On: Show HN: Getting help with your ideas

[scheff]

Okay, there are some relevant questions amongst that comment, so I will address those.

The form is different because it is designed to be short and to the point - "This is what I'm doing, this is what I need help with." It is a single place where people can go to receive/offer help.

I'm not trying to steal your ideas, nor is anyone else. Everybody here already has too many ideas and not enough ability to execute on them. Which is why the form has been invented - "If you help me out, I can help you out."

If the form is not to you liking, then please don't use it.

Was there no better way to express this?

1. It's simple, and there is no barrier to entry.

2. As you so astutely pointed out: it's a form. Very little need for styling.

3. The idea is clearly not to lay down your master plan, but to see if anyone else is interested in solving a specific problem.

Would I use it? Probably not. Can I see it being used? Sure.
