I am struggling with identify the right idea that I can get to market easily. I know I just want to bootstrap it. And that I have two young kids and a wife.
Anyone have suggestions? Must be web based, it’s what I know well.
I'm a fan of Open Source and have a growing interest in serverless and edge computing. I'm not a big fan of spiders, but they're doing good work eating bugs. I also stream on Twitch.
The Silicon Valley model of "big idea 👉 figure out a market 👉 figure out a monetization strategy" does not work for bootstrappers. You don't have the runway to flail around that long. You'll have better luck approaching the problem starting with the people.
"who I can serve 👉 problems they pay to solve 👉 create those solutions"
The solution doesn't have to be big. You can start small and work from there. It also doesn't have to be software, unless you really want it to be for some reason. Small product ideas you could build and sell in less than six months could be a book, course, or Wordpress Plugin for example. I'm sure there are more.
Anyone else have any ideas?

Consider following @thekitze and Swizec. They seem to be doing well in this space. They're generally quite active on Twitter.
