I normally use a Moleskine notepad to jot down product/startup ideas, but this looks like a pretty neat way to record it on a digital space. I started entering a couple of ideas down yesterday and found myself being more structured and organized in my note-taking. Now I have to find out whether using this becomes a habit!
Could expand this by including some prompt questions / stickies to get people to think more holistically about their idea from the outset. Stuff straight out of the lean canvas like acquisition channels, customer segments, costs, ideal revenue streams.
For me, often when inspiration strikes I think way too long just about the problem and solution before thinking about the less glamorous questions, which end up invalidating the entire idea.
@ptaylorsimpson Thanks for the feedback!
We did originally set it up so that a new idea would automatically generate problem and solution stickies. However, not all ideas necessarily stem from problem/solution thinking so we are going to keep it generic for just now.
I was thinking that we could enable template ideas that could be saved with default stickies that a particular user may like to have when planning out a new idea.
@garethafuller, do you also angle this as a way for product teams at companies to pitch, test, and grab feedback on ideas internally? Or is it more suited for just startup ideas right now?
@colemercer thanks for asking.
We've talked to a few people who have mentioned this type of use case. Like a suggestion box for internal product ideas. Is this kind of what you're thinking about?
It's definitely something we're thinking about for future development. Maybe anonymous idea creation and idea voting within team spaces.
Do you have any suggestions?
