Side-project ideas with receipts.

E-commerce founders and market researchers struggle to identify which products actually sell on competitor Shopify stores, resorting to manual URL tricks like appending sort parameters to collection pages. One founder shared a bookmarklet script just to one-click sort any store by best-selling, showing how underserved this workflow is. Existing research is slow, manual, and gives no historical or cross-store view.

AI-driven traffic to Shopify stores is reportedly up 8x year-over-year with AI-search orders up ~13x, yet most product catalogs aren't optimized for AI agents to read and purchase. Store owners also face generic AI-generated product copy that fails to convert human buyers. Merchants have no tooling to audit or fix their agent-readiness.
