Here are many reliable, practical, and creative ways to come up with ideas for a web app:

1. Solve Your Own Problem

• Think of a daily annoyance or inefficiency you face.
  
  
• Build something to fix it.
  
  

Example: You keep losing track of subscriptions—make a subscription tracker.

2. Improve an Existing App

• Look for repeated complaints, wishlists, or workarounds.
  
  

Example: A lightweight tournament organizer for local chess clubs.

4. Job Boards & Freelance Sites

• Browse Upwork, Fiverr, or Indeed for what businesses are hiring devs to build.
  
  

If 20 people need a custom booking system for pet grooming, that’s a hint.

5. Automate Boring Tasks

• Think of a repetitive, manual task you or others do with spreadsheets or email.
  
  
• Automate it with a web app.
  
  

Example: Auto-generate invoices from form submissions.

6. SaaS Directories

• Check Product Hunt, Indie Hackers, or SaaS Landing Page sites.
  
  
• Take inspiration from popular ideas and apply them to a new niche.
  
  

Example: Calendly for real estate agents.

7. Combine Two Ideas

• Mash up functionality from different tools or products.
  
  

Example: “Trello + Spotify” → collaborative music mood boards.

8. Use AI as a Feature

• Build tools that use GPT or other APIs in a smart, purposeful way.
  
  

Example: AI generates personalized job cover letters based on your resume.

9. Trends and News

• React to current events or new tech trends.
  
  

Example: Privacy dashboards after GDPR / AI prompt manager after ChatGPT boom.

10. Ask People

• Literally ask friends, small business owners, or social media followers:
  
  

“What software do you hate using every week?”

11. Clone + Niche

• Take a big app and make a version for a small, underserved group.
  
  

Example: Airbnb clone for vanlifers / Instagram clone for tattoo artists.

12. Reverse Prompt Engineering

• Think of a cool prompt you’d give to an AI, then build a UI around that.
  
  

Prompt: “Generate a birthday party plan for 6-year-olds” → App idea born.

13. Open Datasets

• Browse Kaggle or public APIs and build something useful on top of the data.
  
  

Example: Visualize local crime trends by neighborhood and time of day.

14. App for App Makers

• Build tools that help developers or creators like you.
  
  

Example: Color palette generator, pricing calculator, fake data generator.

Here are even more ways to come up with web app ideas — beyond the usual advice:

15. Watch How People Hack Tools

• Look at how people misuse Excel, Notion, Discord, Google Docs, etc. to do things they weren’t designed for.
  
  

Example: A group uses Google Sheets to manage shift scheduling → make a tool just for that.

16. Browse Indie Dev Case Studies

• Read build logs and retrospectives on sites like IndieHackers, Twitter, or personal blogs.
  
  

Real stories = real validation = real pain points you can build for.

17. Pretend You’re in a Different Industry

• Pick a role (e.g. farmer, dentist, YouTuber, trucker) and imagine what small digital tools would make their life easier.
  
  

“What would a beekeeper need?”

18. Use “X for Y” Formula

• Simple framework: Successful App X + Niche Y
  
  

Example: “LinkedIn for indie musicians,” “Dropbox for legal files,” etc.

19. Explore Chrome Extensions

• Many Chrome extensions are essentially mini web apps with tight utility.
  
  

Find a good one and think: how could this be expanded into a full app?

20. Try No-Code Communities

• Look at what people are building on Bubble, Webflow, Glide, etc.
  
  

If tons of no-code makers are building CRMs for fitness coaches, there’s likely demand.

21. Convert Offline to Online

• Take something that happens on paper, in person, or via phone and make a web version.
  
  

Example: Dance class signup sheets → mobile-friendly scheduling app.

22. Browse Help Wanted Forums

• Look at tech support forums, Stack Overflow, even Quora.
  
  

Find “How do I do X?” questions that aren’t well answered = app opportunity.

23. API Wrappers

• Find a powerful API (Spotify, Stripe, ChatGPT, etc.) and wrap it with a friendly UI.
  
  

Example: Tool to visualize Spotify playlists by mood and genre using their API.

