Describe a problem you're stuck with in a cast and I'll give you a cast-length suggestion (and may link to something else).

Like everything in this channel, people should feel free to jump in. AUA (ask us anything), not AMA.

I really want to build something of my own but struggle settling on an idea or finding one I truly resonate with (that someone else hasn’t already made a ton of headway on). 

Unsure if it’s a leap of faith issue, or too big expectations for the first thing I build 🤔

random facts and life excerpts. vulnerability is strength ✨🌈 fullstack & design, building /uno

1. Yes, software! I’m a product designer with fe dev experience

2. Yep but they’re already my clients, so I’m working with them but on their own projects 😅

3. Can for sure boil down most ideas to an mvp, just gotta get over the perfectionism

1. Build something with software? A different type of business (or project)?

2. Do you have any people in your network you'd be excited about working with?

3. Is there a version where you moonlight on the idea for a bit to get to ~10 people using it?

Argh yes exactly! “I am good at building things for other people, why wouldn’t I build something for myself then?” 

Do you build whatever interests you even if it’s in a super saturated market and isn’t a “new” idea?

Been in that state for a while, as a fellow designer you’re great at helping people build their products, you pair well with domain experts but you’re not a domain expert yourself in the same sense. One thing that helped me is getting into building anything interesting, it leads down a path from there.
