Not sure what to build using #NoCode? Use one of these ideas for inspiration.
Struggling to find the "perfect" idea to pursue? Spend less time focusing on "perfect." Pick an idea that interests you, addresses a pain point that you are familiar with, and / or grows your skill set in some way. Even if it's not "perfect," even if it's something that you later decide to mothball, the time you spend may lead to better ideas and opportunities.
Still stuck? Use one of the ideas below for inspiration or look at #nocode examples curated by Mark Bowley.
Still stuck and don't like one of these ideas? Randomly pick one as a starter. Then write down 6 variations of it. Keep iterating.
On Where It Happens, I pitched @gregisenberg & @theSamParr on the idea of a home concierge startup.

I'm so tired of having this idea and no one building it. So it's yours if you want it. Rebundl: ONE DESKTOP APP for all your communities (@CircleApp, @SlackHQ, @Facebook, @reddit, @MightyNetworks, @tribecomms, etc...). Think https://t.co/F7jCyX40nW but for communities. Plz make!

Free startup idea: Comparison site for non-dilutive loans for startups.
For example startups connect Stripe, share metrics, etc then revenue-based financing companies compete for new loans based on lowest interest rate or best terms.
Basically CreditKarma for startups.

3/ I wish there was a resource that I could use to understand based on my location how long it would take to get a visa, get a consultation in the embassy, prepare the package of t he docs and stuff like that.
More inclusively rather then just for Europe or US folks.

How is there not 1 great calendar app?
My primary email is not google. Someone shares a calendar to my private email. For me to have it show up on my Google Calendar I now have to request access to my gmail email. 😠
Why are calendars so broken still?

Too much amazing evergreen content gets lost in newsletter archives.

I can’t remotely keep up with mentions and DMs anymore. Feels sad to ignore people who have responded though. What do people who manage their own Twitter accounts do for this?

If people email back and forth files between each other, that’s a SaaS business waiting to happen.

Business idea: Make content for people who want to sell their company.

Is there a good universal inbox app? Something that centralizes emails, Twitter DMs, WhatsApp, SMS, Signal, etc in one place? Checking so many inboxes regularly is a pain.

Creators want to spend their time creating.
