The Problem

Home lab builders waste countless hours researching incompatible hardware and software combinations, risking expensive mistakes. They lack a centralized tool to validate that their Proxmox/Unraid/ZFS setup will actually support their specific needs for Jellyfin, Nextcloud, and self-hosted services while staying within budget and power constraints.

Potential Solution

A SaaS platform that generates validated, compatible build plans based on your exact use case, budget, and constraints. It simulates performance, checks hardware/software compatibility, provides future-proofing guidance, and offers one-click deployment templates for common stacks like Jellyfin+Nextcloud+Tailscale.

Why Now?

The self-hosting movement is exploding (privacy concerns, cloud costs), but hardware options have multiplied exponentially with new low-power CPUs and NAS appliances. The complexity gap between beginner needs and expert knowledge has never been wider, creating urgent demand for intelligent planning tools.
