Business ideas and opportunity guides
Two different things live here. The monthly list is specific product ideas, each one quoted from a public thread where someone described a problem their software does not solve. The guides are longer reads: where the openings are in a profession or a type of market, and what to avoid.
Or skip the reading: describe a market and your background, and get ten ranked opportunities scored on whether you specifically could win them.
