Thinking perception
A great way to build software is to start out by solving your own problems.
You'll be the target audience and you'll know what's important and what's not.
The key here is, understanding that you're not alone.
If you're having a problem, it's likely that many
others are in the same boat.

What to Build ?
Conventional wisdom says that to beat your competitors you need to one-up them.
If they have four features, you need five.
Start with less features.
“Do less than your competitors to beat them” (Getting real, 37 Signals)
Solve the simple problems and leave the hairy, difficult, nasty problems to everyone else. Instead of oneupping, try one-downing.
Instead of outdoing, try underdoing