24. Startup Cemetery

• Browse https://www.startupgraveyard.io/ or similar sites.
  
  

See what failed—and figure out why. Maybe you can do it better.

25. Make a Tiny Tool First

• Sometimes small tools unlock bigger ideas.
  
  

A simple habit tracker → evolves into a full wellness platform.

26. Watch “What’s On My Phone” Videos

• See what apps people use daily, especially influencers, freelancers, or niche professionals.
  
  

What’s missing? What’s clunky?

27. Mash Up Data Sources

• Combine two unrelated APIs or datasets to create something unexpected.
  
  

Example: Weather data + event listings → recommend best picnic days near you.

28. Seasonal or Event-Based Apps

• Think about temporary needs: tax season, back to school, holidays, elections, etc.
  
  

Example: A web app that generates spooky Halloween trivia games for classrooms.

29. Gamify Something Boring

• Take a dull task and turn it into a fun experience.
  
  

Example: Habit tracking with Pokémon-like leveling system.

30. Build Something Dumb On Purpose

• Silly ideas often go viral or spark better ones.
  
  

Example: Web app that randomly decides who in a group pays for lunch today.

Let me know your skills or target audience and I can help tailor ideas directly for you.

Dưới đây là một bản đồ tư duy toàn diện (mental map) về tất cả những con đường khả dĩ trong “vũ trụ này” để sinh ra webapp ideas. Mục tiêu không phải là liệt kê vài ý tưởng rời rạc, mà là xây một “idea engine”: từ đó bạn có thể tạo ra ý tưởng liên tục, có chiều sâu, và có khả năng thành sản phẩm thật.

Tôi chia thành 8 tầng tư duy, đi từ gốc rễ (nguồn ý tưởng) → phương pháp khai thác → cơ chế nâng cấp → cách không bao giờ cạn ý tưởng.

I. NGUỒN GỐC Ý TƯỞNG (Idea Sources – “Mỏ nguyên liệu”)

1. Pain (Nỗi đau – thứ luôn tồn tại)

Mọi webapp có giá trị đều bắt đầu từ pain.

Pain đến từ đâu?

• Tốn thời gian

• Tốn tiền

• Dễ sai

• Khó hiểu

• Không minh bạch

• Phụ thuộc con người

• Không real-time

• Không scale được

Cách đào pain:

• Nhìn vào quy trình có nhiều bước tay

• Hệ thống dùng Excel / Google Sheet

• Người dùng phải copy–paste

• Có nhiều “trung gian”

• Người dùng hỏi cùng một câu lặp lại

👉 Mỗi pain = ít nhất 1 webapp.

2. Friction (Ma sát – những thứ “khó chịu nhỏ”)

Khác pain lớn, friction là những thứ:

• Không ai chết vì nó

• Nhưng ai cũng ghét

Ví dụ:

• Phải đăng nhập nhiều lần

• File rải rác khắp nơi

• Không có một view tổng hợp

• Không biết “trạng thái hiện tại là gì”

Webapp giải friction thường:

• Dễ bán

• Dễ viral

• Dễ được dùng hằng ngày

3. Inefficiency (Kém hiệu quả)

Hỏi 3 câu:

1. Việc này có thể nhanh hơn 10x không?

2. Có thể giảm số bước xuống 1 không?

3. Có thể không cần con người không?

Nguồn cực mạnh:

• Back-office

• Operations

• Reporting

• Monitoring

• Compliance

• Reconciliation

4. Information Chaos (Loạn thông tin)

Con người đang:

• Quá nhiều dữ liệu

• Quá ít insight

Webapp sinh ra từ:

• Gom dữ liệu

• Chuẩn hóa

• Trực quan hóa

• So sánh

• Cảnh báo

👉 Dashboard, analytics, intelligence tools đều sinh từ đây.

II. PHƯƠNG PHÁP SINH Ý TƯỞNG (Idea Generators)

5. “X-Ray” Existing Products

Lấy bất kỳ sản phẩm nào và hỏi:

• Nó đang giả định điều gì?

• Nó bỏ qua ai?

