After jumping from idea to idea and not executing on any of those ideas I decided to go with this one. I feel that I finally have to start something and stop being a wantrepreneur. This thread will serve to keep myself accountable and hopefully receive some advice.
My introduction post ---> Introduction - A bit late, but here it is...
One of the biggest problems that farmers face with is putting their produce on the market. This is a HUGE problem within the agriculture industry. They struggle to market and sell the product and they often underprice their goods because of lack of information.
The idea is to create a web platform which will connect farmers to buyers and make it easier for them to sell their crops. It will enable users to post their crops to the website so that the buyers can contact them if they want to buy. Also, buyers will be able to post ads for goods they're looking for which will inform farmers about demand and which crops to plant for the next year.
When there's a match between a buyer and a seller, farmers will receive SMS notifications with buyers' contact info. This is crucial because a large part of the market consists of older people who don't know/want to use a computer.
My biggest challenge now is building the platform. I started learning Ruby on Rails and I'll approach it as @MJ DeMarco suggests - learning on a problem by problem basis.
