Look for what’s next in tech trends and focus there. Mobile apps were something special 5-6 years ago, now it’s just a commodity. You’ll do much better living closer to the edge than app dev unless you have something special to offer.
- noitsnot 8y agoI'm curious what's new in tech trends and not oversaturated? Alexa, Google type voice apps, VR?
- langitbiru 8y agoMobile app with AR capability and/or AI capability.
- saintPirelli 8y agoI feel like AI just re-solves a lot of things that are already solved. In the tech bubble it sounds way better than to the actual consumer. If the consumer has a to-do list app he is happy with, how will you convince him/her that s/he needs AI in there?
- verelo 8y agoI'd think that VR and AR have possibilities, they're interesting technologies that no one has really landed an amazing use case for. I like to think of it as "Technology innovations enable industry creation", so look for what the new technologies are, and what industries they might create or revolutionize. Sadly thats the hard part, and if i knew the answer i probably wouldn't share it.
- cageface 8y agoI agree that mobile apps are old news now but most of the emerging hot areas (AI, AR etc) are tough areas for small teams to compete in. The smartest thing to do IMO is acquire some domain expertise in a big but unglamorous business sector and look for pain points.
- manmal 8y agoTo me, the most promising currently are wearables and XR (VR, AR,...). Chatbots seem to be dying, and AI/deep learning are kind of hard for individuals to offer services for, or to make a product of.
