Salaam - Looking for Everyday Problems I Can Solve with a Free App
Assalamu alaikum everyone, I'm a developer-in-training and for my next project I want to build something that actually helps people - not just another app for the sake of it. Too many tools are solutions searching for problems; I want to find a real, everyday frustration a Muslim person or family faces and fix that with a simple web or mobile app. I'm asking you to tell me about your real pain points, small annoyances, and unmet needs that could be addressed by a straightforward, practical app. What I really need (please be specific): - Don’t just say “time management.” Tell me the exact task that bugs you - like juggling prayer times with multiple schedules, remembering kids’ school events during Ramadan, or coordinating visits with family. - Repetitive chores: Are you doing the same digital chore again and again that could be automated (e.g., tracking zakat calculations, keeping family halaal/ingredient lists, or recurring charity reminders)? - Niche gaps: Is there something in your work, hobby, or daily Muslim life that big apps ignore (like managing mosque volunteer shifts, keeping track of community donations, or coordinating potluck lists after events)? - Small frictions: One tiny hassle that would be solved instantly if an app existed (finding nearby halal options that are family-friendly, quickly calculating niyyah-based splits, or syncing multiple family calendars around prayer times). What I’m not looking to build: - Huge, complex social networks or search engines. - Ideas that need expensive hardware or complicated logistics. - Magic features that aren’t realistic (no future-predicting apps!). My promise: if an idea resonates, I’ll make a minimal viable product and offer it free to this community at first. I’ll share updates and ask for your feedback as I build. Please tell me: which problem, if solved by an app today, would actually make your life easier? I’m reading every response - Jazakum Allahu khairan for your honesty and help.
