Ask HN: What can I build that you'd pay for?

4 pointsby Gaessakiabout 9 years ago
I&#x27;ve been in a bit of a slump recently after I lost all my money in my last venture and I&#x27;ve been trying to brainstorm ways of coming back. Seeing as my passion is building projects and I can&#x27;t outcompete freelancers on price, I figured I&#x27;d ask the community if I could build you something for free that you&#x27;d pay for if you liked it.<p>What product can I develop that you or your business&#x2F;company would be interested in paying for? Additionally, how much do you see yourself or your company paying for it?

Are you looking for partners? Are you bootstrapping the project personally?<p>What are your skillsets? And what platform(s) are you interested in developing for? Are you mostly front-end or server side? Are you a graphic designer?<p>It&#x27;s not just about building software, either, but you must have a plan to market the project and attract customers. Do you have a plan for this? If not, I&#x27;m afraid you&#x27;re just going to lose more time and money.<p>Do you have business contacts within a certain industry that you can leverage? Do you have insights into the way a current industry is operating, so that you can improve on the operation and save the company money?
