Unified Data & Conversion Systems 🚀

v0.2 refines the template into a research-driven, conversion-focused foundation. Unified data structures, analytics, and product strategy make it easier for founders to validate ideas and move toward revenue fast.

Unified Data Structure

  • Consolidated all section data into a single, research-driven schema
  • Inspired by product ideation frameworks, sales landing psychology, and validation best practices
  • Guides founders through the right questions in the right order, while mapping seamlessly to section components

Product Model

  • Finalized four interconnected product types:
    • Primary Product — core validation tool
    • Magnet Product — free entry offer
    • Direct Revenue Product — immediate monetization option
    • Social Product — community/engagement driver
  • All supporting products link back to the primary to accelerate full-time founder paths

Conversion Systems

  • Added Umami Analytics for event tracking and funnel insights
  • Introduced banner CTA above navigation for persistent visibility
  • Implemented exit-intent modal as a last-chance call to action

Visual & UX Refinements

JUST LAUNCH IT!! 🚀🚀

You'll never get it perfect. The goal is to get it in front of real humans fast, learn, and iterate. I'm certainly releasing this WAY before I feel comfortable. But that's the point, growth happens in discomfort. Let's go!

My Motivation

For years, I confused being busy with making progress. I’d polish features, perfect designs, and ship “almost ready” products that never reached enough people to matter. Perfectionism became a socially acceptable way to avoid the one thing that actually creates value: getting the idea in front of real humans and learning fast.

I’ve been building businesses since I was 19 and I’m 32 now. I’ve also spent 6+ years as a full-stack developer. Across my own products and client work, I’ve seen the same trap: we build first, validate later (or never). That’s how ghost products happen—months of effort that no one touches.

This template is my antidote: a focus tool that forces the shortest path to evidence. Ship a simple landing page, share it to communities, track interest, and only then decide whether to invest. If you can pre-sell, do it. If not, collect real data from the people you want to serve and make an informed call on the MVP.

The goal isn’t to “build faster.” It’s to decide faster—with confidence—so you can either double down or walk away early without sunk costs.

Key Features

  • Landing page design + copy — opinionated structure with easy edit points
  • Tailwind Variants readyuseTV composable and theme/* directory (see IVideo for example usage)
  • Nuxt UI wrapper using IU prefix — ergonomic wrappers (e.g., components/ui/page/Columns is used as UIPageColumns instead of UPageColumns) for consistent layout
  • Minimal focused template — validation-first, no CMS/blog overhead
  • Showcase page — demo gallery of Nuxt UI components for quick reference
  • Theme / font pairing switcher — fast brand exploration
  • SVG-readyISVG component for scalable, consistent icons

Stack

  • Nuxt 4, Tailwind v4, Nuxt UI, TypeScript
  • Tailwind Variants for design tokens and extensible component APIs
