a public person's content. Plus, the person receives a website with this base (like elha.cc). Also, I'm developing an AI chat that can use knowledge bases as a foundation and answer exactly through narrow knowledge. And that isn't even the most interesting part. The chat can answer using a few knowledge bases at once. Can you imagine Marcus Aurelius, Nietzsche, and Confucius having a debate about your problem? That's exactly the problem I want to solve.
I wanted to write about my new positioning and how it connects with what I wrote above, but this summary is already too long. Next time I will continue.
