Leanthingy.com - Rate Startup Ideas

Lean Thingy - Helps you get fast feedback about your startup idea. I hope this tool can help you determine whether to pursue or kill a startup idea quickly.

Leanthingy.com - Rate Startup Ideas launched on March 17, 2011 with 15 votes, #65 of 272 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches.

Designed for aspiring entrepreneurs, it aims to help validate or eliminate ideas rapidly before significant time investment. The tool launched in early development stage to gather user feedback during its initial build.

I also made it for people who are curious to see what projects others have "in their drawer"... and who may want to have a say in which idea should see the light of day. https://ideas.dynamate.io/ The site allows creators to anonymously showcase their idea: Title. Description text. Maybe some mockups... I've tried to make it so that it's quick and easy to just dump an idea in there that's been sitting on some list of yours for months - and hopefully get some feedback on it. If someone else on…
