This type of question comes up a lot. I can appreciate you are using the highly regarded problem / solution, vitamin not a painkiller approach to finding an idea, but STOP!
HN probably isn't a good place to start. We're not typical. For example: I want a tool to help me memorize new VIM commands...probably not a good business.
Start with a problem you care about...cause you'll be working very hard on it, for a long time, to turn it into a business. When you find a problem, seek some sort of confirmation. Then, build an mvp and see if folks will use it.
Good Luck
- bkyan 14y agoI totally agree that we're not typical, but that doesn't necessarily mean that we're a bad niche to go after. On average, this is a well-educated and wealthy group, although a lot of us are cheap bastards... (hi staunch!) ;-)

Appreciated this is a bit of a niche user base however was just testing the HN waters. Wanted to see if any common themes came up.
