Thanks. I definitely need both sound ideas and decent code to do the job.

Thanks! I definitely work hard at sucking less.

Thanks a lot for the motivation indeed!

Thanks a lot seancron for your tip! Didn't know this at all!

Thanks @JoshKalkbrenner.

Thanks @allanchao! Another resource for me to read.

Thanks a lot @bootload for your tips and resources! You have brought me one step closer!

Thanks @rananth! I will certainly give my all out to try! Despite not having much tech buddies (well, non-tech too!), guys/gals in the HN community are already my chaperones!

@petercooper: you are right! I should never give up until I see some light!! And I won't give up!

Thanks a lot indeed!

Absolutely! Thanks a lot @JonathanWCurd!

You are right @g0atbutt! I am my own enemy! Thanks

Thanks @JonathanWCurd! Will definitely pick something small to start with!

Thanks @masterzora for your kind words! I definitely agree the idea's still very premature. And that's why I would love to get some inspirations from the experts in HN community.

The rationale is really to encourage and engage people to learn something new, different and useful.

Thanks @pinko for your comment. You are right. It might sound similar to HN. But HN is sort of like tech-related. I am thinking of a place to learn truly random stuffs, or scientific stuffs. But you made a good point, it sounded quite like Reddit!

Although I am not an American (i.e. I don't know the entire scenario in absolute certainty, but I work here in US), I totally agree that the government shouldn't intervene, at least not at the expense of tax payers.

I am totally baffled by the ever growing inequality between the rich and poor (pay, taxation, power differences, and etc). I was always wondering when we could ever see a significant change in such absolute unfair situation. Can we possibly use technology to make a change?

Hoping to see a better outcome by the time my children grow up, or before I die!

Thanks a lot for letting me know about that site @dmlorenzetti! You are right, it's pretty similar. Looks like I need to refine my idea then.

Thanks @CyberFonic! I am kind of inclined towards building web app in the beginning as I conceive it as a "broader" user base.

Another great lesson learnt! Looks like I better start picking up some Python skills asap.

Many thanks for your tips again!

Thanks @FirstHopSystems!

Thanks @slysf. Yup, tutorials is what I need and code implementation too!

Thanks @fooandbarify. Looks like I really need to get the coding engine going now! I certainly think I will have a lot of lessons from my foreseeable "startup" failures!

Thanks @thatusertwo. Mini-start-up is surely a great motivation and start! My present lame startup ideas are all in this category:)
