What are your biggest pain points?

As an indie creator, what are your biggest pain points? I know this is a broad question, but it is a topic of particular interest to me.

    Having the energy to work on my side projects after a long day/week of work.

    Having abilities -> Not having ideas
    :(

      Sounds like collaboration would be an option here. Is part of the problem where to find collaborators?

        No, it's really to come up with an idea. It's hard to invent anything these days... it feels like everything is already invented...

          Just because a similar product/idea exists does not mean there is not an opportunity to innovate. Take the iPhone for example. There was a bunch of mobile phone options, but Apple took market and turned it on its head.

            I know there always will be the "tail" where our projects can still earn money. I am just saying that you can't really make a 'game changer' any more...

              I hear ya. It is perhaps more difficult for indie makers than larger corporates. With that said, open source has got the large tech folks worried concerning LLM and AI, so perhaps building community around an idea can help.
