Don't know what problems are worthy of solving. How would you approach this?

2 points by michaelshoe ↗ HN
We've all heard this: Don't create solutions looking for problems. Instead, find a valuable problem first.

But pinpointing the right problem is tough.

I got stuck at overthinking: what is a worthy problem?

Right now, I'm thinking two potential ways out:

1. Build and publish as much as possible on any idea crossing mind. I hope this will help increase the surface area of getting lucky.

2. Do whatever I can to make the first dollar online.

How would you approach this? Any insight is appreciated!

Do you have an idea for (2)?

If not, do (1), but keep 'build' really light.

Keep track of the irritations and problems you encounter, and address one of those.
