Python CI pipelines get slower as codebases grow, wasting dev time. A linter that only analyzes changed files could slash lint times.
Build a Flake8 plugin that tracks git changes and skips unchanged files. Integrate directly into existing CI workflows.
Python dev teams would pay for faster builds, especially on monorepos. Sell via GitHub Sponsors or a per-month SaaS.
Start with a basic Flake8 wrapper that implements file change detection. Later add caching and CI integrations.
The risk is competing with mature linters. Focus on speed, not features, to differentiate.
