A free, crowd-powered platform to find problems for startups worth solving

So, I had this idea for a while now, but some recent posts on Reddit
inspired me to actually make it.

I named it "1001 Problems" in reference to the old collection of folk tales "One thousand and one nights", as I think with time it can as great a collection of problems worth so

    the only problem that is strongly discussed on the site is that you need great site improvements :))

    I was looking for something like that just a little while ago. Keep going :)

    great job Arne, do you mind if a post it to some of the startup communities here in oz?

    also what did you use for the charting? very nice design! what's it built in? these questions because I'm a late convert to code (business background) and love to learn how people craft their projects.

      thanks man!

      if you would post it to some communities that would be super cool! I would love to see it being helpful for people!

      i built it with react and for the UI i used react-material-ui, backend firebase, but if more people use it i will rewrite it with elixir/phoenix.

      For the charts i used react-pie3d (3d pie charts), which uses d3js.

      If you have more questions go ahead, i love talk techstack etc :D

    Interesting concept :). But even after you discover a problem, you should research it by talking to potential customers and see if they too feel this is a pain for them.

      yeah, ive been thinking how i could integrate this aspect to the platform!
