Hey /smallbusiness Crew,

Hope everyone’s doing good! 👋 I’m reaching out because I’m diving into a new project and I need your help to make it impactful. I’m all about creating software that solves real problems, and I figured who better to ask than the pros in this community!

I am hoping to learn more about what bugs you, what grinds your gears, and what you wish was smoother in your business. Your everyday challenges are the gold nuggets that could spark something great.

Mind sharing:

  1. What’s the trickiest part of your business/industry right now?
  2. Any annoying problems you think a smart solution could tackle?
  3. If you could wave a magic wand, what features or fixes would you add to your tools or processes?

Your stories, rants, and even the tiniest pet peeves – I want to hear it all. Your experiences shape the real deal, and I’m on a mission to make something that genuinely helps.

Thanks for your time and consideration!

Cheers!

    In my experience it’s always a bad idea to ask the user what their problem is or what they really need in order to get rid of the struggle or simply what the solution is. Instead find a sector you’d like to be part of and observe as much as possible. User simply have no idea how much you can automate and get rid of the daily pain in their business/jobs. While I was working in IT, I always walked around in the office and observe from different departments as much as possible. I haven’t found the million dollar idea yet but the niche I found and I work in simply put food on the table, pays the bills and gives me much time to do whatever I desire. People on the comment section are irritated because this is the easy and lousy way (no offense) to observe what their struggles are and they are fed up with the same question being asked all the time. I hope this would help and good luck.
