Well, you've filled in your profile, but there're still no contact details.

Do you have any work you can point us at to show what you've done and what you're capable of? If not, can you create something to show off your skills?

That's why you need to find a programmer type that you can trust, buy them a beverage and shoot the breeze, including talking about your idea.

If you're really good with words you should be able to find some way to tell us the problem you're solving without saying exactly what your idea is. Tell us the pain you're taking away - that will sell the idea and make real hacker types want to get involved.
