Your idea will get stolen, if it's good. Most likely, it's not good and your idea won't get stolen because no one gives a fuck about you and your problems, which is a good thing.

If you are in the .1%, then you probably don't need to getting regurgitated advice from the rest of the 99.9% (i.e. the retards like me that use this website who have no idea what the fuck they are talking about).

How many people use this site monthly, like 100k? Maybe 10k of those people have been in real startups and maybe 1k of those people have gotten non-trivial funding. Out of those 1k, 950 are retards. Out of the 50 people who can give you great advice, they all have other things they would rather be doing, and might not even login for a few weeks.

Shut the hell up and get to work, dude.

As simple as it gets.

Start working on it. Create something, a simple MVP, to test your idea. Then worry about the details. If you do it before you even begin with your project, you will end up with a hundred reasons not to start it at all.

Is this language really necessary?! Yes, I'm going to be that guy, but having worked with special needs individuals, it really upsets me when people still use this term. It's about as outdated and offensive as labeling something you dont like as "gay".

and if your idea is really good, you won't be able to shove it down anyones throat fast enough. See classic dropbox thread.
