Here's a simple process to follow:

1) Identify a pain-point you are personally experiencing in some X-industry

2) Search through to the deepest darkest hole of the internet to find an existing solution

3) Identify whether current players are poorly marketing themselves OR if the market is too small (only 500 people need this??)

4) If after analyzing 3), the idea is viable, go for it, else begin from 1) again.

That's a good process! My personal pain-point in this is paying way too much rent for way too little. (However, that's just the supply/demand mechanisms doing its work). But also, the landlord aren't delivering what it promised before I moved in...

It might be interesting to look into creating a service for form-letters for various real-estate complaints. I know that previously, I've had to deal with landlords who were withholding my security deposit, or refusing to make repairs, and a way to quickly generate official, legally-correct letters for requesting what I am legally entitled to could be useful.

Definitely! I'll look into this one.
