Title: I have background in software development.  At job I mostly do ETL and work with Hadoop ecosystem.
I am trying to learn web development starting with a simple framework to become full stack developer.<p>My intent is also to finish a side project and start a side income.  However, every single idea I am coming up is already tried by someone else.<p>How do I differentiate my development work if -<p>1. Someone is already offering same product and has paid customers ?<p>2. If market is thinly spread is it worth developing another product in same niche ?<p>3. Most of the product that I see now-a-days are selling data. Many SaaS companies I see have grabbed data and selling it one form or another with monthly &#x2F; yearly plans and give access to API.<p>What you think of this model of selling data ? Is it worth pursuing given that there are already N players competing for customers.<p>Thanks !
