Would you be willing to give a few examples of such products if I messaged you separately?

Yes, exactly. I am not having second thoughts, which is not a good sign. Basically, I am looking to make something that people use - may not be necessarily in the travel domain.

No, I think I would not only depend on users but they will have an option to put in data. I think initially I would have to scrape data, put some seed data myself, etc. But let's assume that the data is in fact there, then this aims to be a short trip/weekend getaway recommendation website. Is that something someone would want to use? Ofcourse, please don't give away your focus. Though I don't think it matters because generally no one wants to build someone else's idea :) So I just want opinions here on what a good travel site should do. I was initially thinking that this website I propose could get popular but now I am thinking - hey, anyone can google 'places around me for weekend getaways' and get a lot of links, etc.

Specifically, do you think this would work? https://github.com/vaibkv/weekend-whats-up-app

There's nothing in there yet, just a readme but do you think if I make it users will come?

It's an interesting point you bring up - no street cred and actually that's the whole basis of my question here. Given no 'street cred', how do we get our first clients. And your comment makes sense but then we do have industry experience working in 'big firms'. Maybe we can leverage that in some way? I mean what all can we do to have some street cred before actually having a first client? What do you think? Any street smart ways to do that? :)

Sounds like good advise - make a big enough potential client base and always keep in touch! Thanks for your reply.

Thanks for your reply. Healthacare is definitely something I can explore.
