On Ideas Sharing

Ideas are powerful , they are a fundamental part of development, most modern development start from a powerful and awesome idea. Most people think that they have awesome ideas, and many do indeed have awesome ideas, thing the is, most people don't act on their ideas. which is a waste.

Some people cite a lack of interest, doubting the popularity or viability of their ideas even when they may be perfectly sound ideas. These are the ideas that are buried everyday as unique individuals decide to abandon them after a few brief moments of thought.

The thing is, it does not have to be this way. Several sites like IndieGoGo and Kick Starter have proven that crazy ideas that are built by a team of passionate individuals can indeed inspire enough confidence in the public to get people to buy-in to their ideas based on their ideas and some credentials and also maybe some rewards.

Although Kick Starter and IndieGoGo have created an avenue for established professionals in their own fields who have had a great idea and allowed them to actually pitch and put together a team to build the idea , what about the vast majority of ordinary people who have great ideas?

Most successful kickstarter pitches have great demos and big names behind them, this is essential for backers to be able to have enough trust to put in their money into these kick starter projects,
but what about those with no budget for demos , the ordinary joes who have come up with an awesome idea but has neither the skills nor resources to pursue the idea?

Imagine a platform that is pre-kickstarter , a platform that functions similarly but with a fundamental difference. A platform where ideas are voted on and where outstanding ideas created by ordinary joes can be noticed. A platform where the ideas are thoroughly vetted and tested by the public to test the waters of how much demand there is for the idea.

Imagine a wonderful platform where people propose the craziest ideas, rocket shoes, swords shaped cakes , or even the next facebook!

The idea is to create a platform where great ideas can be noticed , similarly to kick starter but without the initial set-up costs so that there is absolutely no barrier to entry and anyone with an idea will be able to pitch it to an active community of users who are equally excited to find awesome ideas and help them become a reality.

Would you spend your time to jot down your amazing idea?
I certainly would. The most important factor here is the community and the ranking systems and most importantly , the brillant ideas that are in every one of us, hidden

i truly believe that such a platform would help us reveal our craziest most awesome ideas, and then the skies the limit.

For now ill be leaving this idea here the idea for an ideas platform.

But first we'd have to build it.
