You need an app to solve a problem. Where do you find it?

Best
Search engine (not Google, as it mines our data) and then would look in the App Store
@paroma true, I use duckduckgo personally. But I am building a website to serve as a repository of apps recommendations - and respective articles on Medium to justify why they are the best choice
@shakks I have found some of the best things here too! Especially using Top Products by @mert_batmazoglu
@abadesi yeah, I understand I lay it out in a general way, but it could really be anything. A service that integrates with your website, an app that helps you manage your day/tasks, a browser extension that helps you increase your productivity and avoid getting sucked into distractions. Anything at all :)
@zavhoz still, a keyword will only find you the kinds of apps you want. Then you just download the most popular one and hope it is the best for your specific problem?
I guess the thing with users is you might not start out looking for an app specifically, you're just looking for ways to solve your problem...
It might be a different approach, or doing something differently with what you already have. Occasionally it's an app that happens to be suitable, where discovery is often backed by context, eg. a well written article.
Most of the time I google the issue or keywords of a potential solution to the issue, and then check the comments of reddit posts and products featured on product hunt, for potential apps.
