Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I’m Yuvraj and I absolutely love working on projects – whether they’re websites, games, social initiatives, research projects, or startups.
When I’m working on something, I find myself coming up with lots of great ideas about other valuable projects that one could do. But even though these ideas are amazing, they often require skills/resources that I don’t have and don’t align very well with my career goals. So, they just lie on the scratchpad.
Yet later, when I’m looking for ideas, I’m unable to find anything good. The internet is full of so much other stuff that finding unique yet useful project ideas is a nightmare. Finding one that matches my specific interests is even more difficult.
Enter Oasis of Ideas. It’s an online platform that, I hope, will be the best place on the internet to share and discover project ideas.
Key features:
1️⃣ Every idea gets its own page. So every idea can be discussed and evaluated on its own merit, not grouped together with a dozen other ideas.
2️⃣ Ideas are well organised – by category, expected time to execute, the progress on it so far. This makes them really easy to search through.
3️⃣ It’s a dynamic list. The rankings of ideas changes as people interact with it (upvote, comment etc). If an adequate implementation of an idea is found, it is closed, thereby keeping everything fresh and unique.
4️⃣You can find collaborators! We’ve got a slack channel for each idea so you can meet others who are interested in executing that idea.
So, what do you think? Is this useful for you? What would make this even more useful?
Your “ideas” guy,
Yuvraj
@kjosephabraham Pretty much what I described! I had too many ideas that I wasn't able to properly give away. Too few ideas when I was looking for something specific.

@yuvraj_sarda Kudos to you for this launch! Wishing you and your team a fantastic journey ahead. What’s next on the horizon for your team?
Congrats on the launch!
How do you plan to vet and filter out similar ideas to avoid duplication when the community grows bigger?
Also, are there any measures for coordination and moderation for specific ideas for the executors, or are they more self-organized?
@kshitij11 Good questions!
For 1: We'll build an LLM-based system that would suggest similar ideas whenever a new idea is being submitted (like Quora or StackExchange). But mostly still rely on users to flag out duplicate content.
For 2: If you mean "is there a way of people to collaborate towards executing an idea", then the answer is yes! There's a button called "Express interest in executing this idea" on each idea page. You can use it to create and join a Slack channel with all the other people who wanted to bring it to life.
@yuvraj_sarda
1 - all clear, pretty cool
2- I saw the slack channel, but was wondering who organises it/handles it? Imagine if the idea has 50 people interested in executing it - how do they ensure it's not chaotic?
gratz on the launch, liked it very much, great job!
do you know about any ideas being executed fully on your platform? i'd love to hear some success stories.
@m4jiz It's just been a few months, so it's rather early to expect proper execution of ideas. But in a few months, I do hope to have some success stories!
Great work, have visited the site a few times over the last couple months and it’s resulted in some new ideas on my bucket list!

@yuvraj_sarda Simple, intutive and great product. I wish you all the best and extend my support for your project.

I've met many really creative thinkers who come up with great ideas (that they know they won't execute), but they don't share or dicuss it freely because they're scared someone might steal it. Most of them don't realize that great execution and persistence is the bulk of the work that stands between an idea and success, and they can't work on executing every idea anyway. As you said Yuvraj, they should choose a couple ideas for themselves and make the rest public, but they don't because of the often irrational fear of ideas being stolen. Maybe an educational podcast or short-form content series with popular founders/investors that debunks this type of fear would help Oasis of Ideas.
@aryaman_roongta I agree! Even when building this platform, coming up with the idea was <5% of the challenge.
I've added your suggestion to our todo list!
