There are a lot of people across the globe, who have seen problems and issues, be it at a local scale, national scale or worldwide scale. The solutions that they can offer to such problems or the ideas that they can provide to solve issues or enhance existing tools or products could be of great importance.
We have seen people say and criticize the government or any concerned authority for certain loopholes in a system or product. They often have an opinion about how that particular thing could be improved or modified to cater for the needs efficiently. But how often do we see these ideas being implemented?
LikeMinds provides a platform where people from all backgrounds, whether a school kid or an experienced old aged person can state the problems he/she confronts in day-to-day life (or any general issue) and can even write the desired change and solution needed for the same. The LikeMinds community would acknowledge the same by validating the problem statement and if someone is interested in assisting the person to solve the issue, say through physical help or at a professional level, using creativity and development skills, he/she can directly contact the concerned person and start working on the same. For example, a person on LikeMinds posts a solution under the topic of environmental change and he/she needs some capital investment to gather volunteers to work for the cause. Any other person in the LikeMinds Community could acknowledge the problem and wish to collaborate int the matter. Now say person A also needs to create a website in order to promote the movement. If any freelancer or web developer is interested in the same, he/she can contact person A by showing interest in the same.
Further scopes:
• The intent to monetize the website, and enable users to earn for every valuable contribution is promising.
• Interest from big corporations can enhance the trustworthiness and scalability of the system.
