I have built too many projects nobody actually needs. With inception like twist. (I will not promote).
Like almost every other software engineer I have built many side projects. None of them solved a real issue. I have stumbled across an author and podcaster talking about finding the audience first and then embedding myself into this community.
The idea is to find a real problems people actually have and solve that. Easier said then done!
However I have found a problem. The problem was still finding those problems :D
Reading subreddits, extracting possible signals, clustering them, labelling them, etc takes so much time, especially if you already have full time job and you are a newborn parent.
So I have started working on a tool that helps me do that automatically.
The inception part is that I am solving a problem for user (me) who has a problem finding problems to solve.
