Not even close. I work in German immigration. There are SaaS opportunities left and right. The same is true in every niche. Developers just tend to look at what's immediately around them, and not at all the industries that are chronically underserved by tech.
- weare138 2y agoExactly. It's not that SaaS is 'dead', the SaaS hype-cycle has passed it's peak and all the low hanging fruit has been snatched up already. You need solutions to actual problems to succeed now not just clever ideas.
- robertlagrant 2y agoThey all solve actual problems.
- bdcravens 2y agoThere are apps that are solutions in search of a problem. They may be great solutions, but they're just not solving pain points that anyone wants to pay for.
- red-iron-pine 2y agoGerman everything is chrnonically underserved because the Germans refuse to automate anything. I had to do residence and immigration documents in triplicate with old school carbon copy forms and show up to multiple appts in person. Meanwhile, I can renew my WA drivers license online from a different country.
- zufallsheld 2y ago>×German everything is chrnonically underserved because the Germans refuse to automate anything. That's not true. We're just not the fastest in changing processes.
- nicbou 2y agoThis is a bit of an understatement. Germans are both actively hostile to changing processes, and eager to add layers of process to every imaginable thing. The result is a growing bureaucracy with no matching effort in efficiency or digitalisation.
- asdev 2y agoyeah but I can't build anything for them without the domain expertise in German immigration or some other domain. too far removed from the problem
- nicbou 2y agoThat's why those problems are still up for grabs. All the software developers are writing a new todo list app or some sort of developer tools.
