1- As a heuristic, find an existing successful product (for example invoicing, accounting, crm...) and tailor it to a smaller national market (for example France, Germany...) or to a specific niche (accounting for trainers, invoicing for plumbers...). That should give you a lot of ideas!
2- a tool to conduct online interviews. Right now when recruiting companies use a phone screening before flying the candidate in. By conducting an interview online, you can (for example) have him code the solution to a problem in real-time, how he thinks about it etc. So much more efficient than phone interviews, and a much better predictor for candidate quality.
3- a service to outsource video making for webapps. people making webapps often need demos of their products, but would rather not spend valuable time learning how to make a video, voiceover etc.
There would be a lot more. Ideas are a dime a dozen :-)
- uast23 15y agoTailoring it for a niche segment sounds like a feasible solution, or else it's a redo, isnt't it? 1. invoice - freshbooks, curdbee 2. online interviews - interviewstreet 3. video for webapps - can't recall the names, but I got more than 5 proposals for creating a demo for my site theaterex.com I understand that everything has a room for improvement, but the ground breaking ideas have far more value than we see
- SingAlong 15y agoI've seen http://demogirl.com http://demogirl.com do #3 (demo videos for apps) and #2 http://interviewstreet.com http://interviewstreet.com For #1, I can upvote you only once. I've been having this idea for a while now. Customized accounting app for a niche audience. That's going to be my next app once I finish my current one.
