Hey :)
I wish I had a process, it's mostly just looking at problems / domains that normally you would not use technology for - and then thinking how it could be solved with technology.. Problem domains like "communication" have obvious technology answers, but problems like "loneliness" are much more interesting to explore (and mostly unsolved!).
That is pretty vague, but I have built side projects / businesses that failed because I started the other way around (focusing too much on how you would solve it using tech, instead of first picking the right problem).
A few of these ideas I would love to explore one day, but the problem is the limited time and resources one has. So instead I'm hopeful at least one indie hacker will one day be inspired by the list of ideas and build it out (or some twist on it) :)
Hi @Guido,
This is cool that you are building this newsletter.
How do you find ideas? Do you have a process? A way of gathering them?
I am interested in the process as we started a newsletter about creativity and I am always interested to learn more about how people generate ideas.
