How did you come up with your startup idea?

Hey everyone,

I’m a developer with a full-time job and a lot of free time, looking to start my own venture. I’m curious about how those of you who are currently working on a startup or side project developed your ideas. Did you discover your concept through research, or did it arise naturally from a problem you encountered? Also, if there are specific resources, websites, or subreddits that helped you in this process, I’d love to hear about them. Thanks for sharing your experiences!
