Why do you care? ideas are worth little. Implementation matters most!

Last week I talked with a competitor. I detailed my plans for the next 6 months. It commits me to follow them, and may incite discussion.

There is almost 0 risk they can match the features or my timeline. I am quite productive, and there is no secret sauce. Just complexity, and interdependance. Can't have a baby in 1 month with 9 mothers. And should they do, I will be happy to copy the unique features they add.

The disclosure opened some talks however. I am ready to sell consulting or some specific parts they need to do their product, and that have not much of an impact in mine.

You make a fair point, but that advice is a very hard ask for some. Just looking for some reassurance.

lol, you are being way too friendly. Business is a game of war and you must play the game to win. If you give any details of your future plans then only do it as a means of deception ;)
