#2I have read many HN posts over the years from people who have difficulty in coming up with ideas. I am sure that some of them would be delighted to read about some of your ideas.
Personally I come up with lots of ideas that are impractical, non-commercial, too much like something that already exists. But I have difficulty in coming up with ideas that address a common specific need and are feasible and are likely to be commercially viable.

#3Why don't you share some of those ideas that you do not plan to execute? I have read many HN posts over the years from people who have difficulty in coming up with ideas. I am sure that some of them would be delighted to read about some of your ideas. Personally I come up with lots of ideas that are impractical, non-commercial, too much like something that already exists. But I have difficulty in coming up with ideas…
I agree that once a month is possibly too often, but I think it's a shame because the threads used to generate discussion. They weren't just idea-dumps.
They were also useful because someone would say "I think this is an idea" and someone else would suggest an existing product.

Every now and again someone suggests an "ideas monthly" thread, but mods are strongly against this. I agree that once a month is possibly too often, but I think it's a shame because the threads used to generate discussion. They weren't just idea-dumps. They were also useful because someone would say "I think this is an idea" and someone else would suggest an existing product.
Would it be possible to have "Ideas shared with HN" prefix?
