If you liked this article and want to read someone's Ideas.md, I journal my ideas in the open on GitHub as README.md files. There are over 450+ entries of software and startup ideas. When I get to around 100 I start a new repository. They range from desktop software ideas to parallelism, concurrency, futuristic ideas. They're sectioned and a few paragraphs to a page each. Startups https://GitHub.com/samsquire/startups https://GitHub.com/samsquire/startups Ideas https://GitHub.com/samsquire/ideas https://GitHub.com/samsquire/ideas Ideas2 https://GitHub.com/samsquire/ideas2 https://GitHub.com/samsquire/ideas2 Ideas3 https://GitHub.com/samsquire/ideas3 https://GitHub.com/samsquire/ideas3 Ideas4 (what I'm working on at this time, maybe start here if you're interested in algorithms) https://GitHub.com/samsquire/ideas4 https://GitHub.com/samsquire/ideas4 I want people to read them and most of all, I want to see my ideas in the wild. The more you force ideas onto a page the more ideas you get. The author of this page experiences the same thing.

This is useful! I gotta say it reminds me of how South Park mocks the idea space: “Maybe, like Adam Sandler is a monk, like but in space, and he has to build a go-cart with like, Barbara Walters” Do you find that having a sense of humor about some ideas helps your method? Sometimes I’m still trying to tune my “good idea” / “bad idea” PID loop. It can be discouraging to see the really dumb ones I thought were great for a few hours ;)

  I would suggest writing your ideas to the page helps you develop your inner capability of having ideas and explainability to other people. Ideas are part of your innermost thoughts. Even if you're worried they're bad to other people, the process of writing the idea shall improve your future ideas. My list of ideas is unfiltered. I just think they're what I want to see. There's so much unexplored territory out there, good stuff is waiting to be found and integrated. The future is unevenly distributed. Good ideas are found in pockets everywhere. We need to merge the good ideas together. But first we need to aggregate them.

Loved some of these, reminds me of my own list of wild things I'd love to build but can never find the time for.
