Found my business idea already out there
I had an idea for what I thought (and still think) would be a great monetizeable service. It was different enough from anything I had ever seen I this space that I was excited to work on it.<p>After I developed the idea a bit, while doing some research, I found the service already. It&#x27;s exactly my idea down to the finest detail that I can see. It looks like it&#x27;s been around for a few years without crazy success (I hadn&#x27;t heard of it and didn&#x27;t find it that easily).<p>The question is, do I take this as an indication that it&#x27;s a waste of time, or should I take it as vindication of my idea and go for it?<p>If I had anything about my idea that was better I would be happy. But they appear to have thought of all the clever details that I thought would make it work. Id make it look different and would market it more aggressively, but I&#x27;d be building substantially a clone of what they have.<p>Technologically it&#x27;s pretty straightforward and wouldn&#x27;t be a massive investment of time.<p>Whats your advice?
