Personally, I think you took his comment the wrong way & it's actually one of the most accurate comments on here.
So you have some designs on paper, great! Show these designs to anyone, everyone & gauge their interest. Remember, what a user says is very different to what a user does. Just because they say they WOULD sign up for something, doesn't mean they WILL sign up for something. Friends, family (& professors) are likely to be biased out of love, widen your reach.
I wouldn't code anything until you have done the above. The PG quote is basically reaffirming that your idea is worthless right now. Millions of developers are out there with ideas. Thousands are even out there with an MVP. Get user feedback from day one & make sure you're idea is actually worth something (& remember that 90% of good ideas aren't).
- eglover 12y agoI haven't made any claims to worth. In the same way that I asked someone to send an e-mail via my website instead of simply posting my e-mail, I've no interest in the passively curious. I'm not cautious in talking about the project, but I am cautious in blabbering off to anyone who doesn't care or just wants to look at something shiny. This is something that comes up in conversation with friends often. The question here is where can I go to find help. Not how do I validate the idea. That's taken care of.
