I would try and find a problem to solve instead of solving it in a way a company already has.

illmakeit49y@nblackburn While I understand what you're saying, it's quite difficult to get users to use your product when you're solving the same problem that their software does. Most software these days are simply reimplementing the same software with slightly better features, not drastically changing them. Take Slack vs any other IRC client for example.

@illmakeit I think you misunderstood, you are fine to create something inspired by something else but tackle it from a different angle not just built on top of it.
