Quit job, write an app, make money off it. I might need another job while waiting for it to grow, but by the end of 5 years, it'll likely be way more than $20k in the bank.

“An app” is not enough. This isn’t 2009

There are plenty of problems that haven't been solved. It's just that most of these are million dollar ideas and not billion dollar ones - VCs won't cover them. They're too risky to do as a team, but too big to do as a side project for one person.

There's space for converting reference books to reference tools for example, like a city council once asked me for something to make building valuations easier, but we never closed that deal. Android is missing a dumb cloud note taking tool that just works, and yet there are a trillion note apps for iOS. Heck both platforms are lacking things that just charge once, no subscription, no gacha model.

Also AI opens up a lot of previously uncovered fields, and a lot of it is just API connections.
