Re:Ask HN: Who else keeps a secret diary of startup ideas? by helen842000 on Wednesday February 08, 2012 @06:14AM (#3566095)
I use my iPhone too. I must have around 100+ business ideas and 100+ ideas for blog posts that I've not sat down to write yet.

So far I've seen around 4 of my ideas built by others. I feel pulled in all of these directions, I have too many I would like to work on, It used to make me mad that someone beat me to it.

I get stuck at implementing them, I get as far as my skills allow. I desperately want to be able to build them or at least produce an MVP on my own.

Now I try to remember that I can't work on everything. Also if I see my idea come to life through someone else and it becomes successful, I just smile and think at least it was a good idea!

Very nice they must be good ideas. I'm still at the point where i get mad and frustrated, unfortunately. I often daydream about how nice it would be to have an army of developers under my control.

Thing is, I've hired devs in the past and it never feels quite like it's my project.

I guess nothing beats building it ourselves!
