Yo! Pretty busy this week, sorry for not being about. Wanted to gift you something to get started though. I was thinking more about the challenge and… I’m making it as easy as possible for you to get started so you have literally no excuse not to put something out next week.
Repo template:
Here’s mine:
It took one evening, and I’ve got a whole load of supporting docs to go with it:
There’s about 100,000 monthly brand search volume for AnswerThePublic, and no other Answer The Public Apify Actor exists. So I’m pretty confident that if I start ranking, I should see users come in — and until then, I can buy paid traffic.
Sometimes all you have to do is be in the right place at the right time. This might seem like too much effort, and you might worry about doing something that might not see any gains, but…
Earlier this year I posted one sentence in reply to a thread on a Cursor forum. Someone asked: “Where can I hire developers that are well-versed in Cursor and move fast?” I replied with something like, “Probably on this forum,” and dropped my GitHub. That led to a $30,000 USD contract two or three months later, for a Techstars alumni project with an absolute legend of a client.
So go do it. Post it here. DM me if you have questions.. or better yet, post them in the comments so we can all help each other and answer them. If you really don't feel like you can code or you're getting stuck with it, I invite you to help me market mine and improve it or choose another Actor target, I will help you build it and we will market it together as a group. In?
This is a new skill you can pick up using Claude code, using Cursor, using the JavaScript you already know. I’ve put everything together so all you have to do is fork the repo and get cracking.
PS. I keep promising to do videos and not doing them, but I will do a video for this one because I think it's important. I also want you to share this with anyone who keep saying they want to do something but find it too difficult.
