Hacker News is a funny place. Few days ago I pointed out something similar - that first thing investors look at is how easily someone can eat your lunch? and got heavily downvoted.

These ideas are only bootstrappable, because nobody is going to put their money into it, apart from founders having a dream, but everyone else seeing that competitor can wipe them by just assigning a team to build that extra feature in their product.

Don't get me wrong - it doesn't mean you shouldn't do it. If you don't care much about money and value experience more, that is an extremely exciting journey to take oneself through and also sometimes dreams come true!
