What Should You Build?

So the article comes up with the grand firework of a thought of

> Make something that people want

I still find this kinda complicated to follow in practice. Make something that you want. What you need, day to day at best. You longed it for long, searched all the possibilities and it just doesn't exist yet. It helps with motivation, and you know the basics to start from. Other people/the market can then help steer it in the right direction.

Yeah I fully agree doing this is super hard in practice. If you want it, for sure that can be a great place to start!

Also, although “make something people want” is pretty simple, still people forget it all the time (Including me btw). So it’s as much a self reminder as anything!

The thing is people often don't know what they want. You can show them an innovative solution to a problem they were having and they might want that.
