I'm curious -- what about this strikes you as a novel "opportunity?" To me, reading your post is a bit like seeing someone say "wow, a chair! Why didn't I build that? I wonder if there are more opportunities?" Like, yeah, build a table... or a different chair...?
I built an online flight log analyzer about 10 years ago ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8XBCBC2oJ70 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8XBCBC2oJ70 , https://github.com/foobarbecue/afterflight https://github.com/foobarbecue/afterflight ) . When DJI hit the scene I used some a DJI log decoder someone else wrote to get my Phantom logs into the system, but never integrated the converter with the website.
Good ideas are a dime a dozen. It's the execution and the follow-through that matters.
- MrGilbert 3y agoI think you are right. Somehow, in my mind, I'd like to find a niche where I can start building something (software-related). Something that is of use, and which solves a problem people are willing to pay for. Not a "get rich in two months"-scheme, but something sustainable. I have no problem with commitments, but it’s the problem to solve that I'm currently lacking. Apparently, this tool does it. I think there are not many tools like that on the market (I might be wrong).
- dylan604 3y agoAs is often heard, necessity is the mother of invention. Most of these niche ideas come from people that are active in whatever space the nice product serves and yet has no product. It takes the timing of someone with the need && the know-how of how to make the product. Just having the need for a product part of the equation. Having someone recognize what the solution would be, the time available to create that solution, and an overall understanding if the effort would be worth it all aligning.
