Ask HN: how do you decide which idea to use?

2 pointsby leecho0almost 16 years ago
I've got a lot of ideas to try to solve problems and create value for the user. Some are smaller that a two person team can complete, and others that require at least a business person and a finance person and a bigger investment. Right now I'm trying to decide which of these to start, so I'm curious how to decide which to do. The ones with smaller investment / small payoff? large investment / large payoff? the fun projects?<p>btw, I would love comments on some of my ideas @ lchou1.blogspot.com

The one that keeps floating to the top. The one you find yourself most passionate about. Otherwise, when you are bridging the gap between start and finish, you'll give up.

One thing that would help for evaluating your ideas is to include links to existing sites that are most similar. This would save the evaluator time in getting the basic lay of the land and show whether you're aware of the strongest competition.

Start with a small one, predict how data will turn out and see how close you get. Then go for a bigger one. Disclaimer: This opinion based on (almost) no real experience.
