I emailed YC regarding co-founders and they suggested HN, so here I am [...] I can't discuss the company details here [...]

If your idea is so fragile that discussing what it is will destroy it, you really don't have anything useful.




It's not that it's fragile. The key with this project is to be the first. I've never seen it done before so I want to do it before anyone else does. Sorry for being so vague. Thanks for the input though.


This is usual a sign that someone with more money will reproduce your success once you prove the credibility of the market. If it is that simple to reproduce then you don't have a strong product. If it is a strong product then you can tell the world and it does not matter. Some blasting Facebook and twitter with advertising idea, that anyone can set up with a server and some JavaScript is neither novel or a strong idea for a long term viable business.


I think there's a difference between discussing it, and discussing it somewhere it will pop up on your competition's Google Alerts. ;)
