Most of the time the ideas that seemed good felt not so good after sometime, other ideas that tried ended up failing to gain traction and ended up in GitHub or dead files folder.
- danieltillett 10y agoSo in other words they weren’t such good ideas after all :) Don’t be do hard on yourself since contrary to the conventional wisdom here, true good ideas are rare [1]. So are you looking for startup ideas or just project ideas? 1. https://www.tillett.info/2015/08/30/ideas-are-not-cheap/ https://www.tillett.info/2015/08/30/ideas-are-not-cheap/
- kyloren 10y agoWell I was thinking of a project idea that I can later turn in to a business if it goes well. Yah the thing is even though you think it's a good idea you never know until you try it only after trying you realize it's not a good idea after all
- danieltillett 10y agoIf you do come across a new startup idea you think is good then you might want to run it over my good idea checklist [1]. If you do have one that hits at least 16 on this list then get in contact with me so I can steal it from you :) 1. https://www.tillett.info/2016/01/27/a-good-idea-checklist/ https://www.tillett.info/2016/01/27/a-good-idea-checklist/
- kyloren 10y agoYes I read the post and it's good. But not sure if an idea will be a successful one if it meets all the criteria, but if it hits majority of the criteria then it will be a good idea non of the less.
