Good point! Feels like a lot of products start having the "quick exit" mindset, only a few are trying to build a product that last.

Yes, I like the concept but as I mentioned before can't see ordinary people using it.

Really like the idea about our own distributed/private-cloud version but I struggle to see ordinary users using it.

That's true! Twitter is used a lot in the news industry. Hmm, good question I use it to share news with my family and friend since I live abroad.

Totally agree with your point. I'm 33 and aware the young generation is using a different toolbet.

I can't emphasize enough how much I prefer to let the browsers vendors handle that.

IMO depend of the type of the project you're building. I'm using Ember because most of the project I work on right now have multiple pages, views and components. Using any other library/toolset would be much harder to achieve the same results. Ember comes with a lot of things in the box, the routes is definitely a game changer compared with with others.

At the end of the day it's all about money.
Re:Ask HN: How do you decide your side project? on Wednesday October 23, 2013 @11:20AM (#6599244)
I'm more with the niche market to be honest, solve one specific problem.

The money is a good point, of course we all want to do something that succeeds and the profit plays a big role here. Thanks for the input!

Ask HN: How do you decide your side project?

Posted by henriquea on Wednesday October 23, 2013 @10:45AM
from the ask-hn dept.

Hey guys,I've a few ideas I'm kinda between two. Basically I ask to myself the follow questions:1. Is the market big enough? 2. Are you solving a problem or fabricating one?How about you? What are the questions do you try to answer before start something?Cheers!Update: To be honest I'm more interested in small niches and community rather the big mass but the first point still relevant I guess.
