Cool sites - I like this idea of sharing concepts and getting feedbacks. One other larger one is producthunt.co. I'd be curious to see a full list if you happen to do some more competitive research!
There are many sites like this, here's a list I started: http://appworthy.co/alternatives

Nice! I had never heard of this website... Indeed, very similar!

#24I don't mean to alarm you, but I think http://medium.com stole your design.
Re: Show HN: A website to pitch your new startup ideas
#25I have a couple of thoughts. 1. I don't have a twitter account. 2. I found it strange that the landing page didn't have any pitched ideas. To see an idea, I had to read the bottom text, and click on one of the countries. I didn't know those were links at first either. 3. Can ppl only pitch the title of their idea? Is there a description or something.

#26I've been playing with a similar idea - http://appworthy.co One thing I've done on my site is abandon passwords. Authentication is by email (if you can receive a link you can "sign in" once with it - thereafter cookies). This avoids the need to ask for permission (to tweet for me? really?) up front. Users can start reading and posting without giving up anything but their email. This is not a new idea, but I think it…
Your auth is pretty clever to minimize the barrier to entry.
Yet, I thought Twitter could be an interesting channel for my app and decided to build my website on top of it.

Re: Show HN: A website to pitch your new startup ideas
#28Recent ideas should be more prominent. Probably show the latest ten on the main page, then a link for more.
Plus a huge (red) button to pitch a new idea in the front page.

#29Seriously, why would any one sign in without even knowing what it would contain. Put some samples atleast.
You can view examples by clicking the links at the bottom of the page like here: http://www.gopitch.me/ideas/all
Again, there are reasons for the things you are doing - I understand this. And there are ways to get around your block - but take the feedback.
If one person says it here, it means that dozens had the same reaction and just decided not to voice it.

#30Thumbs down for the twitter login. Recent ideas should be more prominent. Probably show the latest ten on the main page, then a link for more. Plus a huge (red) button to pitch a new idea in the front page.
