Honestly, I don’t know. But from what I can tell, the ones solving problems people have, even if they were not aware before, are the ones working. The other ideas usually don’t. What are problems worth solving?
I’d define a problem worth solving as something that has 3 attributes: It is persistent, in a sense that [...]
So finally I’m starting to write something that will certainly end up being tagged as ’simpleyeteffective’ or ‘improvingtheworld’, hopefully both is true.
