At the risk of sounding like a jerk, you're asking the wrong people. This is a community of builders, you need to ask the users (or potential users). Go interview small business owners in your area. Call up companies and ask to talk to the office manager. Let them know that you're interested in building something that will solve a problem of theirs so that you can sell it to other small businesses, but that you're not trying to sell them something, you just need their help in identifying painful problems that nobody else is solving.
- noodle 16y agoi partly agree. on the one hand, we're all builders and could take good ideas and run with them. on the other, we're also thinkers. i have more ideas than i could ever find the time to build, and are usually at least mostly busy with our own best ideas
- dabent 16y agoIt's true, we are just a small subset of people who need things built to solve problems. But we also do have problems to solve, which is why companies like GitHub exist. If building tools to solve software development problems is something you can get excited about, go build those tools. But don't ignore the sea of possibilities outside our world.
- canadaduane 16y agoWe are also a community of fast adopters, and this is one reason we are a good group to build things for.
- AlexMuir 16y agoPeople here understand what's possible. They are aware when something is sub-optimal. If I go and ask the majority of people on the street they won't even know they have a problem.
