I dig this overall process (and transparency), but I'm bummed that ultimately it came down to "I have an idea." It's an idea that has some customer validation, but the value of this series of blog posts for folks was to prove a process for creating a web application that didn't start with "an idea."

I didn't start with the idea. It came out of a conversation with a friend last week.

My goal for the post series is to create a web app and be transparent about the process. So finding an idea and validating it matches that goal perfectly.

true, but the idea coming out of the idea finding process that you describe in your post would have been slightly more awesome.

...but only slightly, and i'm still eager to read follow-ups on this experiment!
