That strikes me as disingenuous. Each PhD should make a mark on the field expanding upon the prior wealth of knowledge. That doesn't make each one suitable for a business opportunity, nor does the exact topic matter directly create a career (though the skills gained within the process should help greatly). I would recommend limiting your scope and talking towards particular examples and how the tools you may build could help those particular instances of PhDs.

I'm confused then. Why are you posting about a particular project and a particular website if you're not going to post anything concrete for months? If you want to test the waters with a concept, you need to present it in enough detail that the pros and cons of a particular idea can be weighed.

And yes, a basic website as a functional box may go public next week but would make little sense before a couple of tests running behind the scenes. Now on Ask HN for a debate and to make this traceable, anyway. I am pretty sure similar projects may show up reading this post and they would be welcome: this is not going to be a one-takes-all kind of venture. Thanks again for your interest.
