Hey Cory from Opps Daily here! Just want to preface this by saying Nugget.one is an incredible product that essentially inspired Opps Daily. I signed up for your product shortly before new years, trying to figure out what kind of venture I would launch in the New Year. I'm always struggling to find good software ideas, so your service seemed great. But it stopped after about a week and there was a hefty price tag to keep getting these ideas. I just wanted ideas, not the community, so I figured out how you were getting the ideas and started getting them for myself. A few days later it became clear that I should start Opps Daily because there is incredible potential to help solve problems. Anyways, just writing in to say I find your service pretty inspiring although I'm not trying to build a community to launch Saas products, but more of community where people learn about problems others are having and connect with those people. I've actually sent a few people your way when they mentioned my emails lacked the analysis they were looking for. Anyways, Im sorry if you feel like I stole something from you, I'm always singing your praises when someone mentions the similarity. I'd love for you to drop me a line if you ever want to compare notes! :)

Hey Cory, nice response, thanks :) Sure, I'll send you an email and let's hook up and have a chat I have some thoughts about your vault idea. On another note, I'm really curious to know how are the ideas worded in such a similar way. Were you inspired by my HIT process? No worries if yes, it will just help to clear things up. Thanks, Justin

  Yeah, I essentially reverse engineered your email. "What question would I ask to elicit this response". It was just such a compelling format, you really nailed it. I never saw the actual questions you asked, although I wished I had it would have saved me several bad batches :) Also, fwiw I'm going to try and move away from Mechanical Turk soon, its good for a volume of responses, but I'm sure as you're aware most of the quality is low and you really have to filter.

For the record, I thought of the similar things before I saw Nugget and I signed up for it at some point. If I ever decide to do something similar (not likely, too many other things), I don't think I would feel I was stealing from anyone. Anyhow, don't think this is a big deal. I think it is nice to subscribe to OppsDaily as well.

Hello, I guess you now need a third site, which would subscribe to both ideas-feed, and have users vote for the best of the two. PollDailyNugget? Additionally you could have people bet money on the idea they prefer, and if the money stack got big enough, you use the stack to outsource a team to build a MVP and randomly give it to one of the gambler on the next day. DailyValidatedNugget?

I wouldn't bother too much about this blog post. It was a shitty thing to do by Nugget, not only in spirit (stole an idea? Please.) but tone. FYI I just signed up to Opps Daily.

OP Here: For the record. Corey an myself have reached out to each other and are getting along great. We've setup a call that we're both looking forward to having. We already learned stuff from each other. Regarding privacy: I deeply screwed up on this. Somehow I just assumed because Corey was so radically transparent that it was ok. That was my error and I apologize. Also I guess since the only identifying data was the domain name, which is public, I also somehow thought that was ok. I was wrong. Regarding intent: It was not meant to come across as mean spirited. It really was just meant to be a good blog post. I missed the mark. Obviously my authorship screwed up on that point.

  I am glad you are responding well here, but just an example of tone from your post: > I wish he wasn’t ripping off Nugget, but the fact that he is actually doing something is a big deal. This would be a lot more impactful edited as such: > The fact that he is actually doing something is a big deal. The little (potentially read as snide ["ripping off"]) opening context for the sentiment actually detracts from its point and helps establish a negative author tone for potential readers. In general, placing any point behind a "but" detracts from impact and moves said impact to the opening context. Hey writing is hard and written tone is super difficult to manage! As an idea, you might consider having friends read posts and comment on the overall tone before publishing (if you don't already). Disclaimer: I am not a good writer so apply grains of salt liberally.

    I have made the change you suggested. I ran the post past my smartest friends who read HN, they all said it looked good. We just missed the privacy aspect and also in trying to be funny I went at it too hard.
