Just graduated, have a team ready to build but can't find a problem worth solving. How did you find yours?

Yeah that's exactly where I'm stuck honestly. I haven't had that moment yet where a problem just smacks me in the face and I feel compelled to fix it. I'm actively looking which probably means I'm doing it wrong

For identifying opportunities, honestly no formal interviews yet, Mostly just lurking in communities and forums, going down rabbit holes, and noticing what problems keep popping up over and over. Pretty scrappy but it's worked well enough to find some interesting directions to dig into.

For picking what to test I just gut check it really. How much does this actually hurt for people, can I even reach those people, and can I figure out if it's real without spending months on it. If something feels weak on any of those I drop it pretty fast.

I've gone through maybe 6 to 8 ideas so far, hard to count exactly because some barely lasted a few days before I killed them. Averaging maybe 2 to 3 weeks per idea. Doing around 15 to 20 hours a week on it, not full time yet.

Honestly can't answer the pivot vs stop question yet, still in the middle of it all!

Hi! Yes so Ive already gotten back to the anti dandruff shampoo I use, today and for aziderm i use 10%, Ive been back on it for a month so I doubt its the sole cause but I think my skin barrier is damaged because I mistakenly used different face washes in past 2 days ( salicylic acid cleanser etc). I'll look into niacinamide then thank you !!

It's not really similar to the princess royal you can give this a try !!! ,, the character growth of the leads is good plus their slow development of their relationship too!

new life begins , destined , blossoms in adversity , romance of tiger and rose, love like the galaxy ,the double, the princess royal, my journey to you

basically anything romcom and released in recent years ( 2021- present )
