I'm a CTO but have been flirting with building some fun, free side projects. I figured why not build poker tools since I love the game!

Any threads here on what people have been working on? Any threads on tools people want? Completely open to suggestions!

I'm not sure what you're after? Having someone else tell you what poker tools you should make?

No, I'm a programmer and am looking for ideas as to what people want!

That's more or less what I said.

I would read poker forums and listen to what poker players want, or what they seem to be missing, and go from there. It'll go a lot better, though, if *you* know what you want and what needs to be done. Some of the worst software projects I've worked with have been made by people who were not the target audience.

Where I think he might have gone wrong is:
-Asking on the programmers subforum: This is a question that is addressed to regular players.
-Asking what tools they need: Instead ask what problems they have. Then you can ask programmes what tools could solve that problem, or figure it out yourself.

I definitely agree about asking about problems instead of solutions first.
