Ask HN: What are some problems you have that you'd like people to solve?

1 pointjjets7183 comments

I'm learning how to code in rails, and am getting ready to release my first web application. After I'm finished with my first web app, I'll be looking to create new applications, and I'm interested in hearing about problems people have that would they would be willing to pay for solutions that are valuable. Please let me know your thoughts!

Unfortunately, that's the million dollar question. All start-ups try to ask the same thing to launch a product that is actually needed.

Most people these days don't know what they want or need through an online application. The difficulty of online applications is you have to make the person realize how useful an application is, and why they should continue to use it.

I don't really have any ideas for you, sorry. If I did, I'd have made them a long time ago :-/

No worries, and thanks for your comment! I'm hoping that a couple of people will respond with ideas!

"What people would be willing to use" seems like a more fertile approach. Open your eyes and spot repetitive, boring task that one has to deal with on a regular basis !

If you have users, everything else with follow. Good luck !
