When developer makes a blog, and it has UX well done, it is amazing. Site looks good from the outside, as well as inside the source, nothing insane, but you can see quality.
I am inspired now to make my own, that lays neglected for long time.
Oh, now I see that he is using Elixir, Elm, Phoenix etc... All the good stuff. :) Clearly a person with great taste.

I'd second this. I've seen several people get their agent license in recent years, and most of them have additional jobs. (meaning they're not generating as much income as an agent as they'd need to do it full time) It's a very flooded market.
Agreed. Just launched my company to help the types of agents you're talking about: GeneralReferral.com Brings technology to an underinvested corner of the traditional brokerage. Could use some marketing help...
The idea that someone with presumably no knowledge or even any passion can dip their toe into a problem space and try to create a "company" isn't very appealing to me at all. Everything about it feels so superficial and contrived with no passion.
Even the list he came up with is so low-hanging-fruit, it reads to me "I want something that is easy to build, easy to sell and makes me lots of money before I flip it to someone else, and then I can start the process again."
The lack of commitment and conviction screams to me that I shouldn't become a customer because he will abandon the project, and end it with another "Thanks for following me on my journey, I'm abandoning all my customers but join me on my next adventure soon!"

Count me in too! I've been growing more and more frustrated with the tools in the marketplace.
mmm, wondering how to progress this. Would you guys be comfortable joining a WhatsApp group to discuss this?
I find articles like this deeply disingenuous. The OP wants to basically find some problem that he doesn't know anything about, and apply whatever knowledge he has gained in hopes of building a "company" which appears to me is just a facade of a company until he can flip it to someone else who actually cares more. The idea that someone with presumably no knowledge or even any passion can dip their toe into a problem…
My hope is that my post will help others think about choosing an idea that fits with their goals, so that it will work out for the long haul.

Hey Derrick, Thanks for the great posts and for responding to comments! Would love some feedback on choosing to raise money or not. I read this post (and many others) about having those filters ready ahead of time. The filter on raising money unfortunately I don’t have, I keep going back and fourth on that. I have been working on an app, cross platform iOS and Android, that lets people listen to articles from the web…
Your website looks great. I didn't try the product. Can I ask how you did the design and UI of your landing page? Did you do it yourself or contracted someone to do it?
