I Wish There Was An App For

@rohit_tigga Yes it would be great to talk a bit more about how the process itself works, who owns the IP, what happens to the app once you make it...how will you decide what app wins and where do the abandoned ideas go?

Thanks @rohit_tigga @abadesi so much for this feedback! Great points about the user providing more specifications about their idea and following up. The winning app idea is selected each month based on the number of upvotes (most popular idea within a one month duration). We would definitely want to notify the community after we make the app. In regards to IP, submitted ideas (whether successful or abandoned) are part of the public domain. Since this is a learning process, I'm more than happy to chat a bit more offline about how the process works (always open to feedback and suggestions). Thanks and much appreciated for checking out this project!

@donf126 👍 👍 👍

@donf126 Would love to help you guys out on the design side of things.

@rohit_tigga @abadesi @colinwinhall Following, have ideas.

@nooruzzonline He gets to use the app he wants?

@nooruzzonline @ziggycrane fair points and I explained in my previous comments below. We keep track of the user/username so we have the pieces for giving credit and we also have a leaderboard (https://iwishtherewasanappfor.co...). Thanks and really appreciate your feedback in regards to this app studio project!

@nooruzzonline you don't think dedicating time, resources, knowledge is enough compensation??

@nmeri17 Totally agree with you but then you anyway gonna charge customer or monetize the app in someway. Not that you are making the app only for the idea maker.

@nooruzzonline 1) not all developers will monetize their apps. 2) is there a guarantee monetized one will become lucrative? I think the best resolution for an idea owner with intentions of generating income from his creativity is to hire a developer to implement his idea, then become sole proprietor.

@jonasalmut thanks for this feedback and you make a good point. The incentive structure will need work (also giving folks credit - not just the leader-board we have today) and right now the ideas are part of the public domain. Thank you for taking the time to look into this project.

@jonasalmut Don't post a "world changing idea" on a public forum on the hope that someone else will build it. Build it yourself.

@jonasalmut @donf126 How about a Leader board for App Idea Winners.

@timshnaider True ☝️

@alessandro_machi great idea about having a leaderboard for app idea winners. Thanks again!

@dielawn714 That's not fair. Guy who submitted the idea has to get credit and some reasonable share of IP ownership.

@dielawn714 Without any type of credit, the contribution's value is exploited by society at the expense of the contributor.

@dielawn714 thank you and you're right on the money about the intent of this project (it's also about spreading good will and promoting cool ideas)! I spent the past day in a half explaining this to people but to be fair they also have valid questions/concerns. Thanks again! @syamala_prasad_oruganti @alessandro_machi

@dielawn714 @alessandro_machi Society benefits and the creator benefits. What cost do you see to the creator?

@anossovs1 thank you for this feedback and much appreciated for taking time to check out this project. You're right that we need to further investigate legal risk especially with terms of service.

@donf126 great idea! A suggestion is you make the code open source and put it on GitHub.

@munipandita That would be the only reasonable solution for this site. I agree with you. 👍

@munipandita @ihatedotpink awesome idea about making this open source and will keep this in mind!!

@magnuson thanks for sharing and just voted your idea!!
