I faced the problem myself. Couldn’t find a solution. So created one. Should have validated it first. But luckily after creating the MVP I was fortunate to see people really wanted to test the solution. How about you?

Feed my brain with reading, browsing the internet and social media. The best way to come up with ideas is to consume ideas.

@geri_mate insightful! Thanks for sharing man! Will try that out and see how it helps our current project we are working on.

Intensive market research, studying new industry trends, consumer behavior, and potential opportunities to explore

By looking at unfiltered conversations on forums like Reddit and creating a product around it. The product also has to interest me otherwise i lose motivation to carry on.

Yes and here are my processes ✅ 1. Pen and paper and brainstorm 🎯 2. Research, test, consolidate and make it happen💙 3. Get inspired, take parts from here and there, glue them and innovate 💚

Instead of keeping a list of ideas keep a list of problems. Then u will be building that the world needs not what feel it wants.

I research trends and gaps, brainstorm solo or with others to foster creativity, and collaborate with my team and stakeholders for diverse perspectives. I also use tools like WorkBot to organize and reference past resources for shaping future projects.
They are usually random issues that I happen to come by when talking to people. You just sit there and go, “wouldn’t it be nice if….”

I try to identify a problem and see if I can create a solution from there. I always try to work on something that I'm struggling with, so that I'm able to emphasize with the situation and also have a perception of what solves my problem.

Since I write lots of code, typically for me I find areas where I don't feel super productive. Some of those areas are interesting and fun, and I add them to a list of ideas. If/when I have time and motivation, i'll take a stab at open sourcing a library to help solve the problem.

Identify a problem or challenge you or others face, then brainstorm potential solutions. Projects often stem from addressing real-world issues.

@flora_diep How do you validate this problem you identify?

I find inspiration for my projects from a variety of sources. I constantly keep my eyes and ears open for emerging trends, user needs, and technological advancements. I also love to brainstorm with my team and bounce ideas off of each other to spark creativity. Additionally, I make it a point to stay connected with the community and gather feedback and suggestions from users. Ultimately, the key is to stay curious, open-minded, and always on the lookout for innovative solutions to create impactful projects.

@cloodoworkspace Can you elaborate a bit?
Drew_Quinn
@rhexai for each clients that have reach out to our team that we converted them into a projects and all of the clients request we imply it as milestone for each stage. Employees or team members can add tasks to deal with the project itself!

Choose your industry (probably one that you’ve been working for a while/have expertise in/have passion about) - look for pain points, talk to customers, do competitive research and general market research, identify gaps and there you go - you got yourself solid ideas and now go validate them and proceed to build!

Start with a problem or pain point and talk to the people who experience it deeply - they'll be your guide

My co-founder and I came up with the idea for our current startup from our previous work experiences. Requesting data pulls and dashboards always takes weeks in the large orgs we worked for, and the BI tools are rarely fully self-service. We thought this problem could be tackled by the combination of AI-generated SQL codes and a next-gen user experience BI platform, and that's how Brewit was born!
