Simple API Generator (Rest + GraphQL)

I was inspired by Seth Godin's Alternative MBA and the thousand or so ideas one of the teams came up with. The takeaway is that the execution is more important than the idea itself, so here's a public repository of ideas. Use it for inspiration, or testing your ideas on other people anonymously. See which of your ideas got the most love, or the most hate. This is part of my attempt to launch 4 products in 4 weeks. This is the first!

I like this. I think that the "like" "dislike" is a bit ambiguous and doesn't really offer feedback on ideas though. Right now, if I get 10 "likes" I don't know what those people were evaluating it based on (e.g. whether they would use it, whether they thought it was just a cool idea, whether they don't like it cause it already exists, etc.) There are 2 potential fixes to this solution as I see it: 1) Give the user a call-to-action. Perhaps the call-to-action could be "Would you use this?" and then there would be less ambiguity about what evaluating the idea based on. Benefit: this would allow the idea poster to get feedback and potentially find people to test a mock up with 2) Give the user more potential options to choose from. You could keep the Tinder-style swiping, but after each swipe, list reasons for the like or dislike (e.g. "already exists" etc.) and have an "other" option for people to write in comments. If you don't care about keeping the Tinder-style interface, you can just offer all of the options up front. Also, if you do use machine learning to filter out spam, I would also look at how the the color of the card/font affects upvotes/downvotes. Sometimes the psychology of colors might play into a users decision. If you don't care for the colors, you might even want to make each card the same color/style so that this effect doesn't happen

Great idea. It would be perfect with a third button saying "it already exists !". Just an issue : a lot of no-really innovative ideas. Maybe a better curation by a team could help. This done, a people will really have opinions about his revolutionary idea & be rewarded with other great ideas ! :D

@valdecarpentrie I like that. My hope was the community would curate what they like, but there are so many now, there could be a rethinking of how to discover ideas.

@andrewpierno No worries, if your app didn't crash on launch day you overdid it. 😜 I get a 502 error now by the way.

Hey, I'm not able to submit my idea. I found this on the console: unreachable code after return statement {and} WARNING: Tried to load angular more than once.

@passingnotes I know man, I just didn't want to burden people with another password and email login, you know? I may add it in the future if people like this little app. Thanks for the feedback!

@nhuebecker @passingnotes Yeah, that would do it! I'd be really interested to see conversion rate differences between email vs social vs phone login.

@andrewpierno @passingnotes I love ideas like this and would love to try it out, but don't have a FB account and don't see email login. Would love to give it a try if you add in email or Twitter/G+ logins!
