>To my mind an "x product" is rarely the framing that will lead to value being added for customers. E.g. a web3 product, an observability product, a machine vision product, an AI product. Like all decent startup ideas the obviously crucial thing is to start with a real user need rather than wanting to use an emerging technology and fit it to a problem. Developing a UI for a technology where expectations are inflated is not going to result in a user need being met. Instead, the best startups will naturally start by solving a real problem. That's basically Steve Jobs' advice: "One of the things I've always found is that you've got to start with the customer experience and work backwards to the technology. You can't start with the technology and try to figure out where you're going to try to sell it."
