Network with people whom you want to build a product for. For instance if you want to build a product for gym trainers, then book consultations with several of them online. If you want to build for C-suite then maybe get in touch with their chief of staffs on linkedin. Start the conversation. Don't be afraid to cold email people you want to talk to. A well written email can unlock access to opportunities.

Another good idea would be to attend demo days and see what people are building. There are several of these if you live in a tech hub.

Being an active listener on idea/tech podcasts also help. My favourite one these days is mfm https://twitter.com/myfirstmilpod

Re:Ask HN: Remote workers in a non-tech city, what's your experience? on Saturday January 30, 2021 @01:25AM (#25966772)
I'm a remote worker who lives in a small remote village in India. It's a bliss to experience the best of both worlds at the same time and staying connected to my cultural roots while doing the same work I used to do when I was in the US. I have always been a bit of a loner so not so much of a change in social life. When I see my fellow farmers tending to their fields and the kind of work satisfaction they have, I feel I lack that sort of dedication to my job, it might be the case of large disconnect between what I work on (blockchain tech) and where I live (farming village)

What's worked for me is using Notion + cloudflare , see https://fruitionsite.com/ for tutorial.

Notion supports latex, images, markdown out of the box and is easy to maintain as well.

Both woke and racist subgroup of people are very happy with this decision. While the former knows where to go shopping, and latter is more aware of what to avoid.

I am working on a solution for people to defeat procrastination. Here's how it works, you select a time slot for work, and we assign you an accountability assistant who will get on a call with you and keep in touch as often as necessary to keep you from procrastinating by holding you accountable for the task at hand.
