Might not be your typical answer, but I launched an ecommerce store that’s been profitable since the first month. At first I targeted solo devs without much digital design skills, but it turns out that blank sketchpads are very useful to designers and design agencies as well. It’s done well enough where I continue to run out of each batch of inventory and it’s turned a small profit as I continue to order large and larger batches of product.

These are awesome. I’m a proposal manager, and I sketch out storyboards with pen and paper during the planning stage. Something like this with pages divided into 1/4ths and 1/8ths would be very helpful.


Have you thought of making browser sketchpads with the orientation flipped so it's closer to the horizontal rectangles of most computer monitors?


I love these. You should make whiteboard magnets!


That’s an interesting idea! I’ll look in to that


Wow, this is brilliant. So simple yet so useful. How do you plan to deal with competition? It seems like barriers to entry are low.


Linea App for iOS does this. If you have an iPad with an Apple Pencil it's awesome.


Brilliant. Best of luck to you.
