Nice timing. I've always had ideas that I just don't feel like going to work on. I recently started posting all my ideas in case anyone else is interested in them. Just having the idea is worth nothing unless you turn it into something. See my recently submitted stories.

Thanks. I was doing market research on a startup an acquaintance of mine has that's similar in scope to site in OP. His is https://capitalandgrowth.org (shameless plug for him - promise it's not for me).

Anyway, I stumbled upon this 10-month old question on startups stackexchange and it hit a nerve, so I wanted to share. The answers are spot on. As a programmer, I gravitate towards this answer:
