Hello HN, I'm bad at picking startup ideas. I built a lot of stuff no one used. So I thought I'd build a site where people can pay for an idea before it's built.

You don't need to create some fancy landing page or something. Just describe the idea.

If people pay before an idea gets built, it's probably a big positive sign. It means the idea is big enough of a pain point. If not, this website will be a graveyard of ideas that didn't work.

If this doesn't work I'll take it down in a week.

I would prefer something like this, but for specific niches. For example I'd love something like this to upload my video game trailer too, but I don't think showcasing the game I'm building is really all that well served by your current format.

I can imagine similar examples for music

You can add HTML in the description field.

I'll check on adding channels. Thanks!

Getting an internal server error, have you taken it down or are you having problems?
