Same thing with the "lot of ideas" struggle. I usually put them down initially into a sms or google notes. Then transfer into Obsidian once I get back to a laptop.
Those files are massive man, most of the ideas are 10-50 words and the file for software ideas alone has almost 5000 words (so roughly 250 of {what I think are} good software ideas). It's been an accumulation of everything for the past 6-8 years and really just enforces the whole "Ideas are a dime a dozen" mantra.
I should really start taking action on a few of them though, it's happened once or twice already where someone has made one or two of them with great success and I've gotten pissed/depressed that I didn't pursue them before they did.
