After lurking on hn for a while, i decided to make my dream site exist, so here it is-- a site where people can post their ideas and have people with time build them.
I'd appreciate any feedback or criticism, thanks!
Ask HN: review my site: somebodybuildthis.com

#2The structure and layout look nice, but you need to seed the site with more content. I'd suggest that you use a bunch of friends to start with, and go from there.

#4Nice idea (heh), maybe pinch some top-rated ideas from http://halfbakery.com (with attribution) to kick things off a bit.

#5The layout could use a bit more work. There is a lot of wasted space on a wide browser and the main body hides if I shrink my browser window to much.
I registered for an account, but it didn't not automatically log me in. Not a huge deal, but little things add up. Then after I logged in, it kept me on the login page. You should redirect to the home page.
I like the idea. I think there have a been a number of posts both here at HN and other places basically saying, here is an idea for someone, or someone solve my problem. I would find those and use that to help populate it.
One feature/benefit that would be useful is to find how who liked/wanted the idea. Perhaps there needs to be 2 types of voting. 1 vote is 'that is a cool idea' the second is 'I would buy this now if it existed'. The second feedback is much more valuable than the first.

Sorry about the signup and display- i'll fix those immediately.
Great idea for multiple voting too.
Thanks :-)

#8Good idea. Would it not make sense to have them categorized by language. I would really like to know what requires to be done in my language of choice.
I actually have a lot of time, and have been working on open source projects that people liked but no one seems to actually need, so this really would be helpful for me.

I like that idea(heh), maybe in addition to categories? So you could select "View all tools in python" or "View all apps in javascript" or just "View all apps"/"View all ruby".
Thanks for the review.
