Hey folks,
I just joined the Fastlane Forum and are very happy to announce that this is my very first post.
I am mid through "The Millionaire Fastlane " audiobook. I am very involved in the book and I am thinking about starting a business for at least 2 years.
I thought "The right idea will eventually come". That idea never came.
Background
I am a software developer with about 3 years of experience. I had a few side hustle projects in web and mobile development. The only things I ever released were a mobile app to practice steel dart checkouts and also a mobile app to play real time buzzer games for like people who want to organize quiz shows.
I knew that if I ever want someone to pay for my apps I need to increase the value the app provides. I never did. Maybe because these projects started as a fun project and I never intended to push them further or even to sell them.
Now
Now I am developing a new app which I plan to bring to market and sell it. Classic SaaS product. It is a tournament management system, initially just for beerpong tournaments, but I think later I want expand the app to support many kind of sports.
I know there are many apps like this already on the market. None of them is a perfect fit just for beerpong. And every app I looked at is overwhelming the user with too many settings and high complexity of the interface. And further on, most of them look quite ok, but not very stunning to the eye.
My goal is to provide an application which is simple, beautiful and simultaneously easy to interact with.
My actual question/problem
I am worried that my idea/application is too niche. I am worried that too few people will actually buy that software to make a difference in my current life.
I think the market is too small for that kind of product.
Do you have similar experiences? What would you recommend me to do? Just keep going or move on to some other idea?
