The starter provides infrastructure. A useful product still needs a clear task and a result the user can inspect.
Establish the task first
Look for evidence in actual queries, competitor task pages and recent user conversations. A busy website or a pricing page alone does not establish demand for a specific task.
Write down the input, processing behavior, preview and export. If one of these depends on manual repair or a service that is not actually available, resolve that before promising a self-service product.
Generate an independent project
Use the project generator to create a clean source copy with its own brand and preview configuration. Provide a separate database and a fresh authentication secret. Configure any provider credentials in that project’s private environment file.
Change the tool handler, task page and user-facing content together. Keep the starter version record so future improvements can be evaluated against your own changes.
Verify the full journey
Try a valid input, an invalid input and a failed request. Inspect the output, download it and check that account data belongs to the signed-in user.
When a third-party service is involved, local checks are only one step. Verify the actual provider and production bindings before publishing the site.
Publish a real case
After the site is live, document its purpose, modules and custom code. Add its independent domain and an actual screenshot to the showcase. Record traffic or revenue only when the source, period and scope can be checked.
