🚀 I just shipped Digital Product Opportunity Radar, a market intelligence Actor built on Apify.
The problem I wanted to solve:
How do you decide which digital product niche is actually worth testing?
Instead of generating random ideas, the Actor uses marketplace evidence from Etsy and trend validation from Pinterest to identify and rank opportunities.
It evaluates signals such as:
• Demand and competition
• Pricing evidence
• Digital-product fit
• Market-entry potential
• Pinterest trend validation
Each opportunity receives a transparent TEST / WATCH / SKIP decision with scores, reasoning, and risks.
Built with TypeScript, Node.js, Apify, data extraction, normalization, and ranking logic.
See exactly what’s driving revenue, where growth is leaking, and which products, channels, and customers deserve more investment.
I developed an e-commerce growth intelligence system around one question:
Where should the business invest next?
Most stores already have plenty of data. The harder problem is understanding what that data means for revenue, marketing spend, products, and customer growth.
So instead of building another dashboard full of charts, I’m structuring the system around decisions.
It brings together signals such as revenue, ROAS, CAC, conversion, product performance, repeat purchases, and retention to identify things like:
which channels deserve more budget, where acquisition is becoming inefficient, which products attract traffic but fail to convert, and where repeat customers are creating stronger value.
The goal isn’t just to answer:
“What happened?”
It’s to answer:
“What should we do next?”
Because the most useful analytics system isn’t the one with the most charts.
It’s the one that makes the next business decision clearer.
