#12Hey, I built something similar to this a while ago. Find it at http://openthought.herokuapp.com/ Figured you might want to see it. I am also 16.

Technically yes. If I knew how to hide that I would. But seriously, I have enough ideas on my mind, I don't need yours.

#14I like the idea, but I don't see any reason why I should have to register before playing around with the app a bit. Let the user submit ideas and only require registration when they want to create their own private "bin".
The point of the app is to list your ideas. The user must register in order for the app to know which ideas belong to them.
And that's fine, assuming the user wants the app to know which ideas belong to them. From a UX standpoint, it's so much better to let the user kick the tires before requiring them to register.

#15Alex, you should seriously consider making this an iPhone app. You're probably aware of how much more your peers are into mobile (instagram? tumblr? etc). Additionally, I personally find the iPhone to be an amazing tool for ideation.
+1 for this. I'm a big fan of the pocket notebook. Having this as an iphone app is a natural extension of that idea.

Nice! Our apps are definitely very similar (actually the same). I really like the prompt you are given when you want to delete an idea. It's very... bold.
What is it built with? How does Heroku work?

Where would the idea be assigned if it doesn't know who the user is?

Yeah I like storing my ideas on my phone too. I'm hardly ever near a computer when a lightbulb turns on! I use noted! http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/noted!/id504164257?ls=1&m...
Follows the same keep it simple stuff but with better tracking than the iphone notes app.

Didn't want people deleting their stuff accidentally. Built it with Rails. Click the "Github" link at the bottom to see the source. Heroku is really smooth (though expensive) Rails hosting. It's a little like magic.
