The app is called Cat on Chair.
When you start a focus session, a cute cat jumps up and sits with you while you work.
Unbelievable, right?
The idea wasn't revolutionary.
But what made it win was everything he brought to it:
His eye for design.
A niche he cared about.
A specific vibe he wanted to build.
In a world where you can vibe code AI slop in 1 minute, he chose to to hand-craft his app.
And I think that made all the difference.
But, my biggest takeaway, and the reason I keep coming back to this is:
You don't need a complicated idea.
You can take any simple, proven idea and ask one question:
What do I bring to this that nobody else can?
Maybe it's your design taste.
Maybe it's a niche you're obsessed with.
Maybe it's just something you've always wished existed in a very specific way.
There's a million things you can build.
But just remember: keep it simple, stupid :)
