  • How can I check the viability without building the software or hardware?

    1. see if the thing already exists
    • if it does and is successful, great, viable idea. now figure out how the existing thing sucks (see 2)
    • if not, great, maybe an untapped niche
    1. figure out who the intended users are and talk to them. what do they want? what do they hate?
    • filter through a fine mesh of common sense, pragmatism and cynicism
    1. build a basic version that adresses some subset of identified needs (and that users hate less), get feedback, iterate

    it helps when you are an intended user since that’s a tighter feedback loop
