Problem of the Day – invent an app for supermarkets that allow you to find items.
Hi Product Hunters! As someone who is obsessed with ideas 💡 and inventions you realise quickly that the best ideas nearly always stem from a real problem 😥. Especially ideas that are turned in to successful businesses 💰💰💰.
Looking at a single problem can help generate dozens of ideas or solutions to that problem. Therefore, I believe that in order to ideate successfully you should start by looking at problems.
The point of this project, PROBLEM OF THE DAY, is to list one problem a day, sourced directly from a user on Twitter. No matter how big or small these problems may seem, they can inevitably lead to larger ideas in their respective solutions. I hope you like it!
TODAY’S PROBLEM OF THE DAY
Someone needs to develop an app for supermarkets that allow you to find items. Whoever does it, make millions and thank me later. From Smoothini

Hi @colinwinhall, I think Problem of the day can challenge people who like to build new products who often don’t know here to start. I’m curious how you select the problems on Twitter. Do you mostly filter the word “invent”? I’ll keep an eye on the website in case I need some new ideas while I’m still new to developing apps.

@angeliquesocial Hi Angie, thanks for you comment and I hope that it (problem of the day) can serve that purpose to anyone looking where to start. I am lucky to have found something that I enjoy doing and in the field that inspires me most (startups and entrepreneurship). People tend to use specific sentence structure and wording when conveying a problem they are facing. I call these “trigger sentences”. An example of a trigger sentence is one that you already mentioned, “I wish someone would invent”. I hope that you continue to visit and find inspiration from the problem of the day 🙂

I like the idea of problem of the day. Crowdsourcing problems and allowing the makers to get inspired from there. Maybe future features are categorization. Upvoting problems you agree with (identify which problems seem to be had by the most amount of people).
