#32Can you tell me where and how did you host your site?
I really want to host one but cannot find any cheap way

Agreed. I don't have Twitter nor Facebook. Stop making those the only way to log in.

#34Thumbs 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.
I like the Twitter login. Just a data point.

I have no idea why this is required. Why add friction to posting? Email + password + confirm password seems like the best idea, with Twitter as a separate option.

I didn't terribly mind having to use Twitter for signup.
As soon as you asked for my email AS WELL, I could no longer be bothered to click through - the only value of 3rd-party login is not having to give you my email address.

#37Seriously, 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
I didn't realize that "France", "USA", and "anywhere else" were links until you mentioned so right here. You should make these links distinctive from the rest of the text without the need of having to hover over them so that they are more obvious.

#38My 2 cents: I've thought about doing this exact thing before...then I realized it's like giving other people free ideas. Isn't this just the perfect place for others to steal your stuff? What're you gonna do if that happens? I would never post a good idea publicly, just asking for competition you probably can't afford to have.

#39Earlier quoted context omitted.
Nice! I had never heard of this website... Indeed, very similar!
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!
This is why I don't like posting my product ideas publicly for anyone who searches keywords. If I give away all the details of my implementation, I could be helping someone else who is doing "competitor research." If I don't give the details, then my idea sounds incomplete or just like everyone else's idea in that space. No matter how many articles I read on HN that ideas are worthless, I still feel reluctant posting my best ideas on a site like that.
But I have a solution. It's called Indie Developer Club (see my profile for link). All the meetings are small with less than 10 people. You can show off a pre-release demo or talk about the specifics of your project, but you aren't posting it for the world to see. So you get some feedback but you don't have to worry about a competitor Googling you.

This point has been discussed into the ground before, but in general, ideas mean nothing. I've had many million dollar ideas: I know because I've seen them in the marketplace. No execution, no value. Also, most people aren't the precious little butterfly they think they are: someone has had their idea before.
