Ask HN: How do you come up with ideas for side projects
What’s your thought process of coming up ideas and executing them.
Lastly how do you turn them into profitable business
- media-trivial 5y ago> What’s your thought process of coming up ideas and executing them. Usually the come up naturally: I have a need and can't find any product satisfying that need. > Lastly how do you turn them into profitable business I don't (need to). I have a well paid job and publish side projects as open source (if they get far enough). Are you looking for some kind of business advice?
- disadvantage 5y agoI made an effort not to hoard any code I've written for myself. If it helps at least two people (including myself), then I've done my job. In terms of monetizing, I try not to have money as the main objective, but if I can bake in business logic like Patreon, Github Sponsors, Liberapay, etc then I will try that if the project takes off in a big way.
