Do you wanna launch grandiosely your startup? Get a list of platforms where people can discover your project and can push your project directly to the sky.
> Having said that, I agree that we perhaps may need a platform for something like this, since solving problems in my opinion is all about points of view and options.
I wrote the post being oriented more to the problem, because solutions are presented to everyone. And as you mention 1% of them are truly well defined.
In the same context of building a platform that can be a step further in any kind of problem that humanity can have, there are a lot of websites that can allow this type of content. Is this really needed? Would someone use it?
So for example I'm intrigued what makes someone ask for help? Or does it? Usually, they ask for help or search to solve a problem when the problem is oppressive.
> will we act thoughtfully and utilise it like we should?
As a human being, we have stupid problems, actually, some are not problems so we if we build a platform which define problems, a lot of topics could be crappy questions.
Maybe that works when you plan to move from spreadsheets to a tiny application. But what if your problem is that you'd like to share your parking in a system like Airbnb do for houses? Your not necessary interest in building that solution by yourself, but you'd like that solution. Maybe that solution already exists and you don't know about it or it doesn't and someone else would like to start it.
Isn't that too generic? You can post there any question about anything. I think more about a community of "indie devs" or not necessary indie, which are looking for their next project, ready to help some people with their daily problem.
