04 Business breakdown

Who needs this

A community organizer, remote team lead, or event host who wants a fun, branded Diwali microsite for their distributed team or online community without hiring a developer.

Job to be done

When Diwali is approaching, they need a shared moment of celebration where participants can pop virtual crackers and leave wishes that appear in one sky, without asking anyone to install software.

Why they might pay

They get a branded, embeddable page in 10 minutes instead of wrestling with a Three.js tutorial or paying a freelance developer for a custom build.

Alternatives

WhatsApp/Slack threads, Google Forms, static greeting card apps, pasting GIFs, or hiring a freelance developer for a custom site.

Differentiation wedge

A paid one-page 'Diwali sky' template with a hosted wish list, an admin link for moderation, and no account required for visitors. The first version can be static and refreshed manually.

OPC scope

One-page static Three.js demo with a simple wish-submission form and a basic embedded sky visualization. No accounts, no WebSocket backend, no persistent real-time multiuser sync.

Open questions

  • Will a host pay for a one-time template?
  • How many simultaneous visitors should the page support?
  • Does 'shared sky' mean real-time live updates or just a chronological wish list?
  • Is the buyer the host or an organization’s people-ops team?

05 Search & acquisition

Primary channel:

Seasonal launch on Hacker News and Product Hunt, plus indie hacker communities and creator newsletters before Diwali. SEO is only useful in the weeks leading up to the festival.

Talking points

  • Your team's Diwali sky is one link away
  • No code; just share the link and let wishes fly
  • Runs in the browser; no app install; moderation through a simple admin link

Minimum experiment 06 Minimum validation experiment

One falsifiable step before you continue or stop.

Valid signal = real task completion, reuse, or pay intent — with observe + continue/stop.

Contact 5-10 remote team leads, community moderators, and event organizers. Ask what they did for the last Diwali, what tools they used, whether they paid for celebration tools, and what annoyed them.

Observe

Capture verbatim workarounds such as 'we posted a wish thread' or 'we used a Google Form', and note any stated budget or desire for a shared visual page.

Continue

At least 2 hosts describe a manual workaround and wish for a shared visual page.

Stop

Most hosts say 'we just send a message and it's fine' and show no interest.

Build a one-page demo: Three.js sky with cracker bursts and a wish form. Add a $19 'Build my Diwali sky' pre-order button and an email capture form.

Observe

Look at visitor behavior, email signups, pre-order payments, and which section causes the most clicks or drop-off.

Continue

At least 3 non-founder strangers pre-order or pay a deposit.

Stop

No paid signals after 100 targeted visitors or after 7 days, whichever comes first.

For each pre-order, manually create a personalized page from a starter template and deliver it within 2 days. Ask the host to send it to their real team or community.

Observe

Measure whether the host shares it, whether participants leave wishes, and whether the host asks for paid changes.

Continue

At least one user shares it with a group and asks for a small paid revision.

Stop

Participants are confused or the host does not send it to anyone.

Observe whether participants expect new wishes to appear live without refreshing the page, or whether a simple wish list is enough.

Observe

Track user comments like 'is this live?' and whether people keep checking back for updates.

Continue

People keep engaging with the page without complaining about stale wishes.

Stop

Multiple users say the page feels broken because updates are not live; then real-time sync enters the required scope.

How should I read the score?
