🎄Happy New Year, my dear startuppers, thinkers, students, ideators, brainstormers!
I wish you to have more love and kindness to yourself and other people. Let your goals be reviewed periodically and be fulfilled as soon as possible.
Probably, this year will come with more AI tools, more generated content, more noise/information, more bots. It's important to have time with yourself to align with your goals (where are you heading?). Businesses come and go, some of them solve crucial issues, some of them don't. I wish all of us to solve the most important problems!

Idea: Renewable energy distribution
It's about a decentralized energy distribution system using microgrids. A microgrid is a small-scale energy system that is able to operate independently of the traditional grid and can generate, store, and distribute electricity locally. This business could focus on creating microgrid solutions for communities, buildings, or even individual households, allowing them to generate their own renewable energy and potentially sell excess energy back to the grid (this is where we need an adequate government policy: some countries don't allow selling your energy because there's a monopoly in the energy sector).
The startup could offer a range of services, such as designing and installing microgrid systems, providing maintenance and support, and helping customers to optimize their energy use. The company could also potentially leverage new technologies such as blockchain or artificial intelligence to manage and optimize the distribution of energy within the microgrid. This type of startup could be particularly relevant in areas with unreliable or expensive grid electricity, or in communities that are looking for more sustainable and self-sufficient energy solutions.
Idea: Explore books by ideas.
I'm used to search for books in two modes. In the 1st mode, I follow recommendations I receive from various sources (podcasts, individuals I follow, etc.). In the 2nd mode, I identify what is interesting for me right now, and search for the books that elaborate on the topics I'm currently curious about.
An idea that I propose is to create a place where one could see the essential ideas, excerpts, quotes from various books in the Tinder-like manner (or not): choose what you like right now, so the system reveals a book where this idea/quote originated from.
It's not a book summary app. The goal here is to have a possibility to dive deeper into the topics a person is currently interested in.

YCombinator has many articles regarding startups here. Their search allows to find something useful just for you right now. Also, YC has a newsletter.
And maybe some of you don't know about HackerNews where people share important news, articles and questions about tech industry primarily.
Now you get ideas from every information media including this Telegram channel. OpenAI simplified the process. GPTs can give you hints in the right direction if you have the proper questions. And as you might notice, this information (ideas) doesn't bring you closer to making more money.
If you're on this channel, you're most likely interested in starting a business to make money in this regressing economy. So, why can't we make money with these products you may see daily on ProductHunt? It's because they solve not a problem but a slight inconvenience for most people, or, a minor pain to a very small cohort of individuals. For example, do you care about a tool that generates emails for you with brand new AI? No because you can ask GPT already.
I suggest taking a pause and analyze the trends to solve more important problems. Let me bring some examples.
Remote work and collaboration tools. Of course, there are 500 new collaboration tools that appear every day and then close down in 3 months but look at Miro and Figma: they solve real issues for teams. Especially when more people switch to remote work. It's inevitable that more and more people and companies will do so. And what problems do you have when working remotely? As a company, you should organize paying money to foreign employees without paying for lawyers, other consultants, and accountants. Some individuals would like to reconcile the office vibes (e.g., kitchen talks, parties) in a remote-friednly way. So, online activities for teams. Then, more people would like to relocate to other places across the globe but the governments are inefficient, so more and more consultants are trying to help these individuals. They charge a lot. Some of them create more automated services. For example, they allow you to put basic information about you, the target country, and a tool provides you a basic plan for some money. Pay more and you can have an advanced plan or a call.
Hiring. Companies still cannot find a good employee cheaply. And individuals still cannot find a good place to work at. More and more recruting agencies appear. More job platforms appear. There are more automation tools for LinkedIn to help recruiters or job seekers. As a company, how do you filter out "bad" candidates if there are 5000 of them for a vacancy without having 10 recruiters doing so manually? Can you automate the process without filtering out good personas because you applied basic keywords matching? As a job seeker, where do you find a job if most of the job aggregators are almost useless? How do you get a company to review your resume if there are 5000 other job seekers?

