Doing a project with my retired father
3 comments
Your father may be retired but he's not yet braindead. He is a person, he has needs, friends, interests and he moves in a different circles to you. It would be in your interest to tap this information - find out what the pain points in his circles are and develop products for those.
As a rule of thumb older people tend to spend a lot of time and money on procuring chronic medication.
There are many other opportunities which you may not be aware of, but your father may be aware of.
Try that first...
Actually my father is in great physical shape. he runs, goes to the gym and rides his bike on a daily base.
the reason he wants to do this is to make another lucrative activity.
the question is more about the kind of services that might be lucrative, with one person operating the site.

Sounds like a great idea. Think its important he has a genuine interest in what it is he'll be doing, if possible. Maybe have your Dad note down all the things he finds clunky on the web for the next fortnight and build something to help him out, something he can have input in and use to help and sell to others.
What sort of hobbies does he have? You could try and start a shop or expert site around that subject.
Do you have any other ideas?
