SciFi2App Turns Novels Into App Opportunities
A tool for solo developers that extracts buildable product ideas from science fiction, checks them against present-day reality and markets, and sorts them into BUILD, WATCH, or DROP.
Field notes
The visible example converts a 1966 fictional premise—air as a metered necessity—into the broader principle "Metered Essentials." It then maps that principle to present-day product gaps, including agent-level cost visibility and spending permissions, and marks the opportunity "Reality Level 3 · Early market." The page says AI runs only when the user presses a button and displays a limit of three opportunities, but the extract does not reveal how the underlying market checks are performed.
