Hey indie-hackers! đź‘‹
We’ve been constantly told that “ideas are cheap, execution is everything.” Although there are so many resources teaching execution but not that much teaching ideas generation 💡
I recently became fascinated by this gap and started building frameworks for makers like all of us here helping to find problems to solve / products to build.
While I'm still working on the frameworks, I open-sourced my own list of product ideas. I'd be curious to see if makers are even interested in new ideas — the end result of such frameworks.
Feel free to use them as is or as an inspiration for your own projects! đź’Ž
All good ideas. A few comments:
1/ "eCommerce: Calculate a product’s overall cost through its life span" - I actually think more about how I am going to dispose of the item, how much effort/time/money it is going cost rather than the purchase price tag. I guess more people are going to move into that direction as Climate Change is becoming more present in every day life.
2/ "Analyze the ethical credentials of banks and pension funds" - There are some 401k products Today which will do a deep analysis of their portfolio and their supply chain to guarantee investment in sustainable projects.
3/ "Produce a public calendar of product launches" That is definitely important, especially when you are in an industry like Video Games. I guess the calendar has to be tied to personas and marketing research because your latest Video Game launching at the same time as the latest Taylor Swift album might or might not be important to connect with your audience.
Really good points!
Thank you!
