But how do you determine which apps are worth building? The key is to identify opportunities where an app can deliver strong value to customers &#8211; whether by solving significant pain points, streamlining workflows, or unlocking new efficiencies that companies are willing to pay for.<\/p>\n<p>To help you find your next great monday app idea, we\u2019ve compiled some of the best ways to research and identify high-potential opportunities. These methods can also help validate your existing ideas by assessing demand, user interest, and feasibility before investing time and resources into development.<\/p>\n<h3>1. Engage with the monday.com user communities<\/h3>\n<p>One of the best ways to understand user needs is to go where monday.com customers are actively discussing their challenges. If multiple users are complaining about the same issue, they\u2019ve identified a market for you.<\/p>\n<p>Some key places to explore include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/mondaydotcom\/groups\"><b>Facebook groups<\/b><\/a>: monday.com manages several official groups where users ask questions, share best practices, and discuss frustrations. Observing recurring issues in these groups can help identify gaps that an app could solve.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/community.monday.com\/c\/platform-discussions\/6\"><b>monday.com community forums<\/b><\/a>: The official community is where power users live and discuss workflows, troubleshooting, and share best practices. Look for common problems that could be addressed with an app.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/mondaydotcom\/\"><b>Reddit (r\/mondaydotcom)<\/b><\/a><b>:<\/b> The subreddit is another valuable space where you can look for the raw, unfiltered truth &#8211; users share their experiences, seek advice, and discuss limitations they encounter with the platform.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>2. Leverage feature requests for validation and inspiration<\/h2>\n<p>monday.com users regularly post requests for features, and these can be a goldmine for app ideas.<\/p>\n<p>By <a href=\"https:\/\/community.monday.com\/c\/feature-requests\/7\/none\">exploring the Feature Requests<\/a> section, you can:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Identify popular needs <\/b>&#8211; Look at upvoted requests to see what users want most. The more votes, the bigger the pain point.<\/li>\n<li><b>Measure demand<\/b> &#8211; Requests with significant traction indicate a strong market need.<\/li>\n<li><b>Check roadmap alignment<\/b> &#8211; The monday.com product team reviews requests and updates when features are added to the roadmap. If a high-demand feature isn\u2019t planned, this could be your opportunity to build an app around it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>3. Analyze automation &amp; integration trends<\/h2>\n<p>Businesses will duct tape together whatever it takes to get work done. And if they can\u2019t do it natively, they turn to third-party integration platforms like Zapier and Make.com to connect monday.com with other tools they use.<\/p>\n<p>By examining popular integrations in these platforms, you can:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Identify external tools that are frequently integrated with monday.com but lack a deep, more sophisticated integration &#8211; this might be your next app.<\/li>\n<li>Spot workflows that are being automated over and over. If a process needs constant workarounds, a native app could save users time &#8211; and make you money.<\/li>\n<li>Discover custom workflows that are complex and could be simplified with an app.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>4. Review monday.com feedback on G2 &amp; Capterra<\/h2>\n<p>Software review platforms like G2 and Capterra provide unfiltered user feedback on monday.com.<\/p>\n<p>What to look for:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Recurring complaints topics <\/b>&#8211; If a pain point keeps showing up in reviews, it\u2019s not a fluke &#8211; it\u2019s a business opportunity.<\/li>\n<li><b>Feature expectations vs. reality<\/b> &#8211; What are users expecting but not getting? Maybe you\u2019ll be the one to address it.<\/li>\n<li><b>Industry-specific gaps<\/b> &#8211; Are certain sectors struggling more than others? That\u2019s your niche market.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Want to see these strategies in action?<\/strong> Learn <a href=\"https:\/\/monday.com\/appdeveloper\/blog\/build-30k-saas-monday-marketplace\/\">how a solo-entrepreneur built a $30K MRR business on the monday marketplace<\/a> by identifying real user pain points, validating demand, and scaling fast.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ready to build?<\/strong> Use these insights to explore opportunities, validate your ideas, and develop an app that drives real value for users, helps you scale your business, and maximizes your success in the marketplace.
