Hey everyone hope all is well and huge thanks to @MJ DeMarco for changing my life! Anyway...
Just a quick idea I wanted to share.
It's quite clear that everyone is looking for "business ideas" when they should be looking for problems. Go to any entrepreneur forum like Reddit's r/entrepreneur (cringe), and to an extent this forum, and you'll find swaths of entrepreneurs begging for ideas.
After cruising one of these forums, something just clicked in my brain: "Why don't I just check the support forums of well-known companies/products/SaaS for problems?"
So I headed over to the first one I thought of: The Shopify Community Forum
On the first thread I clicked I've already found these real problems people have with Shopify. These could all be potential Shopify apps, SaaS products, or value skews on their own:
Anyway, just wanted to share an idea that might get the gears turning for those who are stuck on the idea/problem finding phase of their Fastlane journey.

On the first thread I clicked I've already found these real problems people have with Shopify. These could all be potential Shopify apps, SaaS products, or value skews on their own:
- Can't select default variants (App)
- A gift card/code database for customers who have lost them (SaaS)
- Backorder/pre-sale system (SaaS or App)
- Can't edit existing orders (App or value skew)
- Lack of an open voting feature request system (SaaS)
- Customers can't edit their profiles (App or value skew)
- Customizable packing slips (App or value skew)
- Using multiple apps can be very expensive (value skew)
- An easier way to make exchanges for the same product (App or value skew)
- Different filters for viewing product for stores with 100+ products (App or value skew)
- Disable ALL emails to customers (App)
Anyway, just wanted to share an idea that might get the gears turning for those who are stuck on the idea/problem finding phase of their Fastlane journey.
