Many developers are stuck maintaining legacy JavaScript codebases that don't use modern language features. Manual updates are time-consuming. Create a toolkit that analyzes JavaScript code and suggests modern equivalents for outdated patterns. Include automated refactoring options. Sell to development teams with legacy codebases. Charge based on the size of codebases processed. Start with a simple CLI tool that identifies common legacy patterns. Gradually add automated refactoring capabilities. The biggest risk is breaking existing functionality. Start with non-critical transformations and expand cautiously.
