I wasted $40k on a fantastic startup idea

Amusingly enough, I've got a document that's essentially a list of ideas where the business model is spurious at best and on that list is a solution almost identical to what was built here.

I appreciate that someone took the dive and then shared the process, pain and failure of seeing it through to its conclusion. The only thing missing is the attempt to raise VC money to scale it to some sort of expert system you can sell to enterprise customers.

Turning the product described in the article into an enterprise product sounds like nonsense to me. The product should arrive to the user that benefits the most. Isn't that people in general?
