| I have a 9-5 job currently. Also contribute to a local "code for location" thing. I have some time, I have a bit though generally being single/no responsibilities other than myself. I don't like that I have one income and I'm scared of losing my job sort of thing, granted I get a lot of recruiters hitting me up(though am I qualified, just string matching). > 1. Think about problems you've faced. This mostly it's an attention thing for me, I'm trying to learn Android/make a widget, I did the cross platform app part for the mobile/desktop app, for a centralized thing... this is not something that would make money eg. OneNote/Evernote/etc... Other thing is managing money I have spread sheet tabs. Yeah only thing I use really are the note taking/money managing stuff(not YNAB or something just tabulating). Yeah working with friends is hit and miss... I didn't get paid for that thing I built was about 14 hours(had to figure out PayPal's API(which one)). I actually have few friends, most are in specific niches eg. aero industries. Thanks for the thoughts. edit: I didn't get paid because I'm expensive(to this person)/weird to ask friends for money even though time/expertise costs someone something. Arguable too can you charge for something you don't know... anyway it's still like one of those things where $60/hr or something is too expensive for a person. At the end though, no I have not tried hard enough, I haven't launched anything. |
