Comment on Ask HN: How you get Ideas

Comments

Ideas come when you are in a really difficult position and need something urgently. You try to find solutions for that problem by trying to see if there is a solution for your particular problem out there. If the solutions out there don't solve your problem, then you come up with your own. Because if the current solutions are not working for you, you can bet it is not working for someone also.

Don't look for an idea just because... If you do that, your enthusiasm for it will/can wane. But if what you are creating solves your own problem, wakes you up at 3am because you are too excited to finally figure it out then you may be unto something.

thanks first of all. But I know this. You know most of answers in this post is like that. Try to solve the problem. I know this you know this everybody know this. But the thing is that we do not get problems or we get that are already solved in some form till now. Do not get me wrong. But really I think what to do. What is require which other people have and I do not have. When I saw on github or appstore doing things by other people I feel I can do this and I should do this. But when I try to do that I do not know where to start. You know why because I do not know what to start. I do not want to do which other people alerady done. They are doing something unique and I also want to do that. But do not know what. If any body please help I really appreciate. BTW thanks a lot for your answer.

Perhaps, you are looking too hard? You don't know where to start because you feel the stupid apps are making money hence the need for you to also make some money right?. Is that a fair assessment based on your post? Don't let that be your only motivation for wanting to build or create an app.

A good starting point is to brainstorm whatever you are thinking off and go from there..
