This might be a question that is often asked. Though, I couldn't really find a good resource for a satisfying answer.<p>I'm trying to find a problem to solve for a side-project. But I am having a hard time in searching for the one that fits me. Does anyone know a website that lists problems or where users can post their problems?<p>Preferably the ones which could be solved with software.<p>As people said: The problem is in finding the problem. Problemception.<p>EDIT: I guess what I am looking for is the feeling/sensations of having problems solved. I need to develop a routine (or muscle) of solving problems. Income is not the concern.
Talk to people around you (barber, barista, waiter, friends and family, etc) about the technology that they use. (smartphone, facebook, etc) The conversation almost always turns to complaining about how they wish things would work. Those are your problems to solve.
I look to my daily life and those around me. I am fortunate enough to work in a co-working space (Affinity Lab in DC) that isn't only filled with technology companies. It's a diverse group of people covering all sorts of different fields from technology, to media, to accounting, marketing, pr, products, charities, etc. We talk, a lot. There are tons of problems everyone faces, some are common, some aren't. But you get inspiration. Maybe some are common among different areas, some might be common among the same niche. But having access to discuss your issues and other people's issues really helps me see the problems people encounter. Sometimes it's about sharing different solutions because they are solved (or there is an easier way, not perfect, but easier), sometimes you need to come up with something.<p>tl;dr: talk to people, it helps if you're part of a diverse community of people.
