Build a basic version and see what traction / feedback you get. Don't be afraid of people ripping it off, it doesn't happen. Everybody capable of ripping off your idea will have plenty of their own, that they'd rather pursue. The people I know, who talk about their great ideas but are vague with details (because it's so groundbreaking that everybody would steal the idea if they could), are the same folks who never actually get anything done. Don't be that guy. Get it out there, discuss it with as many people you can and get valuable feedback. By holding back of fear of your idea getting stolen you are not accomplishing anything.
- jdrobins2000 13y agoThanks, a very rousing pep talk. I am sure what you are saying is true that most people worried about having their idea stolen end up doing nothing. I am trying to figure out how to not be that guy. But I am also trying to figure out the smartest way to do it. Maybe the answer is, whatever way gets my feet moving? It's interesting that no one has had an opinion on how to go about doing it, just that I should stop worrying and just do it. Which is exactly what I would expect someone to say who wants to steal my precious idea... ;)
