I like the concept in general more than this implementation… it feels like this is a boutique form of a specific business report I see offered for sale occasionally while researching a new idea. There’s a little niche of business analysts who make a living selling “market opportunity” oriented versions of the more common “product/market analysis” reports you see floating around. The kind that list the companies either making the product or serving the market, and how much their estimated costs are by research into their consumables or best guess operations costs, staffing and average salaries, and estimates of potential profitability of sales figures are possible to gather. The niche of “opportunity” reports tends to take this format and focus less on the total profit or cost and more on the operating margins each company is likely working on, with a bigger emphasis on potential disruptions from related industries, known market trends and when appropriate customer demand and sentiment. I’m basing this off the few I have read and I’m by no means an expert in these reports since they usually try to sell them to you for several thousand dollars which, like I said, means I’ve read only a few of them in full. This feels like that kind of report… but without enough information and (currently at least) for pretty “trivial” problems that people have in aggregate. I personally don’t find it hard to browse reddit and see what people are bitching about. I could probably even automate it with some sentiment analysis and keyword extraction scripts if I really couldn’t find anything to spark a new idea… All of this is to say that the current implementation feels like the only things your going to suggest are low average revenue per customer/user bulk/aggregate user experience problems… what I wish for is more of a bounty board where sufficiently pissed off people can post their “demand” and flesh out the thing they want to see exist, others can “me too please” them so I can tell if it’s just one random person or not, and they and subsequent people can post a ballpark of what it’s worth to them… this isn’t the same as a freelance listing site… that’s a deliberate contract pipeline the people posting there have the money and already want to pay someone to make something… what Im thinking of is conceptually close, but where the relationship is “many to one”. The freelancers are in a “one to one” contract with the people posting the things that want built, where as this is a “many to one” opportunity where the makers/developers that look at the things people want and think to themselves “I could do that”, have the opportunity to sell their work to the people that stood up and said “hey I want this but I can’t make it, I’d any else does I’d totally pay for it”. But that’s just me wanting a cool idea source and a sales lead generator to hop in the blender and make me a delicious new way to find places to earn money… I’m sure you’ve got a longer term product vision and if this is where it’s starting, it looks like it’s off to a good start, just not going the direction I personally wish.
