Show HN: Needgap, Validate your problems to create products which people want
- Abishek_Muthian 6y agoProblems are tangible, it's something people have now unlike a startup idea which materializes only when the problem is solved and if there's enough need gap for the problem to be solved. But more often than not, Finding those who have the problem is the biggest hurdle in validating a problem. That's what lead to the creation of needgap, a problem validation platform. I'm not telling people will flock to validate our problem as soon as we post it on needgap. But I have worked hard for nearly two years to create a platform which offers a credible way to validate problems and to build products which people want. Some of the ways needgap does that, • Enforcing strict distinction between problems and startup ideas. New posts are only for problems. Startup ideas, solutions to solve problems goes into comments. • People search the web with their problems as query and not our cool, yet to be a startup 'name'; They have better chances of reaching needgap than a new landing page. • Existing solutions for the problem can be tracked and need gaps in them understood by interacting with those who use them/ built them. • Lifetime of a post at needgap is very high, as long as there is a need gap there exists a need for a solution. Unlike say a social media with limited attention. • Minimalist HN -esque UI ensures distraction-free communication experience. • Individual problems can be subscribed to keep track of those who need it, existing solutions and future competitors.
