Show HN: A forum for sharing and discovering project ideas

[yuvrajsarda]

It often happens that one has a brilliant idea for a project, but not the willpower and personal alignment to bring it to life. There's plenty of lists online that evidence this (for example, [1], [2], and [3]).

It also often happens that when one does venture out to find ideas to pursue that would fit well with them, one finds none. Good ideas are drowned amidst the million other discussions on social media. Some ideas take too long, some don't arouse enough interest, and others are just... outdated. Hence the flood of people building things that already exist, doing things that even they themselves know won't make a real difference in the world.

I've built a solution: a forum exclusively dedicated for project ideas. Share things you want to see happen in the world, discover things you actually want to do. For now, there's just some handy filters and features, with more to come as the number of ideas grows. What do you think?
