Show HN: Free startup ideas, analysis, validation and first steps
I started a newsletter sending out daily startup ideas. After a year, I transitioned to weekly ideas with more in-depth details.
I recently posted all of them to the website and made them searchable. Check it out and let me know what you think. By providing more than just an idea, my hope is to help someone start their next business.

- hbcondo714 7y agoThis reminds me of the "fresh startup ideas" nugget offers: https://nugget.one/ideas https://nugget.one/ideas
- brianthomas 7y agoNugget was part of my inspiration to starting this. I liked the concept but it lacked depth. We do have very similar copy... too bad it's not converting that well. I'm changing it soon
- harrisreynolds 7y agoI remember Nugget. It was a nice idea, but they pushed the paid version and it just didn't feel like it added enough value for the price. I've recently launched Webase [1] as a platform to test building apps without writing any code. One BIG key to any startup idea is getting feedback as quickly as possible and ideally with writing a lot of code. [1] https://www.webase.com https://www.webase.com
- brianthomas 7y agoAgreed on nugget. I didn't signup myself and I heard the same from others. Interesting concept with webase. I'd build a two-sided marketplace template, I do more of those in my agency than anything else
- matt_heimer 7y agoBy make them searchable I think the author means - make you search for the list because they buried it in a footer and you have to scroll through a long page trying to convince you to give them your email. I'm also curious about the Y Combinator logo on the page. Does that mean they are sponsored by? Ideas have lead to startups that are? Or they started a thread here?
- brianthomas 7y agoYaaassss. Gimme your email :) It's free and a good community, I've connected a few freelancers from email relationships. More like "as seen on" Y Combinator. In a thread. That someone else posted. That I paid for.
- atymic 7y agoI think using their logo based on the premise you posted a thread on a public forum is a bit disingenuous.
- brianthomas 7y agoFair point. I see the difference between yc and hn... adjusted the logo to fit. thanks! What do you think of the site and the content?
- cvaidya1986 7y agoLooks awesome :)
- brianthomas 7y agoThanks! :)
- preommr 7y agoAre you saying you paid someone to post for you on HN?
- brianthomas 7y agoI was exaggerating in that reply. People have organically posted about this here so the logo recognition is appropriate. I did change the logo to HN from YC as someone suggested. I have paid contractors and employees for social media marketing and they have probably posted here.
- SiaMohajer 7y agoAwesome, best of luck!
- brianthomas 7y agoThanks!
- jonfrobinson 7y agoLove this idea!
