#Need Help thinking of ideas for hackathon projects

I want to know how and where do people get new ideas since every time I think of an idea, it's already done or implemented by someone.

If you're struggling to find a unique idea then find one that already exists that you're able to improve upon in some significant way

The way my bf and I came up with ideas last hackathon was:

  1. not worrying about if it was an original idea
  2. Solving problems we face in our daily lives (can’t decide what restaurant to pick, want to organize our recipes, want to organize our clothes and wear a different outfit every day)
  3. Thinking up a solution that would realistically solve our problem.
  4. Scoping down and not trying to accomplish the whole concept, just frontend or a simple MVP

Hope that helps! 🩷✨

@teal grotto what should I do if I can only implement something in only a small and insignificant change and definitely not that smart to come up with better ideas🥲

@timber python Yeah that is helpful! Question tho, if I want to implement something that might realistically not be completed by the competition limit but I want to showcase it. How can I go about this?
