Ask HN: what should I build

5 pointsby hiby007over 11 years ago
Hello fellow HN users. I am addicted to this site. like I have formed some kind of a habbit or something.<p>I am learning to build websites frontend as well as back end.<p>I am familiar with php codeigniter, and slim framework. I know css fair enough, and use bootstrap and jquery mostly for front end.<p>I have made smaller apps which can send sms.<p>now I would like to ask you for some ideas. What should I develop. I have thinked about it a lot, but I can&#x27;t think of anything that can add value to user. so insights and helpful comments are welcome.<p>please forgive me for bad english.

Well if you can&#x27;t get enough hn, build something that lets you read this site faster, better, more thoroughly, etc. That shouldn&#x27;t be too hard, right? ;)<p>You could add collapsible comments, or sortable comments. Rearrange the front page from a list to a tiled view. However you browse HN, make it better.

If you want to do something around ecommerce, this could be the big startup IDEA that you do!<p><a href="http://blog.uberstarter.com/planz-2-instagram-ecommerce/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.uberstarter.com&#x2F;planz-2-instagram-ecommerce&#x2F;</a>

Build something you personally would find useful. If you find it useful someone else will.

Don&#x27;t look for ideas, look for people that have a problem that they are willing to pay you to solve.<p>So, the question is &quot;Ask HN: What is a problem you would pay for someone to solve.&quot;

Scratch your own itch (solve your own problems).

what is your goal? Build with a purpose.
