I Keep Wishing There Was A "knowledge Base For Product Thinking" So I Prototyped One - Trying To Figure Out If This Has Actually Business Potential Or Just Me Scratching An Itch. I Will Not Promote

Hey all - I've been a PM for a while and one thing that's never stopped bugging me is how scattered product knowledge is. Every framework, mental model, and methodology lives in a different book, podcast, blog post, or someone's conference talk from 2019.

And yeah, you can ask ChatGPT/Claude (or even google it), but you get a generic summary with no depth, no connected thinking, and no real intuitive way to go deeper when you actually need to apply something.

So I've been prototyping a product that, in theory, solves this by connecting all of that knowledge into one place.

The idea is simple: take all the key product knowledge - the people, frameworks, concepts, and books - and organise it into something you can actually navigate and explore. Every node connects to related ideas, and you can control the depth - 2-minute overview if you're in a meeting, 10-minute working knowledge if you're applying it, or full deep-dive if you're genuinely trying to learn.

You can also listen to any of it like a podcast, which I personally wanted because I do a lot of learning on the move.

I've got an interactive prototype if anyone is interested, happy to send it over.

It's rough, and it's early. I'm not launching anything yet - I'm trying to figure out if this is something worth building properly, or if it's just me overfitting to my own experience.

A few things I'd love your HONEST perspective on:

• Does this feel like a real problem worth solving, or a niche annoyance?
• Does this feel like something that could become a business, or more of a “nice to have” free tool?
• How would you expect something like this to be different from just using AI?

Any other thoughts (good or bad) are very welcome - I’m trying to pressure test this idea properly before going any further.
