Would differentiate us in the market

Being second to market is actually an advantage — look at their reviews and support forums. Every complaint is your positioning opportunity.

A competitor copied PIDKill's keyboard shortcuts exactly. I doubled down on what they COULDN'T copy — community and direct support. Still winning.

Speed of shipping > being first. Ship faster, iterate on what they got wrong, and own a niche they're not targeting.
