10k for that app seems insane.
Is that insane? I'm not willing to put in more than 1-2 months of work for that price. Can you really make an interesting app in less time than that?

Usually, the price is for the email list, backlinks to the domain name, various social accounts with followers, etc. The price for the actual app is a small part of the equation.

My side-project only had ~500 email subscribers, no MRR, but pretty good domain authority because it marketed itself.
And still it got acquired only after 3 months!

#29Any advice on actually finding the idea that is worth doing? I have a notion page with 20+ tiny ideas, but I still don't find any of them encouraging enough to spend time on. How to overcome this very first step?
Is this list of ideas public? I would be interested in reading them.

Should release by default when there is no dispute.
