I want to create a startup, but I have no technical skills whatsoever


Hi Hackernews. I have been mulling a concept in my mind that I believe could help solve the problem that is false reviews and scams on Amazon, but i lack any sort of technical competency whatsoever and no-code websites seem to have a too confusing layout for me to grasp. What should I do?

Hi :) Write a very clear description of the particular problem you perceive, and give your solution to the problem.

Then you might be able to convince someone with the appropriate skills to help you.

The usual answer is, "Find a "technical co-founder." How do you do that? Maybe ask Google; it should find relevant blog posts, articles, etc.

The problem is worth solving, and I'm not sure Amazon has the right incentives to solve it themselves, so there might be a market, e.g. for a freemium browser plugin.

First, describe existing methods currently used to solve the problem of false review, and why they are not working. This requires technical competency.
