This just seems like the laziest attempt at getting startup ideas for yourself, and I have seen many...
What approach do you recommend for getting startup ideas, that deem to be relevant for the HN community?

The reason I thought of putting this post was based on the recommendation to talk to your potential users. In hindsight, reflecting as I speak, I have maybe asked the question too broad. I should have come with a more narrow concept, and then asked for feedback to groom it.
