That said, while I may not use this for my mission-critical data, I do think there's a lot of potential in using this as a headless CMS. I'm currently using Airtable, and its API limits make it unusable for anything apart from light workloads. Also, doesn't have webhooks.

But, if I can use BaseDash instead as my CMS and have my marketing team handle the data through a familiar interface, while design + dev source the data into Figma & a static site through an API respectively, I see myself paying for this.

Find a customer.

If you can find one customer who has a pain point that is strong enough for which they are willing to pay $$ and even tolerate a sub-standard product/service, you're probably on to something. This is also what PG advises [0].

I've been bootstrapping my startup, I landed a fairly well-known startup as a client which is helping a great deal. Delivering a good quality service gave me capital and credibility to now parlay for future business.

Aside from fake news, I can't help but wonder: what is the probability that the “generated” faces do not closely resemble people IRL?

An immediate use case that jumped to mind was DIY stock photos or even movies. But, with the above question still hanging, I'm not sure how comfortable I'd be using this.
