I am thinking where everywhere could be implemented software as solution. For example agriculture, ecology, catering sport, etc. I don't mind apps like ranking restaurants, sport events scheduling, etc. I am looking for areas and ideas where solution has added value for people from field.<p>Have you any experiences from projects where software has been solution for certain issues within "not-so-famous" area for (startup) software engineers? I don't need to build startup with VC.
Local government. There's a world of opportunity that exists at the intersection of municipal politics and public outreach-even if it means using existing services and platforms to do things like publishing City Council Meetings to YouTube.<p>I'm watching my local town do this right now with the aid of a friend. I asked him "Why not just hire an intern or borrow a paralegal from the county solicitor's office?" and he schooled me on how he's delivering more than just a pair of hands to upload content but actually building a whole communications platform.<p>I was rather enthralled with the concept until he called himself a "social media mercenary", then I just rolled my eyes and had another beer :P<p>Joking aside, government in small towns I am noticing are slowly waking up to the need for tech-or can easily be convinced to bring in startup-type tools and procedures for public facing endeavors.
