Where to find the best tech-ideas?
At the moment I am looking for a new (side) project. I would love it to be with (recent) technology. It would be great if it has a little complexity to it.
Where to look? My projects are usually a solution to some problem so I usually go looking for problems. Whats a problem at work? In your personal life? What do you not like doing? What repetitive task do you do a lot? Where do you spend your time and what on? Anytime you think why. Look on stack overflow if there is a problem that keeps coming up its because the solution isn't good enough. Here and on reddit I look at what other people are complaining about, or excited about.

IMHO ideas doesn't matter much (nor technologies even if I have my preferences). I left freelancing and took a job in a new industry (commercial real estate). It wasn't long before I found my SaaS opportunity and began building the MVP
