Direct Quote

"You can run it on your device and it will automatically, as you take photos, back it up to your own server."

Market Gap

Users are concerned about privacy with cloud photo storage services.

With increasing awareness of data privacy, many users are concerned about how their photos are stored and who has access to them. Current cloud storage solutions like Google Photos and iCloud often have unclear data policies, leading to anxiety about data misuse and privacy breaches. Users may want to retain control over their data and avoid potential misuse or unwanted surveillance. For many, the convenience of these services comes at the cost of personal privacy, making it essential to find secure alternatives.

Summary

The idea is to create a privacy-focused photo storage app that allows users to back up their photos directly to their own devices or a self-hosted server. This app could utilize open-source technology similar to Image (I-M-M-I-C-H), which offers features like automatic photo backup, face detection, and geotagging while ensuring user data remains private. By providing a user-friendly interface reminiscent of popular platforms, this solution could appeal to those looking for both convenience and security in managing their photo collections.

How should I validate this saas idea before building it?

2:34 PM

Great question! For a saas idea like this, I'd recommend starting with these validation steps:

  1. Customer interviews: Talk to Generalist to understand their pain points
  2. MVP approach: Build a simple landing page to test demand
  3. Competitor analysis: Research existing solutions and identify gaps

Would you like me to help you create a specific validation plan for your medium difficulty idea?

2:35 PM

Yes, and what about the technical implementation? Should I build this myself or hire a team?

2:36 PM

Based on your idea's complexity and 3-6 months, here's my recommendation:

Technical Strategy:

  • Start with no-code tools for rapid prototyping
  • Consider your technical background and available $1,000-$10,000
  • Plan for scalability from day one

I can help you create a detailed technical roadmap and resource allocation plan...
