> The gaps seem very teeny-tiny

That's how all markets start. Every product or startup needs to start off as a very targeted application because otherwise you will drown in complexity and lack of strategy, but with a forward facing vision on how to expand into adjacent problem spaces.

$TECHNOLOGICAL_APPLICATION for $SPECIFIC_INDUSTRY is always the best method to start building out a product, and expanding from there.

> Is finding gaps just hard now

No.

You might just not be looking hard enough. Try and find specific problems in a domain you are very experienced in.

Also be open to pivot if needed. For example, Slack started off as a chat-app within a failed videogame.
