| For me it's opposite, the moment I start writing it down is when I start to build it, I get it mostly built in my head before I start putting down code or wire. With some components having basically "don't even think about it once the prototype is in and you can do more educated guesses. > if you want inspiration, there's also halfbakery https://www.halfbakery.com/user/chronological That's funny, I remember having few ideas that I thought were interesting but someone just.... did them, I just didn't knew. So I started browsing. > https://www.halfbakery.com/idea/Backup_20tester#1583186965 That's a feature enterprise backup software kinda have; you can run verify job that do that , and full "restore environments from backup" is already a thing in big enterprises Some, sadly mostly in form of config validation, also have the "verify whether files are correct in batch mode" > https://www.halfbakery.com/idea/Backward_20pricing#168063049... That's kickstarter. > https://www.halfbakery.com/idea/URL_20Powered_20Computer#167... I've so far seen few apps in k8s environment doing that. Like for example in Victoriametrics' vmagent you can instead of config post an url that will be polled |
Then I try integrate the separate projects together.
Sometimes I just jump into a project based on an idea, usually on repl.it
