I’ve been wanting to do this for years but I’m still trying to figure out how to get started.
My skills are more in algorithm development (statistical signal processing, machine learning) and electronics than web coding though, so it’s probably not as easy as just making a simple website that does something slightly useful.

- acuozzo 2y agoI'm in the same boat, but my domain is embedded programming. I recently ran across advice here to just copy an existing successful idea and compete on e.g., price, rather than wasting time trying to come up with something novel / innovative. The argument is that if the idea is successful, then most of the market legwork has been done for you already. I'm considering entertaining it. I last seriously did WWW-related work in 2001 or so, but Python with FastAPI + HTMX + Bulma CSS looks easy enough to spin-up on and maps pretty well to my now-ancient understanding of the web.
- roger_ 2y agoI’ve done simple one off web stuff over the years and yeah it seems much more straightforward nowadays. Copying and undercutting someone else is certainly easier!
- avgDev 2y agoUnless you are trying to develop something ground breaking, web isn't terribly difficult if you have programming experience. Yes, there will be some new things to grasp. However, tooling is pretty great today and if you pick up a known framework most problems are already solved. You will just fit the pipes together to do what you want.
