Hi HN! I made a really quick web app to help people validate their ideas.

The app is a simple landing page builder, but every page includes a really simple Yes/No "Are You Interested?" poll.

Every vote is recorded and tracked, and if they click yes they are brought to a page where they can submit an email.

This makes validating ideas super easy because you can post your link to different communities and get statistically significant results as well as build an email list.

Given an hour, you could easily create 50 different landing pages and be able to validate your ideas in bulk.

The site (click Sign Up in top right - no cc needed): https://areyouinterested.co

Example landing page (Built in https://areyouinterested.co/site/pals-insurance

Looks cool! The pricing page doesn't include how long the free trial lasts and the $7 listed there doesn't match the $9 on the Stripe-hosted renewal page.

How do you prevent people stealing other’s ideas? I feel it’s risky to post your possibly-millions-worth business idea in the Internet.

You'll need to validate at some point! We don't publicly display any of our user's ideas, so your idea can stay as private or be as public as you want. If you just want to validate with a few people, just sent it to a few people!

Thanks! The pricing page should be updated now, thanks for letting us know!

Everyone has ideas. Success is about execution. If your business model is threatened by someone merely hearing about it, you're doing something wrong.
