I've been subscribed to Houston for a few weeks now and I absolutely love it.
Smart and thought-provoking problems explained in a tweet-size package.
Highly recommend for entrepreneurs, indie hackers, and anyone who's curious about new opportunities and problems to solve.
Keep up the good work guys!

I like overall idea of getting problems/ideas delivered to my inbox and found myself browsing through some of your previous newsletter mails.
What kept me from subscribing: It would be cool if these problems were backed by some data instead of seeming like "random" thoughts. This would make it easier to judge the potential market. As the problems are phrased as "I hate", "I wish", "I really want" the mails read like a list of personal problems instead of a more researched list. If you change the wording and add some data it would make it seem more high-quality to me 👍
Good luck with the project, I dig the name!

@dferber90 Ah thanks for the great feedback! We agree that we could improve the format and we're working on system to make the problems more consistent based on common patterns that we see.
Also we want to add more data to the problem (things like market opportunity, current solutions, etc.) but we're building a separate site for that because it's hard to deliver via newsletter(:

Hi everyone! So today we decided to launch Houston - a weekly newsletter where we curate interesting problems for makers to solve. This is a side project that my friend Eduardo and I started to work on during the weekends and a lot of friends and some strangers have found it useful so we wanted to share it with the broader PH community.
We're currently tinkering with a web app version of Houston but for now we would love if you could check out our newsletter and provide us any feedback you might have. This is our first time launching anything on PH and it's super exciting(:
Fyi we're calling it Houston as in "Houston, we'have a problem". We thought it was clever ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
