Where the opening is

  • Beginner / simplicity positioning is common — room for advanced niche? (19/55 descriptions)

What to do next

  1. Coverage is partial — treat the score as directional; confirm with Timeline + live store search.
  2. Study top charting rivals — what they ship well and what listings leave weak.
  3. Hunt for stale or single-version apps as a maintenance wedge.
  4. Narrow to a sharper sub-niche under “cooking” before committing.
  5. Compare store pages for: Goblin Tools, Sea of Stars, Slice out! : Color Sort Puzzle.
