#2Pretty useful. Suggestion based on me looking at this on a phone (I'm unsure how this looks on desktop!) - left align the titles and the copy for each section. Would make the list much easier to scan. Well done for releasing!

Readability could go a long way on desktop.
Advice:
- Make two text columns vertically.
- Chose better colours. Either learn colour readability, or pick a palette from a generator.

#4Very cool. Just too bad ideas don’t matter and execution is everything!
I wish the world has more people with technical chops and less “idea guys.” Knowledge of customer and ability to build the minimum viable product is worth more than 100k ideas.

Well, that's why we all should build yet another calculator or weather app for Android.

Agree, on the desktop the readability is also quite poor. And you seem to have some issues in the CSS, as gigantic icons appear while loading.
Keep it simple, align to the left and put some margins to center the content.

Never bought into how that saying diminishes the value of good ideas, particularly that of a unique domain-specific insight. I'm rarely excited by "the new Facebook" or "like X, but with AI", but when I hear someone say something like "an app that creates layouts for solar plants, saving energy consultants hundreds hours of work", that tickles my senses.
That's a real example from a meetup I went to the other day. Two solar engineers who were tired of drawing these solar plant plans and realized a computer would do it faster and better. They're killing it.
Many software engineers rely on domain experts to come along with good ideas to execute on. Maybe ideas matter immensely after all.

Ideas alone don't matter.
That saying exists to deter procrastination, obsession with being first, being secret and other mistakes people make.
But ideas do matter. Google AdWords' bidding model was an idea (I think overture had the first quality implementation at scale). That idea was/is responsible for adding 0s to Google's as income.

Ideas don't matter (assuming the set of ideas you're choosing among are roughly equal in quality, and that the average quality of the set is well above outright stupidity).
Which is to say, ideas matter a lot, but no one who subscribes to the saying has ever noticed that they're auto-rejecting bad and terrible ideas constantly, and have also never had a great idea.

As I normally to say. If execution is all that matters your ideas arent good enough.
There are plenty of good executioners out there who dont succeed because their idea or timing isnt good enough.
Good ideas give you something to strive for, something to think alongside i would say good ideas is the very reason a team execute well in most cases.
