This post is inspired by PHP Fog news. I had this very idea (almost 100% the same) around an year ago and I didn't do anything about it. I didn't know if it's any good and so I let it go even though I thought about it every now and again.<p>How do you know if your idea is good enough to actually implement? Implementing every single idea that you have is simply not possible. I get like 10 ideas per day! (I know the number because I write all my ideas down in fear that I might forget). There must be a way to know that an idea is better then the other.<p>I'm kind of lost in this realm. Any input? thanks.
It depends very much on what you want out of life.<p>Find what you want out of life, then find what you need to get it. Then work towards it.<p>Long story short, there are some tradeoffs involved. If you want a product that can make stupid amounts of money, it needs to be automated and scalable that provides people something they value in a way they cannot otherwise get it in a fashion such that competition is hard or impossible. It's also a good idea to have a clear income stream. It takes a lot of thought, a lot of effort and a lot of time to produce something like this.<p>So you need to ask yourself, do I really need the billions of dollars? Or would something more modest be "worth it". You are then a lot less limited in the things you can work on, and can think of other options. Small niche things that can't really be turned into the next blockbuster idea, but still make reasonable returns may still be worth your time if it achieves your goals in life.<p>Tl;dr: Learn what you want from life. Once you understand that, then you will have have solved this.
Talk to the people for whom you think this will solve a problem and find out if it solves a big enough pain that they would be willing to open their wallets. Word to pg. Make something people want.
Scratch your own itch. Startups that solve your own problem are great ideas: you know the need exists and in turn you become passionate about a solution.
