I hate to hijack this submission, but not so long ago I tried submitting some free startup ideas of my own on Github here: https://github.com/Vheissu/Free-Ideas — because I'm not a Hacker News power-user and don't live in a popular time zone (I'm from Aus) it was largely ignored.

Ideas are very much in the execution, but I think you need a good idea to execute upon in the first place and this Google Doc and the likes of my repository of ideas are perfect ways to find an idea or perhaps add to an existing idea.

Hey I posted a comment below...but I was just wondering if you could add these ideas to the following site.

It would make it easier than having to go to a github page or read a google doc.

I was thinking of setting up a site similar to yours. I even got a domain and set up a launchrock page [1].

But after a couple of months (still haven't started it), I'm finding that putting up a google doc/hackpad/blog post is a lot less friction. The nice thing about having a centralized place like yours (and the one I intended to build), is that the ideas wouldn't be fragmented into different sites/docs.

If anyone's interested in using the domain (unused.me) for an idea site, let me know, I'd gladly give it up :)

Oh wow! This is awesome! Yours looks so much better. I went with the simplicity approach. I had the same belief, having them in one place allows people to go to ONE hub of ideas.

Thanks!

Same here. Although my intention was to put IP into public domain before signing employment contract.

(first step was to find suitable wiki / collaborative engine to put everything in place)

I'd like to throw an idea into this thread that's relevant to the recent events in Turkey.

Twittor - A Twitter client with built in Tor integration.

Yes this is certainly a problem with HN where its active timezone is US centric. Which means news not submitted during those time are likely to never shown up.

maybe a future idea should be a tool for timing HN posts ;)

Lol no worries man
