Hey, Product Hunt! I'm Ian, co-founder and CEO of Hatchli.
A month ago, we released Hatchli for iOS as an invite only beta. We are excited to announce that today we are launching our open beta for both the iOS and web platforms; looking forward to getting great feedback on the new platform from the community!
Everyone has ideas, but too often these ideas go untested, undiscovered, and are ultimately lost. We saw that there needed to be a starting point; a low barrier to entry way to put an idea out there at the concept stage and get real feedback on it. With this in mind, we set out to create Hatchli. Our team is dead-set on making Hatchli the go-to first step in an idea's journey. Hatchli provides the early feedback and validation that ideas need to either take flight or fail fast. Our beta community currently consists of entrepreneurs, makers, innovators, and trend-seekers from over 40 countries; we couldn't be more excited to finally open Hatchli up to the world! Hope you enjoy, and as always, questions / comments / feedback are welcome :)
@eman Great question! This is actually something we've spent a lot of time on. Likely, whatever product idea you have has already been thought of, which is why ideas aren't patentable, but processes and products are. What it comes down to, however, is that ideas don’t fail because they’re stolen; they fail because they aren’t executed on properly. We want to equip you with the tools and knowledge to make sure your execution is spot-on, starting with early validation and feedback. By doing that, we can help those ideas can become real-world products that succeed.
@tony_alexander We really want to focus on expanding the ways users can grow and iterate on their ideas in the nest and beyond. Giving users an expanded set of analytics on their vote data and creating a feature that allows idea iterations to happen more fluidly are at the top of our list currently!

Just an observation here - I got a broken profile image when signing up with my Twitter account, and the cursor does not change to a clickable icon when i hovered over the image.
@mengyi_yuan Good to know! Always best to find the little things early on. We're scaling up our servers to account for the traffic, If you send me the profile picture you would like I can make sure it get's updated correctly.

@ianhansborough Thanks for the reply. I got my picture updated when i found that i can actually click on the image. My suggestion would be to indicate the image is clickable by changing the cursor shape (to the hand shape) when hovering over the image. Hope I get myself clear. :)
@olilem5 We are currently exploring potential partnerships that would be an exclusive set of resources to give our users a leg up as they users pursue their ideas further! On this note, what sorts of partnerships do you think would be most beneficial to our users?
What does the stack look like? Love the designs btw

@ata_aman We have a native iOS app in swift, and our backend is python/django hosted by AWS. The web platform is html css, Js & JQuery!

It's always incredible to see the ideas that people have and the collaboration that is spawned from it or even the conversations with friends after scrolling through.
