Ask HN: Will you steal my idea?
If I show my web app on HN, and it gains some interest, what's to stop some hot-shot start-ups putting a team of developers onto something similar before mine has the chance to take off?
- cl8ton 13y agoNothing will stop someone from copying your idea. But consider this, no matter what your idea is, there are at least 3 people doing the same thing and closer to launching than you!
- dave_sid 13y agowho are they and where do they live? seriously tho, is this a general paranoia that most developers have and is the answer that there's no point in worrying as there's nothing you can do?
