Which niche online businesses would you love to own?


I'm looking for inspiration:

Have you had your eye on a small website or piece of software delivered online, delivered seamlessly online (e.g. no sales team or implementation) that is just a great business but it's so good the owner won't sell?

My example is BuiltWith.

What is yours?

This question sounds like it was asked by a private equity investor looking to sample the tech zeitgeist before buying up and destroying some beloved tool.

Simple micro apps I guess which serve a very specific but important pain point IMHO.

Todoist is a a good example, so is an app called Focus To-Do (the one with orange logo)

Some online obituary websites that people with the right credential can join a "group" setup by the family and share thoughts and even photos.

Privacy could be the worst enemy, though.

I would love to have my own service and technology to localise videos by using AI. All startups in that niche are growing so fast.

Maybe something low effort and ironic like you'd find on a web ring, but even less effort.
