If you’re building something and people’s first response is “Doesn’t this already exist?” that might be a good sign.
It’s hard to find things that actually are good (as opposed to just seeming good), and if you succeed, there ought to be some story for why no one else got there first.
Sometimes that story might be:
People want X. A thing existed which called itself “X”, so everyone assumed X already existed. If you look close enough, “X” is actually pretty different from X, but from a distance they blend together; causing people looking for ideas to look elsewhere.
