I think people who want to view ideas should pay instead of people who submit ideas.

In reality, people won’t pay for things they say they will; it’s cheap rhetoric to try to get maintainers to add their niche feature. Nice idea though, maybe add some more data sources to increase confidence in data (and hopefully prove me wrong).

I’m surprised to see the previous six comments being negative. There’s nothing wrong with building a simple, potentially useful service and charging for it upfront. This is actually a great example of how you should test such ideas. Congratulations - and the market validation journey has just begun. Cheers!
