| I was in your exact position including having worked at a FAANG last Oct. In Silicon Valley still, I quit before the pandemic to be a fulltime dad to a newborn, thinking after about a yr I can go back and find something. ack. then the pandemic hit. Now...I'm contemplating your exact situation of starting something. I have too many ideas, all great, but seem to lack focus and motivation although running out of money should be enough....but aint? I guess "startup" isn't what I'm after per se but more of some simple very vertical SaaS I could code up myself like time sheets, scheduling, proj mgmt, journaling etc.. why? I can't deal with deal people/employees at the moment for many obvious reasons. I should be able to create something where I could launch and maintain myself. I'm looking for something that is..
1. minimal administration w/o needing a physical location
2. self servicing platform where content is user generated
3. fee based, no ads I'm trying to get motivated by watching these adventurous people:
https://www.indiehackers.com/businesses Time is of the essences so I need to get moving on it. however, hard when I only have a 1-2hr window max a day after 10pm provided he sleeps through the night :( My current and possibly the idea I may implement:
A private social network, necessity is mother of all inventions. I'm need a way to share my kid with extended family that isn't IG/FB/Whatsapp etc.. I want something more closed, personal, grandmother tested and very private. The common denominator is it needs to work on very under powered tablets running Android 4.0. Writing up a mini bizplan then wireframe then proto it as a PWA. No one these days uses a PC. Hit me up for mutual motivation? lakota @ gmail |
