Maybe I'm reading your question wrong, however:
Reverse engineering someone else's work for profit seems lazy, asking help deciding who to rip-off seems extremely lazy.
Have you considered doing something interesting/useful with your life?
- rayluxem 7y agoMaybe I should have explained better. I am not looking for some original ideas to copy. More like some common service where there is a lot of competition anyway. Besides, you can bring a service to a local market or provide a better experience more features and so on. Just looking for a base. I see your point of view well but considering that you see duplicates of the same thing all over the place is real there is no shame in starting as a copy and becoming better.
- jascii 7y agoFair enough :D When I lived in China, I inadvertently ended up running a VPN service. It started because I needed a connection out of China myself and ended up getting more and more customers because I was proactively keeping the connections across the great firewall alive. I guess a VPN service would qualify: easy to start, already quite a bit of competition, up to you how you'll set yourself apart from said competition ;) Good luck!
- rayluxem 7y agoI have been thinking about it lately, though I didn't look up the whole infrastructure of how VPN works in detail. It seems like a solid idea with proper user experience and good resource management it can be very profitable.
