I’ve been helping a few friends get their small projects off the ground, and one question keeps coming up: how do you know if an idea is worth pursuing before you dive in too deep? I’m curious what’s worked for others here. Do you start by talking to potential customers, or do you build a simple version first to gauge interest? I’m especially interested in low-cost ways to validate whether there’s real demand, because it’s so easy to spend months on something only to find out nobody wants it. What’s your go-to method for separating the promising ideas from the ones that just sound good on paper?
