There are so many apps, the market is saturated...

I was doing some market research for a few of my app ideas, and wow, I found so many similar apps to my ideas that I almost thought I was crazy. It put me in a bad mood since, for basically every idea I had, I found there were already tons of very good apps available in the App Store. The keyword research was also brutal.

But then, in the evening, the MacStories Selects 2024 article came out, and I read it. I noticed that many of the apps featured on the list are part of saturated markets (like PDF scanner apps, save-for-later apps or movie tracker apps, etc.). This gave me hope that if my solution solves a real-world problem, I should still build it.
