I'm not so concerned about the attention but rather I am in love with my idea and if someone with unlimited resources comes along, I don't want to feel like I gave away something I loved before I really take it for a creative spin. That being said I do want creative suggestions and creative help that a public GitHub repo might attract.
- DoreenMichele 9y agoI really love the presentation scenes in the movie The Hudsucker Proxy. One is a circle on a crumpled up piece of paper and he says "You know, for kids!" His idea is a hula hoop. Later, he has a circle on a larger display and says the same thing: "For kids!" It's a frisbee. Here's a clip of one of them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fn8rXglFMuQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fn8rXglFMuQ The odds are very high that your first attempt to explain your idea will sound equally silly and unintelligible to most other people. Things like elevator speeches tend to take a lot of time to develop. Conveying anything succinctly and well, especially anything new, is very challenging. Most people have no idea how bad they are at until they start that communication process in earnest.
