  Just curious on what’s the best way to do market research for the product
This is tricky - there is no one right answer. I would start by building something that you need ("scratch your own itch" as some people say). It's much easier to build the right thing when you need that thing.

But also good to "sanity check" your instincts by checking in with people whom you respect and whom you think will understand the market better than you (which is what my parent comment is trying to get at).



Hey I totally agree with you and thanks for the advise I really appreciate as I’m currently early in my career and have been thinking about alot of ideas just need to put those ideas into execution and try to see what works and what doesn’t