• Nó đắt vì sao?

• Nó phức tạp vì sao?

Sau đó:

• Làm bản simpler

• Hoặc deeper

• Hoặc niche hơn

• Hoặc automation hơn

👉 80% startup thành công là “version tốt hơn của cái cũ”.

6. Verticalization (Niche hóa)

Công thức:

Generic tool + Industry-specific logic = Webapp mạnh

Ví dụ:

• CRM cho ngành X

• Analytics cho ngành Y

• Workflow cho ngành Z

Ngành nào cũng có:

• Quy định riêng

• Thuật ngữ riêng

• Nỗi đau riêng

Và SaaS chung không bao giờ cover hết.

7. Unbundling & Rebundling

• Unbundle: Tách 1 tính năng ra làm webapp riêng

• Rebundle: Gom nhiều tool rời rạc thành 1 platform

Hỏi:

• Người dùng đang dùng 5 tool cho 1 việc?

• Hay đang trả tiền cho 50 thứ nhưng chỉ dùng 3?

III. WAY TO “LEVEL UP” Ý TƯỞNG

8. Add Intelligence (AI / Logic / Rules)

Bất kỳ webapp nào cũng có thể nâng cấp bằng:

• Gợi ý

• Dự đoán

• Cảnh báo sớm

• Phát hiện bất thường

• Decision support

Không cần “AI hype”.
Chỉ cần:

“Giúp người dùng khỏi phải nghĩ ở bước này.”

9. Add Time Dimension

Thêm:

• Lịch sử

• Xu hướng

• So sánh theo thời gian

• What changed?

Time = insight.
Insight = giá trị.

10. Add Network Effects

Webapp mạnh hơn khi:

• Người dùng thấy nhau

• Dữ liệu của người này làm lợi cho người khác

• Có benchmark

• Có ranking

• Có comparison

IV. CÁCH TÌM Ý TƯỞNG TỪ CHÍNH BẢN THÂN

11. “Track Your Own Life”

Ghi lại:

• Việc bạn làm mỗi ngày

• Thứ làm bạn bực

• Thứ bạn automate bằng tay

• Thứ bạn dùng workaround

👉 Bạn chính là user zero tốt nhất.

12. Theo dõi “Power Users”

Ở đâu có power users:

• Reddit

• Discord

• Twitter/X

• GitHub Issues

• Forum chuyên ngành

Power users:

• Biết pain rất rõ

• Nói thẳng

• Muốn tool tốt hơn

V. CÁCH KHÔNG BAO GIỜ HẾT Ý TƯỞNG

13. Build Idea Pipeline (quan trọng)

Không “nghĩ ra idea rồi mới viết”.

Ngược lại:

• Luôn có backlog idea

• Mỗi idea có:

  • Pain

  • User

  • Existing alternative

  • “Why now?”

Ý tưởng chín theo thời gian.

14. Idea ≠ Startup

Một idea có thể là:

• Micro-SaaS

• Internal tool

• Side project

• Open source + paid layer

• API-first product

Không cần unicorn.

VI. META-PRINCIPLES (Luật nền)

1. Ý tưởng không rơi từ trời → nó được khai thác

2. Ý tưởng tốt thường nhàm chán

3. Thị trường “xấu xí” thường kiếm tiền tốt

4. Càng gần tiền → idea càng thật

5. Nếu bạn hiểu pain sâu → idea tự hiện ra

KẾT LUẬN NGẮN GỌN

Webapp ideas không nằm ở “sáng tạo”, mà nằm ở:

• Quan sát có hệ thống

• Tư duy decomposition

• Và khả năng nhìn thế giới như một chuỗi vấn đề chưa được giải tối ưu

Nếu bạn muốn, tôi có thể:

• Xây cho bạn 1 framework riêng để generate idea theo ngành bạn quan tâm

• Hoặc biến bất kỳ lĩnh vực nào thành 20–50 webapp ideas thực tế

• Hoặc giúp bạn đánh giá idea nào đáng build – idea nào bỏ

Chỉ cần nói rõ: bạn đang đứng ở đâu trong hành trình này.
