Study an industry. Be involved with it. In depth. Pain points are discovered during research more than they are just handed to you.

- davidjnelson 14y agoThanks. How do you get involved in an industry?
- merinid 14y agoIf you want to build an app for traders, start trading yourself. If you want to build an app for mass email campaigns, look for web marketing work to pay for some R and D. Approach things practically, keeping the theory to a minimum (though it's vital too). Really ask yourself who you have access to (friends, colleagues) and what you are passionate about. Chances are that's the domain your best ideas will apply to.
- davidjnelson 14y agoThis is good advice, thanks. I've been doing this.
- ScottWhigham 14y agoThanks. How do you get involved in an industry? I was totally with you up until this question. This is such an absurd question. It's either your being lazy, your being stupid, or you being a troll. I don't know which but I'm convinced it's at least one of the three.
