A website for testing your app ideas
- adentranter 11y agoGreat idea; I keep trying to leave a lengthy comment and I get an error. I get a 500 Error.
- jsunderland 11y agothat's so embarrassing. I'm on it. Thanks for letting me know
- hayksaakian 11y agoThis could work for free or 0 price ideas, but for paid services or products you have to ask someone to give you money to find out if they really like your idea.
- robotkilla 11y agointeresting 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.
- jsunderland 11y agoit's a valid point. But don't you want to know if it's good enough to be stolen?
- robotkilla 11y agonot really -- isn't that like wondering if your wallet is fat enough to get noticed and pick pocketed?
- bgnm2000 11y agoI agree, managing a private test is much more controlled and feels safer (i.e. just whipping up a landing page to prove some demand)

- anonx 11y ago> submitting ideas to a site like this will result in the good ones being stolen I tried to do exactly that. But the only idea that I'd implement was "elevtr io".
- tswartz 11y agoInteresting site. I think it could be more helpful if it also had a "wouldn't use" button that also asks for specific feedback. Sometimes its good to hear peoples concerns when you are still in the idea phase.
- jsunderland 11y agothanks for the feedback man. I'm still mulling that feature over.

- mekarpeles 11y agoThere 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.
- theideasmith 11y agoThis website is suspiciously similar to https://www.elevatr.com/ https://www.elevatr.com/.
- xerophyte12932 11y agoit 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)
- Plough_Jogger 11y agoJust ship something.
- rixed 11y agoInterestingly, 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.
- baseh 11y agoJust a minor note. In the 'you are not logged in modal' it would be great if there is a link to the login/register
- ollysb 11y agoWouldn't an app idea need feedback from it's target market? How does this site help with that?
- jskulski 11y ago"Elevtr IO is an app for testing your minimum viable product or supporting ideas you like." A MVP isn't a description of something that doesn't exist. An MVP is the cheapest way to get value to your users. Interesting idea for a site, but I wish they wouldn't use the phrase MVP.
