Ask HN: Where to go to discuss product/service ideas
I love Show HN posts. It's really fun to see the products you all come up with.
I could build a product and show you it, but I feel like I need to take a step further back and really flesh out what this product/service might be before I build it and ask for feedback.
Is there a good forum or subreddit for discussing and iterating over product ideas with a willing audience? Thanks! We get a lot of projects that just start with a page on STOMT to collect wishes for the project. It's basically a mix of feedback management and community building. Example: https://www.stomt.com/stomt
We used it to collect and manage our own ideas and at the same time we shared labeled stomts with friends and used this as priorization tool while building the platform itself. Mostly used by game developers we get more and more SaaS and app projects on board. It has a freemium tier that is good enough to let your project becoming big. Edit: And btw.. users don't have to sign up but can leave their e-mail address optionally to get notified. Check out indiehackers - perfect platform and audience for this Fantastic, thank you. Unless your potential product is for tech users, I don't think IndieHackers is a good place to discuss your idea. If you're building software for cafe owners or dentists, then you need to be talking to groups of cafe owners or dentists, not other tech guys like you. I would suggest finding a forum that your target audience visits. If they respond well to your idea they might just turn into your first few customers. Sounds like a good side project...lol... I see what you did there. This is a trick question though :)
