Idea validation: what to eat list
Hi guys!
I have a gf and we usually cook at home but I sometimes want to eat outside and very struggle don't know where to eat for lunch, dinner, or special dates(birthday, night date, anniversary,...).
And I am a dev so you know, I love to solve problems by code.
I'm thinking about making a simple web app like PH but for restaurants, coffees, and bars to launch a new business or post the existing one.
Each destination will be categorized by type: breakfast, dinner, dating, anniversary, couples, alone, etc.
I already did some keyword research, the keyword I targeted gets 10k searches every day and has KD = 0 (unreal, I know).
I want to validate this idea and get some users first before jumping into code because I had 3 failed projects before.
What do you think about this idea?
What should I consider more to know if it worth to build?
How would you populate the page. I can't see restaurants and cafes have the muse and time to go on a random page and add themselves there.
And what differentiates you from Google Maps, where I can see all nearby restaurants + their opening hours, reviews, etc.?
The problem is Google or FB groups cannot be categorized and filtered. You're right about the initial data, it is the egg and chicken problem.
I was thinking I could ask the community to share their best restaurant first but seems it's not the proper way.
What you mean with can't be categorized and filtered? On Google Maps I can filter for eg. lunch or dinner or asian or pizza or whatever.
Not sure why I would use FB groups to find out where I want to go eat, but I haven't used FB for years, so not very familiar with it.
