Show HN: A forum for sharing and discovering project ideas
It often happens that one has a brilliant idea for a project, but not the willpower and personal alignment to bring it to life. There's plenty of lists online that evidence this (for example, [1], [2], and [3]).It also often happens that when one does venture out to find ideas to pursue that would fit well with them, one finds none. Good ideas are drowned amidst the million other discussions on...

Indeed, getting contributors is the more challenging part (as it is in pretty much every forum).
Why do you think the existing ideas are not as good? It is possible that there are flaws – flaws that both I and the current users are oblivious to. If you point those out, it could be discussed, and if it becomes clear that there's a gaping hole, the idea could be closed.

Yes, there are some subreddits about ideas, but they're all horribly hard to browse (and also full of garbage).
Key differentiators: - submissions are well-categorised (and there are filters on the repository page) to find ideas - submissions are moderated for quality and seriousness - recommendation algorithm is far less time sensitive than reddit (which basically stops showing your post after day 2). - a bunch of other useful features specific to ideas (eg: get notified when it gets executed – more in the making).
I'd say Oasis of Ideas can do everything a subreddit can do, and more.
Show HN: A forum for sharing and discovering project ideas
It often happens that one has a brilliant idea for a project, but not the willpower and personal alignment to bring it to life. The EA forum has at least 3 massive lists testifying to this: for [post ideas](https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/9AEEqDR8zcQv2XmsB/...), for [research ideas](https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/MsNpJBzv5YhdfNHc9/...) and for [new organisations to...

Thanks for flagging that!
We're trying to get feedback on the concept and get a better sense of who this might cater to so "Show HN" sounded appropriate.
What's a better place to put this message? How do you make a "regular submission"? I'm sorry for the potential spam; I'm new to this forum.
Show HN: Oasis – A Repository of Project Ideas
https://oasis-of-ideas.github.io/
Oasis is a dynamic digital repository of project ideas. It’s a platform where people with interesting project ideas can share them effectively with others who are looking to build. It doesn’t matter what domain the project idea is from (startups, research, NGOs, physical products, or even video games); all that matters is that it is a clear actionable project idea.If you find yourself thinking,...
