I am slightly biased tho. I think niches tend to take themselves too seriously, probably subconsciously, to create barriers to entry. Or maybe I'm jaded. But what I think is important is what tickles, not how you got there. And if you got there by some, less than purist ways, that just causes the dissonance that generates more creativity.

Thanks for the work!
