I advise anyone with a startup idea to just make a prototype you would like, then see if its reinventing the wheel. Repeat where necessary

Better yet, let customers decide if it’s reinventing the wheel. Many times, founders prematurely decide it’s duplicative, or delude themselves into thinking it’s not.

We all guess at the value customers receive, but only they can say for sure.

Totally agree, manage risk where necessary such that you don't rely on a project getting traction. If it does, great.
