Where do you find crappy products?
I believe improving existing products can be more controlled way to success if improvement is worth it. I want to start another project but this time I want to find existing products that are not good, analyze, make improvements and launch.
Do you think this is way to go?
And most importantly if you have such experience how to find this crappy products or some ideas how to start?
Trending on Indie Hackers
Hey @blacksheep13,
Check out https://www.failory.com. It's a site that highlights failed products and startups through the lens of the lessons the founders learned when creating each. :) Definitely a worthwhile site to bookmark!
I read it a lot. It's a great website
Awesome!
Chrome webstore. If you're looking for crappy products then CWS is the junkyard.
Chrome Extensions.
Find projects on sale: IndieMaker.co
look here on IH for Under $1k MRR projects that have been developed a while or not updated recently.
YC Startup School Forums might have some half developed products that can't get traction for one reason or another.
Great ideas. Never thought about them. Thanks
How are you defining a crappy product? Is it a product that's "bad," but has a lot of customers? That may be a bad product, but a good business.
Is it a product that's good, but not profitable? Is it a product that's old and not maintained? Is it something else? Depending on what you're looking for, there are probably different places to go hunting.
I should state more clearly you are right. I mean product that has users but doesn't provide good quality which reflects in bad reviews or users are mainly upset but still have no better place to go
Look at the 'newest' section of IndieHackers :) IMO it's around 50-50, 50% are good products, but 50% are really crappy (which is kinda expected, the founder still haven't iterated).
Just started lurking IH yes haha
review sites
Any specific in mind? I already checked quite few including ios and android appstores
