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.

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?

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.

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

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

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.
One of my go-to strategies is maintaining a constant feedback loop with users.
Understanding their pain points and needs often triggers innovative solutions.

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?
izTalk
@rhexai Good question. Validating a problem you've identified is crucial before investing time and resources into solving it. You can:
Research and Data Analysis: Conduct thorough research to gather data supporting the existence and scope of the problem. Look for statistics, reports, surveys, or studies that highlight the issue. Analyze trends, patterns, and real-life examples that demonstrate the problem.
User Interviews and Surveys: Engage with potential users or those affected by the problem. Conduct interviews or surveys to understand their experiences, pain points, and how the problem impacts them. Gather qualitative feedback to validate the significance and urgency of the issue.
By employing these validation methods, you can gather evidence and insights to ensure the problem you've identified is genuine, impactful, and warrants a solution.
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!
Market Research: Analyze market trends, consumer behavior, and industry gaps to identify potential opportunities.

@razayousaf Way to go!
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.
