I believed that finding an idea for what to build is the biggest problem every makers here has to solve again & again.

The evidence of your app suggests:

1. The belief might not be warranted.

2. Or the problem exists but the app doesn't solve the problem.

Iterate.

Regarding the same quote, I think idea is the easiest thing to find, I am astonished that there are so many people searching for ideas or buying ideas. Ideas are useless without the right implementation. People already have so many problems or use so many low-quality products, it's really easy to find a problem and solve it, but you must:

1) Know what the problem is and who has this problem

2) Know how to solve it

3) Put in the time and effort to actually build it

Thanks for the feedback @XCSme

Yes you are right-ideas are easiest to find. But finding ideas for which there is a demand & people are actually willing to pay for- is quiet difficult & iterative process.

My intention to build the product was to help people filter out already viable & successful products in their niche.And then just beat them in terms of better performance, pricing or by focusing on a particular feature or a user-segment. This will give the makers an unfair advantage to beat the competition out there.

"Good artists copy, great artists steal" - a quote Jobs stole from Picasso.

I agree that the placing & packaging of my product doesn't make it clear.Coming from Back-end Engineer background, this is quiet a challenge for me. Working on it for a re-launch :)
