About
Hello! My journey into startups began in 7th grade, fueled by chats and audiobooks about entrepreneurship with my dad during rides to school. I ventured into entrepreneurship aiming for a CEO title. Soon, I discovered my love for solving genuine problems over pushing "innovative" products. I founded NambaDoctor to bridge the digital gap in India's healthcare. Now, with Yem, I'm reshaping news, making it a truly personal experience. Throughout this journey, I've relished crafting simple solutions to intriguing problems and trying to turn them into impactful ventures.

the death of innovation?
Lately, I've been scrolling through product hunt and I notice a bunch of recycled ideas. Sales AI, Email AI, AI Website creator, a revolutionary product management tool, and don't even get me started on the chatbots. All ideas we've seen before. Is this the death of innovation? I remember when this place used to be a launchpad for some of the most groundbreaking products and ideas but recently I've been getting a sense of d j vu. It feels like we're seeing different versions of the same concept, repackaged with a new UI and a catchy name. Are we playing it too safe, sticking to tried-and-tested formulas instead of building hard shit? What are your thoughts? Are we in an innovation lull, or am I just being nostalgic?
Does anyone else find that telling people about your projects makes you not build them?
I have recently been realizing that keeping a project under the wraps for a while makes it more likely that I'll finish a project rather vs when I tell my friends about a project in the early stages. Anyone else notice this? Or is there value to telling other people before you build something? I wrote some more thoughts down here and am curious to hear what you guys think: https://danielfarrell.substack.c...
