There should be a way to suggest/tag an existing solution (to generate conversation -- why is their solution better?)

This seems like a good way to help people collaborate and not re-invent the wheel, unless there's a compelling reason / competitive advantage / unique value proposition.

it doesn't seem to be working. it's stuck on a "do you want to delete this idea" opened in front of a "congratulations! we wish you the best of luck" opened in front of "after you click launch..." (at this point, I stopped deleting div elements to find out what's behind dialog number 2)

Interestingly, I had a similar idea some weeks ago. In addition to checking if your ideas are worth stealing it could also be used to connect people with similar ideas.

Then I tried to find a solution to the "good ideas will get stolen" issue and lost interest since I could not find a solution that would not involve a repulsive amount of cryptography.

Would love to hear other people take on this, though.

interesting concept, but I'm always worried that submitting ideas to a site like this will result in the good ones being stolen, if not by the website owner then by the users.

I tried to do exactly that. But the only idea that I'd implement was "elevtr io".
