Another good way to build an app is not to create something brand new, but to build a better mousetrap. I mean, my space was acquired for over half a billion dollars in 2005. And Facebook launched right around the same time, about a year earlier, but they didn't really take off till they started opening it up to all the schools. And as soon as Facebook came out, everyone started flying to Facebook, Myspace crashed and burned, because Facebook made a better product. So keep in mind, you don't have to build something original. It could be an existing service or product or platform that's already out there, but you figured out a way to make it better.
And that's also a way to go. So for this section, we're going to keep in mind that the resources out there you can use Product Hunt, to look at new products and services that are already out there. If you've never seen Product Hunt, calm is a place where you can find your next favorite thing. I mean, these are people that have invented or Created platforms or products. And you can see if maybe, maybe you were thinking of building a curated selection of remote startup jobs. Well, it's already out there.
So click on it, and and see what this platform does. You know, so this is a good way to kind of see what's out there already. See what people are building. Those inspire you, maybe you'll want to use one of the products. But also you might decide that you don't want to build this autocorrect for drawing because Google already built it. So it's a good way to figure that out.
Flipboard is an app I use to read news, and I read news every day based on my market, because you need to make sure you stay on top of things. Kickstarter and Indiegogo great place to check out hardware products that people are coming up with, especially if you're in the hardware space, as I showed you type form is for surveys and patterns comm for UI UX. These are great resources, use them. I use them all the time. It'll help you ideate and create ideas for your platforms and for your services and for your products. And now we're going to get into some team building.
