Ask HN: how good my idea is?
I wrote this post, because I'm currently considering the idea to work on in the following few months. And even though I know ideas don't cost a thing, I still think it's important to choose the best one and I can't be as motivated by just developing process. I want to see a real way to make money with the idea.
So, secrecy is not an issue with me now. And, anyway, I'm in Russia and even if you decide to implement something similar I could always concentrate on the local market.
To make this valuable not just to me, I would like to ask everyone who has an idea that needs to be assessed more or less objective, to post it here. Mine will be in the first comment.
- snitko 18y agoI want to implement a sort of CRM (Customer Relationship Management) web-based application, that is targeted for small businesses (small clinics, fitness centers, motels, restaurants etc). The feature list is simple: 1. Adding/Removing customers and info on them. 2. Creating events for customers and employees and tracking these events. 3. Sending reminders for these events via SMS or email. 4. An easy web-interface for customers, which allows them to reschedule or cancel the event. The subscription would be free for managing ~20 clients and, I guess, starting from $10 when you want to track more than 20. Now I know about 37signals' 'Highrise' but it seemed to me more contact-oriented and much less client-oriented: good for business where you speak a lot to your clients and remember them better, but not good enough for mass-clients world. So, what do you think about it? Is it worth working on? Do you think people will pay for it? Would also be nice to listen to someone from Russia, if there's anyone here.
- poppysan 18y agoI think it's not a new idea, but who cares! But yeah... its not a new idea, or even a twist on an idea. Its your basic crm software. But that shouldn't deter you... If you think you have something to add to that space then do it!
