How did you get your startup's idea? (JoS forum)
- alain94040 18y agoWhat a coincidence that Bob Walsh asks that question the same day I write a blog post on the exact same topic (http://blog.fairsoftware.net http://blog.fairsoftware.net - startups for software developers inspired by open source). Entrepreneurs, Bob is interviewing for his new book, so answer! In our case: brainstorming with a friend, analyzing pain and finding a way around it.

- andrewljohnson 18y agoI went hiking and backpacking over and over, and I kept trying to use the internet to plan trips and get maps, and it always sucked. It took hours, and the information was bogus, and the maps were expensive. So, I founded http://www.trailbehind.com http://www.trailbehind.com. And hopefully by next hiking season, I can use my own site to get trip reports, download GPS data, and print a map.
