Don't build, talk to people. Find people who would actually pay money for your potential idea/product/tool. I remember a interview with Twillio's CEO where he described how he came up with the idea of an API for text messages, he was meeting with a developer over a different product, and pitched the idea, and at first that developer didn't seem interested, but 5 minutes later that developer started asking more questions where the idea of texting api was taking roots.

HN is definitely a good place to get brutal feedback on ideas.
