...more millenial problems? The real version of this is Code For America, which embeds devs with govs. Get the problems from people outside tech.

The main problem seems people do not know the many solutions that already exist. For example from this weeks ProblemHunt:<p>1. But I only got an appetizer... Going out to eat with friends is fun, but splitting the bill sucks. Either someone doesn&#x27;t have cash or the person who just got an appetizer ends up paying the same amount as everyone else.<p>A quick google gives a ton of solutions, like: splitabill.com kittysplit.com <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;itunes.apple.com&#x2F;us&#x2F;app&#x2F;splitwise-split-bills-expenses&#x2F;id458023433" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;itunes.apple.com&#x2F;us&#x2F;app&#x2F;splitwise-split-bills-expens...</a> <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;play.google.com&#x2F;store&#x2F;apps&#x2F;details?id=com.msafiullah.splitbill" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;play.google.com&#x2F;store&#x2F;apps&#x2F;details?id=com.msafiullah...</a> <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;techcrunch.com&#x2F;2015&#x2F;05&#x2F;03&#x2F;split-lets-you-split-the-bill-fairly-not-equally&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;techcrunch.com&#x2F;2015&#x2F;05&#x2F;03&#x2F;split-lets-you-split-the-bi...</a><p>2. Anyone got a charge? I love riding my bike while using my phone for its GPS, but using the GPS completely drains my battery. By the time I get to my destination my phones dead!<p>In Europe it would be no problem to charge your phone in most coffee shops, bars or restaurants. In Asia they even advertise with &#x27;free phone charge&#x27; (or they put a price on it). But maybe I misunderstand the problem and is it more specific ? There are also portable battery chargers in all sizes ?<p>For most of the other problems it would not be difficult to find an existing solution either. So this could be an idea for monetization: have people set a reward for solving their problem. In relation to how big the problem really is to them ? I will then gladly solve the &#x27;low hanging fruit&#x27; :-)<p>Edit: typing error

Another possible improvement: people should describe a possible ideal solution as well. The problems now seem easy to solve but maybe its only because the description is too vague.

One of the things that might be bad about this is competition. If I&#x27;m trying to start a startup and I&#x27;ve noticed a common problem and there&#x27;s zero competition for solutions - that would be the ideal scenario for a new startup. But a service like this could have multiple people inadvertently working on duplicate solutions for the same problem. There is no mutex.<p>Don&#x27;t get me wrong its a cool idea but probably nothing will beat basic observation and creative thinking when it comes to finding new ideas.

How would someone go about responding to these problems? For instance, #10 on <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.probhunt.com&#x2F;example2.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.probhunt.com&#x2F;example2.html</a> can be solved by joining one of the many IRC channels or Slack chats that focus on the language.

Interesting. I&#x27;ve created problems.club (I posted link to HN yesterday), because I want to find a problems, which new startupers and other people like me can solve. Your project pursues the same idea.
