#92Ideas are a dime a dozen, execution is key.
This, and not only the development of the product, but marketing, distribution, payments, accounting, legal, etc.
I can't count the number of times someone came to me with an idea, suggesting I would do all the work, and we would split it 50/50. "What are you going to do?" "I had the idea." No thanks.
The funniest is when they want me to sign some sort of NDA. Nah.

#95Hi are the ideas supposed to be anonymous? because you are leaking everyone's names, just by opening network tab.

#96So the game is to add something controversial but not stupid enough to be obvious satire right?
I went with "a captcha where you match surveillance footage to mugshots to help solve crime"

#97Earlier quoted context omitted.
Bat bombs (bombs full of bats with time-delayed releases of napalm) were developed in World War II.
Documented in Harvard professor Louis Fieser's autobiographical The Scientific Method: A Personal Account of Unusual Projects in War and in Peace https://library.sciencemadness.org/library/books/the_scienti... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Fieser

#98> “A communist cosmetic surgery that takes good looking parts of faces and gives them to those in need.” Great idea, Hollywood first!

#99Hi are the ideas supposed to be anonymous? because you are leaking everyone's names, just by opening network tab.
Hey, i didn't decide on this yet. Initially i added the author names on the card so people can see who the idea came from and authors possibly get a little bit of credit.
But then i thought maybe some people are too shy to give their name away so it's best to remove them.
I was still in dilemma, so removed it from the UI but not from the api reponses ( will do it now )
In future, i'll just add an option in the profile, so you can choose to show your name if you want to

#100Ideas are a dime a dozen, execution is key.
I 100% agree and believe the same.
Execution is 99%, and the idea is just 1%. But you still need that 1% to start in the first place.
The site is just there to help you achieve that 1%.
In the end, the execution is on to you :)
