What products or services do you wish existed for your startup?


What products or services (software or not) do you wish existed for your startup?

I'm taking 6 months off and looking for projects to work on (most of my experience is in B2B software, so ideally would work on a project in that space). Any ideas like "I wish someone produced X or Y" would be helpful!

Something to simplify FTP.

When you partner with a business in b2b most data is delivered through sftp channels.

Make a tool that vastly simplifies that. Be it onboarding, offboarding, alerting, emailing, the works.

A user gateway. I need a product that can help me process user registration, login, session and other user identity logic. Than I can add my own user experiences using programming languages. The present user processing tools are too complicated and makes non sense.

Horizontizally scalable RDBMS that can grow by adding commodity hardware and storage and can be queries with ANSI SQL. And MIT/BSD licensed.

(Not a Six month project, I know....)

I think one of the main issues in startups is building cross-platform products as quickly as possible, so I think this is why some companies like Google work on some new technologies/methodologies like Kotlin

But there's a big issue, most of the times founders are not programmers and looking for some codeless solutions

And I think there're not any countable solutions in the market. The somewhat countable solution that exists is Bubble.io but even Bubble has some limitations and even issues but has a very good UI interface and logic behind

I decided when our startup officially launched for our next startups and projects we build an invaluable solution and I think I have the answer in mind

A service that hooks into Stripe or whatever and sends a nice "welcome / swag" package to the address of whoever just signed up.

It should take care of ordering and stocking t-shirts, mugs etc. with my design and then shipping it.
