I recommend using google to see if an open-source solution for your problem already exists. If you search "desired solution site:github.com" - this will show only results from github.com - a good place to find and get open source software.

There are free AI coding tools - knowing how to use them is the challenge. lmstudio(.ai) is a good all-around desktop AI, free, and can help you pick models and manages them. All on local compute - no clouds. This will be my business excuse for having a high-end GPU going forward.

If desperate and hopeful enough, one could post the idea in a reddit thread and see what happens.

Thanks for the help, and just to reiterate, you suggest searching Google or GitHub for a platform that would solve a common issue? Second, your mention about coding tools, do you have any suggestions for a beginner to navigate through the software? Apologies if you touched on this already, but I was more so asking whether there was an existing website or mobile application where there is a discussion about a specific problem, and the developer would decide that based on a certain amount of likes or upvotes, whether it is worth building (I.e. mass user potential). What do you see?
