    Would you be interested in this kind of application?


    Have a look at Maven or Currnt or Pick My Brain.

    These platforms are more akin to crowd sourcing data or getting 121 advice from someone in your industry.
    HeroX also does that... so in essence....to answer your original question... YES, this is a good idea and there is a market for it.

    The site includes designers, managers, teachers, recruiters, change agents .... it's not 'for' software developers only. Thanks

    The original Bad Idea was posting it Specifically In General.

    Hope duly abandoned.

    I just tried that and it failed miserably. Google worked better.

    Good business ideas solve problems. Without a problem, there is no solution that people would accept paying for.
    Keep thinking..

    Going the wrong way IMO. People want sites for specific needs, not one size fits no one.

    Sort of like Google? But only better?

    started a topic Solutions finding online application idea

    Solutions finding online application idea

    Hi Guys,

    I would like to create an online application for small and medium businesses which will help them find solutions for their issues from other professionals.

    The engine is pretty simple, when you have a problem of some nature but you are not sure how to
    solve it, you simply go to our application and post your issue online under one of the categories.
    You will be able to describe the problem in detail, put the timeframes when ideally would you like to have it sorted and the budget you have planned for this to happen.

    This way you should be able to subcontract your projects to professionals who have an idea how
    they could help you by targeting a certain subject.

    The application should help small businesses or self-employed people to find projects to work with
    and by doing that to support other companies.

    Different nature of issues may be taken into consideration. It doesn’t matter if you need an
    Electronics Designer, Software Developer, Construction Engineer or Improvement Advisor you will
    be able to find them using our app.

    Would you be interested in this kind of application?

Working...