1.4 million views this year, that's a lot!
While browsing the channel statistics, I started thinking about a discovery mechanism for Telegram channels. Thus, people like you and me may find valuable channels.
The current discovery methods are 1) Telegram search, and 2) various catalogs on Google. You may find the 2nd option convenient if you find a useful platform. So, the solution(s) exist but they don't help much because you still need to search for groups/channels by yourself.
So, what a good solution should be? Native Telegram discovery would be great, but they don't have it, yet. Therefore, how one could make a great discovery platform? Thoughts?
Idea: Community engine
A website engine/template that allow businesses/persons/communities to create a place for their community: useful resources, articles, a place for the discussion, and other related features.
If I were to start a community, I would ponder for a while what technology I should use to create a website, a messaging channel, a newsletter maybe? So why not having a template for all of that? For example, this solution would provide a ready-made website for the community's discoverability in search engines, a Discord/Slack/Telegram/etc. platform template for discussions, a service to run newsletters, and other features that this community may have.
Currently, there are many things to consider when running a community: a technology for a website, a lot of resources to read on how to run the comm. in Discord/etc., how to take payments, etc.
Idea: Shareable bookmarks
A social app where users share their useful bookmarks for websites. They are be grouped by folders, labels, tags, and are searchable. Users can follow each other to read their bookmarks feed. The service can be integrated with the browser bookmarks add-on.
One nice feature that might add more interactivity among the users is the possibility to ask others what websites they could recommend for X or Y.
Such a service requires you to attract users when there is not much activity(because of the lack of users) - the chicken and the egg problem that occurs on social platforms and marketplaces.
Idea: Customized meal plans
For people with specific dietary needs or preferences. For example, you could offer meal plans for people who are gluten-free, vegetarian, or paleo, and use algorithms to tailor the plans to each individual's unique nutritional requirements and preferences. This could be a great opportunity for people who have difficulty finding meal options that meet their dietary needs and want a convenient, hassle-free way to plan their meals and eat healthily.
One way to monetize it would be to charge customers a monthly or yearly fee for access to the service. You could also offer additional services or products, such as grocery delivery or specialized meal plans for athletes or people with medical conditions, for an additional fee.
To find potential customers, you may try surveying people with dietary restrictions or preferences to learn about their challenges and needs, and using this information to tailor your offering and marketing strategy. You could also consider partnering with healthcare providers, nutritionists, or other relevant professionals to reach potential customers and provide them with valuable resources and support. Additionally, using social media and other online platforms to promote your service and engage with potential customers could be an effective way to generate interest and build a following.

Why crypto is a popular scam?
Imagine persuading people that something is valuable. Now you need to sell them this item. And once the market establishes the asset price, you can sell it at the right time to gain maximum profits.
Let's create a ScamCoin token. What's its value? $0 but we say that the supply of the coins is limited and we require real energy to produce it. The production cost is not zero but how to persuade people buy it, what's the potential value/use? We don't lie and say that ScamCoin will stop circulating the market somewhen in the next 2 years and nobody knows the exact time. So, we can buy and sell it for other coins, give it to our friends. Thus, it becomes jsut for fun and people may buy it for memes. The more they buy, the more market price of it.
Since we have only 5 coins in circulation for now but 10 people want the coin, it becomes a bit competitive, so the price will go up. Then, 100 people will want to buy it (imagine we put a lot of ads in meme channels) for fun, the price will increase further.
Then I, as the creator, decide to sell all my coins and stop ad campaigns about ScamCoin. Since I owned many coins, the market will reflect the price after selling: it will decrease a lot. Then other people will sell it at some point.
An exercise to brainstorm your own ideas. Most importantly, it's coming up with problems and then potential solutions based on your domain knowledge and skills.
Generic ideas are for passive feed scrolling. You see an idea to build a new spaceship as a SaaS, you think "cool" and scroll farther. I'm suggesting doing some work by speaking to yourself.
Use a piece of paper or any tool you like to draw or take notes. For instance, I prefer Excalidraw or Obsidian.
1. Write down the skills you have.
2. Write down what industry knowledge you have.
3. Write down what interests/excites you.
4. Write down problems you have.
5. Combine everything from the list in your mind until you have some new insight.
I know that you don't want to do so because you think you may combine everything in you mind right now, so why care to write it down, right? Good luck keeping all the items in your short-term memory and actively shuffling various ideas😄
