I would, but:

a) there's nothing that solves either of these problems

b) they aren't new problems and have been around forever

c) technically, they wouldn't be very difficult to implement (they aren't technical solutions to these problems).

I've talked to multiple people offline about both ideas, so I'm very certain that they are good and will work. I've been working on the one for about 5 months now, so this isn't "just an idea". I'd just rather not broadcast them to HN when I'm months away from launching either one.

"I've been working on the one for about 5 months now" -> choose that one, that's easy. Why would you throw away that work?

Well, mostly because the newer idea could possibly be more worth pursuing.
