Ask HN: Idea already implemented by others. How to differentiate?
5 by varlock | 4 comments on Hacker News.
I've got an idea which I've been thinking to develop as a side project... until I discovered (here on HN, by the way) it's already been implemented. What would you do to differentiate the product? What steps would you follow? Or would you drop the ball altogether (hopefully not!)? For instance, from what I can see: - though the target audience is the same, it's live in a continent different than mine - so maybe I can play that card instead? - the pricing plans are all subscription-based, so I was thinking maybe I can introduce a "Pay as you go" tier, instead? I guess, my bottom-line question is: what dimensions would you (or did you) consider to differentiate your product?
