Ask HN: How do you detach yourself from your own ideas?
- sdesol 13y agoHave others tell you it's a bad idea?
- jwillis28 13y agoJoin FounderDating so you can be around other people who have ideas, and you can network and talk to them. Might open you up a bit.

- ASquare 13y agoThink about it from a measurable outcome based perspective. That way it doesn't matter who's idea it is - if the idea cannot measurably achieve the goal of the idea, then its just not good and that's that.
- maxbrown 13y agoIMO if it adequately solves a problem you have yourself, that's a good start. Then, try to assess how big the problem is for others in your target market. Really nothing other than testing (could be an MVP, surveys, pre-orders, etc.) and time can tell for sure. Don't trust anyone that simply says "That's a bad idea" - instead, get their feedback on the major difficulties of the idea, and decide if you think they are surmountable.
