Hey there Product Hunt 👋
Huge shoutout to @mubashariqbal for hunting my product today 🙌
It’s Sharath, the guy who launched Tools for Makers and The Angel Philosopher. I’m so stoked to announce my 3rd side project and participation in Makers Festival: No-code edition today 🚀
When @ProductHunt announced Makers Festival, I was super excited to participate as this time it is for no-code makers. Like any maker, I struggled to get an idea and was looking for inspiration. I came across @anthilemoon’s 101 blog(which btw has ton of unique 💡ideas) and randomly searched “product ideas” on twitter. I then realized, many people come up with awesome ideas and it’s a trend to share them via twitter under #requestforproduct tag. I found so many gems just by searching the twitter timeline and wanted to bring them under one umbrella. I felt due to the extensive twitter feed some of the best ideas get lost. And it’s hard to keep up with what twitter and especially startup world 🌍is thinking.
Here comes #RequestForProduct, a crowdsourced directory of product ideas people wish to exist.
Inspired from @marckohlbrugge’s Request for Startup, I quickly built a home for these idea gems people tweet. This platform caters for makers who are looking for an idea for their next product or startup. This platform acts as a medium for people who want to spread their ideas to the world.
Shoutout to @NinaLimpi for an awesome unDraw image, @PoeHaH for table2site and @thisiskp_ for support. I will keep the idea log fresh and interesting. If there are any great ideas out there that I’m missing and you feel should be a part of the site? Or any suggestions/feedback you have? Let me know, I'd love to hear it! 🙏
Thank you for reading ❤️
Lovely idea. I like it how you sourced the ideas first as apposed to relying on the crowd to submit them. Also featuring big names gives the product more clout. Would love an upvote function on the ideas : )
Thanks @craigjbarber. Wanted to showcase the best ideas first 😀 Glad you liked this simple idea. And yes adding upvote feature would be a great addition.
That's pretty cool Sharath, I am sure many makers will find this helpful. What are some of your filters when going through them? Some smaller ideas for hackathons and first time projects could be a good way to keep bringing traffic to the site in the long term.
Thanks @guillaumebardet. I just wanted to curate the best and interesting ideas. For example: @tomerlondon tweeted an idea asking for Robinhood for charity. Also I agree to expand the platform for hackathons that way the site is filled with quality ideas and result in great executions.
What I really need is a hyperledger, aggregating all sites and forums like this, into a one-stop-shop...
What would that take? A few scrapers, maybe @importio, Table2Site, simple @heroku destination, maybe some @zapier & @segment thrown in, track it all on @slack...
...a bit easier said than done.
