You know, this is an idea I had too, and then sat on (much like the author describes). Not Oregato, but a hub for sharing ideas and generating new software projects; I have a tonne of things I'd like to implement, and nowhere near enough time to make them.
Some sort of centralised idea repository (a wiki is almost fit for purpose, but makes it hard to categorise, rank and index ideas) where anyone can throw their thoughts for others to comment on, and still others to pick up, would be awesome.
- noverloop 16y agomaybe something like quirky.com might work for apps too
- thiele 16y agoIt seems like there is a lot of interest in the "idea hub" concept. I actually first envisioned Almost Startup this way, but never found time to execute it. It began as a wiki, then a Wordpress MU installation, and then I finally decided to just ship it as a Posterous blog. The "idea hub" could start out as simply as a group blog and then transition over to something more substantial if there is interest.
- frio 16y agoI think it's something that not only has legs in terms of scratching our (collective, it seems :)!) itches, but has the potential to be pretty big. I've started hacking on it in Django a few times, only to be waylaid by other stuff and having to set it aside. I might write up a big blog post when I get the time detailing how it'd work in my head, and see if it can be expanded from there. I'll keep an eye on Almost Startup too; I really like the concept and it looks like an interesting hub :).
- thiele 16y agoIf you (or somebody else) can manage to pull together a proper "idea hub", I'll happily contrbute!
- photon_off 16y agoThere's a website I visited two years ago all about sharing ideas. Some funny, some business, some absurd. It was an amazing place, but I cannot for the life of me recall the URL!
