Do you build a side project to solve your own problem or an ideas you enjoy?
Or there some frameworks you follow?
Would love to know your process of ideation for side projects!

I like to focus on small wins.
In short, creating something that I'm already capable of and that I can start and finish fast.
So I usually use my knowledge, interests, and complexity of the idea as a constraint for ideation.
From there I either try to solve a problem from a group/community I'm already part of (like board gamers for example) or my own problems.

@robertomorais Small wins is important to keep the momentum. Thanks for sharing your experience 😊
It has to be a mix.
My strategy would be to understand multiple niches better and have a 10000 feet level of understanding on the ecosystem. That also led me into writing at Micro SaaS Ideas - microsaasidea.com and also build a closed community at Micro SaaS HQ microsaashq.com while I build my own other projects.
@gayatri_taley My other SaaS projects are independent of the newsletter and community. However my ZeroToFounder.com is connected to the Newsletter and community.
Hey Gayatri! Ideation is hard and that's what we're helping to solve. I would love to invite you to check out G&E https://geeksandexperts.com to see if you can get more insights on the idea validation and MVP options.

I build to solve for myself and that usually expands and then more ideas come from that as well.
