So validating your idea before building is better, but there is an even more "backwards" way:
You're still assuming people will be interested in one of your ideas. There is far from 100% chance of that.
To increase this chance closer to 100%: ask people what they are interested in. "Extract" the #1 problem shared by at least 10 people/businesses (that would be worth paying at least $50/month to fix). Then offer a solution to this problem.
There are three types of problems: 1. hair-on-fire problem, 2. 2nd biggest problem, 3. everything else
Yes exactly. I read OP's post and thought, why would I use this? If I really cared I'd just copy paste links to my projects or even build a small website. It doesn't even solve any problem I have, I never struggled to share projects.
