Mauro333··on I built my first website
After years of wasting my time of becoming a lawyer I just launched my first basic web application and I would love to get feedback from experts like you guys.

You can probably see in my user history here that I have been dreaming of becoming an entrepreneur for years so I excited that this is a funny first step.

I am building the iOS version as we speak.

Be as critical as possible thank you :)

What do you guys think? My initial thought is that it sounds like a moronic idea. A lot of countries near the equator could offer better prices - French Guiana or rest of South America.

I strongly disagree. People will for sure talk about Facebook or Twitter in a century from now. Besides - I truly believe a business is the greatest way of changing the world, not activism. Also, why not both? George Soros (Regardless of your opinion of him) is changing the world by getting the wealth AND THEN doing activism. Being the one fulfilling his orders does not sound fun or interesting - being the one in charge (Soros) sounds fun and interesting.

Thank you for your reply Robocat!

My motivation is not financial but rather adding something historic and positive to the world. My time on this earth is limited. A company can outlive it's founders. I could care less about status or wealth, I got a good degree and will probably find a stable job in a law office in a few years - for what? I enjoy the thrill of taking chances and learning from mistakes. What is a full bank account worth if you won't use it? Some people my age buy cars etc but again - that seems very bland.

I live by the motto of collecting things that can't be taken away from me - that is what I have in my brain. Take all the wealth away from Elon or Jeff Bezos and they'd be billionaires in no time again. How? Experience.

100x6 months = 50 years and then you die. Life is short. Why should I spend the little time I have working on another mans dream? We have a danish saying that "Things comes together in a higher unity" aka life is like a huge puzzle game.

TLDR: Don't be a career. Life is not evolution. You don’t go step 1 -> 2 -> 3 and so on. You can go from step 3-> step 67.

Ask the girl. Shoot the shot. Launch the business. Run the ad. Quit the job. Take the risk.

That was nicely put - thank you Dang. I couldn't agree more with what you are writing. I always tell myself if I want to solve a problem it should primarily be a problem I face myself. The question becomes what problems do I need solved? Life as a 23 year old university student is so convenient already.

Potential minor problems I would want solved: 1. When I have very interesting discussions with someone I wish I had it recorded so I could post/share it online. I am thinking just daily stuff without having to sit in a room together and do a podcast. This can KINDA be solved by livestreaming nonstop but that's far from ideal and does not have mass appeal.

2. A more modern way of finding jobs - I really believe there's a lot of improvements to be made here esp in Denmark. We use Jobindex, LinkedIn and Jobteaser primarily and all services seem ineffective. Probably just a university student problem. Regardless, it does not sound like an interesting problem to solve like the other ones I mentioned above.

3. Speeddating. I don't struggle with going on dates or picking up girls IRL but it would be more fun if you could just click "QUEUE" on your phone and it automatically sets up a blind date - maybe this actually exists already? Sounds so fun.

I am very thankful for your reply sir. About the problem - I don't necessarily have a specific problem I want to solve besides the fact I want to run a software/website company´and try to make customers as happy as possible. I don't care about the money. My mission is really to recreate that feeling of trying a new software and incooperating it into your life. Platforms I idealize and wish I was the creator of would be the likes of Reddit, Tinder, Substack, X, Tumbler or Letterboxd.
