How do you really know if your idea solves a real problem? Not just “cool project” vibes but actual pain, real need, urgency. Most of us try to validate by: - Sending out Google Forms - Asking in group chats - Tweeting “would you use this?” polls - Pitching it to anyone who’ll listen It’s quick. It feels like progress. But here’s what often happens: - You get polite answers, not honest ones - Feedback lacks depth or context - You don’t know if the person is even your target user - It’s hard to tell what’s real and what’s noise Validation isn’t about collecting compliments or upvotes. It’s about finding truth, before you spend months building the wrong thing. I’ve found a super helpful approach, getting feedback from other builders who’ve actually been through it. If you’re tired of filtering through unhelpful suggestions, this method might be worth checking out at joinhq.in. So, how do you check if your idea actually solves a real problem?

A company isn't something you force. You build a product, launch it, gather feedback - and if it solves a real problem, the company naturally happens.

Been using Ask Mode over Agent Mode on Cursor lately. Feels like I have way more control and clarity over what’s happening in the code. It’s slower, but I actually understand what’s going on before making a move. Highly recommend if you hate surpr
