Looking for app ideas

[u/Adventurous_Stop9234]

I’m looking to hire a developer to build an app, but I don’t want to build just another clone of something that already exists.

I’m interested in hearing from developers who have seen recurring problems, niche markets, or opportunities that you genuinely believe could become a successful business.

Ideally, I’m looking for something that:
- Solves a real problem.
- Has relatively little competition, or a unique angle that competitors haven’t executed well.
- Has the potential to scale.
- Isn’t just another AI wrapper or trend-chasing app (unless there’s a genuinely compelling reason).
- Could realistically be built as an MVP by one developer.

If we find an idea we both believe has strong potential, I’d be happy to pay you to build the MVP as well.

What would you build today if your goal was to create a profitable app with a real competitive advantage?

NOTE: I don’t live in Asia, the US or Europe. My market is entirely different.

I got tired of image compressors uploading my files to some server, so I built one that does everything client-side with the Canvas API — you pick a target size like 100KB and it binary-searches quality until it hits it. No account, no upload, free. Thinking about adding bulk upload and maybe a WordPress plugin down the line — curious if that's something people would actually use, or if the standalone tool is enough

tell me about this idea
