sshakeel··on What (apps) do you use to stash away your ideas?
Okay, that's good to know. Thanks for checking it out. I am looking for a solution to make it less annoying.

Weird. My Firefox 16.0.1 has no issues. I had to allow location access though. I am looking in to it.

Was that on the homepage? What browser are you using?

Since there is some interest, here is what I have so far: http://ideatagr.com

Please remember that it is still in very early stages. I am at a point where I am getting people to test the concept and the practicality of this app.

There is a system in app to report bugs and gather feedback. Since I created this from scratch and am the only one working on it, it takes me a bit to implement bug fixes but I do get to them eventually.

Feel free to sign up and give me your feedback. Thank you!

What I am aiming for is to capture your thoughts very quickly at first. I know you mean to exapand on those thoughts, drawing up a sketch etc but that would be the second or third step after you capture your idea.

The problem I am trying to solve is that it is very easy to lose our ideas in all our notes. Most of the time, our ideas sit somewhere in a folder and we forget about them. By capturing stats about how and when you generate your ideas, I am looking to (hopefully) trigger some motivation and enhance creativity by reproducing the circumstances that generated your previous ideas in the first place. I hope it makes sense...

Interesting, I love the idea of sending your notes through SMS. No need to sign in or even have a working internet connection. I am thinking the app authenticates you using the phone number on your profile. Brilliant concept!
sshakeel··on Show HN: Freemium usability testing for your startup
Hi Ross, I am on the same boat as richo here. Not really a start up but just an app I put together and wanted some user feedback. The site looks easy enough to use and navigate through. For now I just went with one free test. Depending the quality of the feedback from that one tester, I might buy 5 more tests next.

Cheers and congrats! I definitely see myself using your site over usertesting.com

Also, funny that you mention tags. The app I am working on also revolves around the concept of tagging to categorize and organize your ideas.
sshakeel··on What (apps) do you use to stash away your ideas?
Exactly, your ideas are all over the place and you end up losing them! That was my entire motivation behind working on something like this.

Yeah, a lot of people, including myself, use evernote or some sort of note taking app. But I felt that my ideas were being lost under a pile of notes.

It's nice to quickly jot down your idea but I wanted to analyze my behaviour and perhaps figure out what it is that inspiring me to come up with those ideas. Is it the coffee rush in the morning or the calmness of the night that turns that part of my brain on which enables me to start popping out ideas.
