One way to develop your idea is to start with the problem. Your solution should be secondary because it is only one of many possible solutions to address the given problem. Most importantly, choose a problem you really care about - you might be spending the next 10 years on this!
Once you identify a problem and a group of people you want to serve, you must understand the problem better, particularly from the perspectives of your potential customers.
Ask the following questions: Who are your potential customers? What are their pain points? How often do they face them? What do they currently do to solve them? Are they willing to pay for the solutions?
Try out this handy tool to get you started on mapping out the problem.
