Idea: Roku for negative(s)

Description

This project could be an app or platform that curates and aggregates negative reviews and criticisms of movies, shows, and products, akin to a Roku app but focused on negative experiences. The Minimum Viable Product (MVP) could include a simple interface that allows users to enter search terms (movies, shows, etc.) and receive a list of negative reviews sourced from various platforms like Rotten Tomatoes, IMDB, or social media. Users could also submit their own negative experiences or opinions, creating a community-driven content element.

Rating Descriptions

Business: This idea has solid potential as it taps into a niche market of consumers who seek to avoid poorly-rated entertainment or products. With the growing trend of transparency and critical opinions online, a platform focusing on negatives could attract users wanting to be more informed before making decisions.

Learning: This project offers immense learning opportunities in web or app development, data scraping or API integration, user-generated content management, and understanding market needs. Building the platform would teach you valuable technical skills while also developing your insight into customer behavior and product validation.

SideProject: While the concept isn't overly complex, building a functional, user-friendly platform might take more than a week, especially to source and present reviews, which would require data integration and possibly some content moderation.
