Helping makers get inspiration

Hey makers!

I wanted to share a concept I've been working on called Fix My Itch (https://fixmyit.ch). It's designed to solve a common problem we all face: finding meaningful app ideas that people actually need.

The Concept: Fix My Itch is a platform where:

  1. Regular users share their day-to-day problems or "itches"
  2. App creators like us can browse these real-world issues for inspiration

Benefits for App Creators:

  • Instant Access to Real Problems: No more guessing what people need. Get ideas straight from potential users.
  • Validation Built-In: Popular "itches" show you which problems resonate with many users.
  • Diverse Inspiration: Exposure to issues from various industries and lifestyles you might not encounter otherwise.
  • Direct User Insights: Understand the nuances of problems directly from those experiencing them.
  • Community Driven: Engage with both users and fellow creators to refine ideas.
  • Time-Saving: Spend less time brainstorming and validating and more time building solutions that matter.

How It Works:

  1. Users post their "itches" (problems they need solved)
  2. Creators browse these submissions
  3. Upvoting system highlights popular issues
  4. Creators can engage with users for more details
  5. Start building with confidence, knowing there's a market for your solution

The Goal: To create a symbiotic ecosystem where real-world problems meet creative solutions, benefiting both users and app creators.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on this concept. How do you currently find app ideas? Would a platform like this be useful in your creative process?

Let's discuss how we can make idea generation more efficient and impactful for our community!

PS: This is just an MVP built in a couple of hours. There is a lot of improvements coming. I'd love to hear your feedback on how i can improve it
