Why would someone guard such information unless they themselves are making a product solving the problem? If I am a Chemist (or whatever other field) and I have some problems to solve and I am not a programmer, isn't it in my own interest to publicize the problems so someone else can make software for it?

What kind of problems are they? What field?

I understand what you are saying about pay. But here is the counter argument for it - say you have 3 problems to solve, that can be solved with software. You don't have time or patience to code it yourself, but you know your peers and friends also have the same 3 problems. If you can clearly write down the requirements, I think there will be programmers who will be willing to work on the problem - especially if they know there are people who want the problems solved and there is a possibility of turning it into a side project or a business.

Maybe you could pick a handful of the problems, post them here and see if there is any interest?

Is there a list of real world, expert vetted list of problems that can be solved with software? Problems like the one you mentioned (not yet another project management app). It would be awesome if someone can curate a list like this and act as a bridge between experts from other fields and programmers who want to work on such problems.

wow, we can expect whole lot of mobile apps then? There must be 10x web developers as mobile developers, at least?

Noob question - is it possible to learn React and build mobile apps for someone who is a web developer and has no knowledge/experience in mobile development?

This is the part I don't understand - last week there was an article about Salman Rushdie and FB. I doubt anything is going to change by complaining - FB is continuously going to do everything in its power to monetize and lock down it's users. Why not just stop using FB? May be I don't 'get' the importance of FB, but I think people can happily communicate with just email, phone and a bunch of other sites, which are less offensive than FB.
