I work for an IT Services provider as a Level II technician and I am in charge of providing a certain service to our clients on a daily basis. To administer this service I have to take time out of my normal routine of working tickets and sometimes I find it hard to find the time to do that. My app would make administering this service easier for me, but it would also allow me to pass the duties down to a Level I tech who isn't as busy with working tickets. There's not a product on the market that does this and I believe that the market is huge as far as IT Services providers goes.
Writing this app is all I can think about. I think about it before I go to sleep every night, I think about it in the shower, I think about it all day at work. I don't think it'll make me rich, but that's really not my goal anyways. It's more about contributing to the industry that I work in to make life easier for techs like myself.
I sort of agree with your thoughts on hiring developers, but I have to believe that this isn't the case with all developers. I think it's possible to find a developer to work with me instead of for me and in that case I think they'd play a key role in the discovery of the product.

I think it's possible to find a developer to work with me instead of for me and in that case I think they'd play a key role in the discovery of the product." Very true. And that's key - to find a developer who shares your vision and passion. You might want to consider picking up a copy of Balsamiq Mockups (<a href="http://balsamiq.com/products/mockups>Link</a> http://balsamiq.com/products/mockups>Link</a>). You can quickly start mocking up the UI. You can even make it clickable and export one as a PDF (still clickable). Having a mockup will allow for you to add to and take away from the UI. It would also come in handy when you're ready to pass work to a developer. Having trouble finding tech savvy folks in Waco? Start a networking group, something akin to <a href="http://refreshingcities.com/>Refresh</a> http://refreshingcities.com/>Refresh</a>.
- jrsmith1279 16y agoThanks for the advice on using refreshingcities.com, I hadn't seen that before. I've been meaning to look at balsamiq since it's recommended quite a bit. I'll take a look at it today.
