Semi-tangent: about 2 months ago someone posted a site that listed potential SaaS eligible services requested and suggested price points, does anyone recall that url?

nothing to contribute on my own, but this may interest you: https://www.indiehackers.com/businesses - probably something worth reading as it goes in to ideas and their implementation. interesting to note that there is a weather app chrome extension there that seems to make 2.5k per month.

GPU miners

Bitcoin? I thought there are lots of free stuff for that.

GPU's aren't used for mining Bitcoin. Bitcoin's algorithm is CPU-intensive, and is nearly exclusively done on from-the-Silicon-up purpose-built chips like Avalon and Antminer.

GPU's are used for mining other cryptocurrencies like Litecoin and Ethereum. These can be traded for Bitcoin or fiat currencies.

I built an app plugin for Shopify called Custom Fields https://customfields.bonify.io

I must say, if you want to build something that instantly has a market consider building plugins for existing 3rd party systems that allow you to charge a fee. It ends up being a much smaller project than trying to build your own, huge web app, and it comes with a targeted, focused audience who can easily install your app with a couple clicks (and get charged). You don't really have to market anything.

Build something good and people will find it.
