@minimaxir Oh shucks, you gave away our secret sauce! On a more serious note, we will ensure that the demographic targeting is 100% legitimate, from real people.

Sockpuppeting is not "secret sauce", it's spam .

@minimaxir: Not sure where you got the idea that we will do anything like that. We're building a legitimate service to help people validate their ideas, not build a trojan horse to piss off users.

With our service, we'll be able to help you save time and money, and help you ascertain whether your idea is worth pursuing.

what kind of ideas would you allow validating? Also, can you upload an image if it's difficult to explain something in words?

@designforpeople: Any idea that you can think of. The goal being that we save you the time and money of having to: 1. Creating a wireframe / design / mockup, or 2. Creating a "Minimum viable product" or prototype

Yes, you should be able to upload files, though we don't intend to become another "usability" testing service. We are focused on the "idea on the back of a napkin" problem.
