This is really well done and hope you continue to grow this. Any plans to facilitate/setup up user interviews with these businesses? I think this could easily be a paid feature.

@sidviswanathan I'd love to understand what you were you envisioning. Did you mean user interviews with these customers as they use the software they've mentioned or something else?

Great idea and nice website! I wonder how do you persuade people to give you all that information? Just publishing their interviews on your website and adding their link?
@ddouble7 Hi Dario! Thanks for checking it out! We just reached out to folks in the community who were simply willing to help us learn more and answer our questions. If we do end up getting a lot of traffic to the site, they will get some publicity for their business as well! Does that answer your question?

@realericlu Sorry if I could be slightly invasive, based on what criteria - if there is a criteria - do you select business and how do you find? I guess at some stage you might want business to contact you for an interview, if you get good traffic... I feel like I am interviewing you now, sorry :) ! Again, great website (already in my bookmarks), I like to read these stories, there is always something to learn.
Hi all!
Big thanks to Andrew for the hunt!
🚀🚀 Excited to launch Normal Software, a website about software in businesses outside of tech. Take a look to get some ideas, find new interesting problems, and learn from cool entrepreneurs in other industries 😸😸 eric and I had a lot of fun talking to a walnut farmer and pillow maker and many more in the last couple of weeks - hope you enjoy!
Happy normal needfinding 💭

@juliaenthoven cool site - like a Siftery for non-tech, with some extra stories behind the companies. I feel like someone could even dive down deeper, specifically targeting the restaurant/quick service industry!!!
Such a cool concept! Thanks for taking the time to build this. Sometimes it feels like tech is in its own little world, but with this it'll be easier to explore a new planet filled with "normal" humans. We come in peace. 👽
@imakestrides thanks Kyle! Julia and I definitely feel that there is a disconnect between the tech bubble and the world that many of these businesses operate in. And these businesses do as well! It was really fun for us to work to bridge the gap. Glad you like it!
Really pumped that someone finally made a platform like this. Love how it not only talks about technology problems/solutions needed for these companies, but also highlights the software currently being used. Normal Software already has some really interesting content (really like the Triple Summit Advisors post) and looking forward to seeing this platform blossom!
@edward_lee2 Thanks Edward! Glad you enjoyed - the content was all based on conversations with awesome entrepreneurs outside of tech. Triple Summit is an awesome firm!

This is fantastic. I agree that developers and people in the tech sphere can sometimes be blind to really normal, "boring" every day problems. Great stuff!
