It's dead simple. There's no fancy interface. Basic features are gone. That's all on purpose.<p>If you're like me, you're always writing down ideas on pieces of paper. My webapp is like that, but for the internet. Let me know if you find it useful.
I'll go ahead and make some suggestions:
like dlf said, it would be nice to be able to play with it before registering. Furthermore, you should allow the user to login with OpenID services such as Google or Facebook, anything you can do to reduce the time it takes for a user to get started.<p>You should add an easy way to edit the idea once it has been made. I frequently want to revise or add some resources that go along with an idea I may have.<p>It's a good start, but lacking some features that would prevent me from using it as a way to store my ideas primarily. I'd be interested in hearing about your progress, it's going to make for a great learning experience.
Alex, you should seriously consider making this an iPhone app. You're probably aware of how much more your peers are into mobile (instagram? tumblr? etc).<p>Additionally, I personally find the iPhone to be an amazing tool for ideation.
I like the idea, but I don't see any reason why I should have to register before playing around with the app a bit. Let the user submit ideas and only require registration when they want to create their own private "bin".
Hey, I built something similar to this a while ago. Find it at <a href="http://openthought.herokuapp.com/" rel="nofollow">http://openthought.herokuapp.com/</a> Figured you might want to see it. I am also 16.
"IdeaBin was designed and developed by Alex Greene, a 16 yr. old student at The Bronx High School of Science."<p>Keep up the good work, you've got some real talent for your age. Congratulations on releasing!
