I find it a bit odd when people come to meetups for techies with an idea for a web-app that they can't share. I know a guy who's got an idea for a project-management app that sounds pretty cool. It's an extremely crowded area but I still think he's got a shot. Rather than keeping this idea to himself, I think he should tell everyone about it. Let his ideas spread. Let people adjust to his new take on project management. If 1,000 tech- or business-savvy people are aware of his concept and speak to other people like that on a regular basis then he already has a test-bed of people to launch his product into. At the moment I believe only a handful of people are aware of the product and whilst he's toiling away on the code, no one is being primed to buy.
