The first comment in your previous submission is accurate: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6077395" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=6077395</a><p>Ideas are just ideas. Actually solving problems requires a different skillset that can&#x27;t be accomplished with the &quot;magic&quot; of crowdsourcing. Calling this a &quot;problem solving website&quot; is incredibly misleading.

Here&#x27;s something I&#x27;ve always wanted to build, much better than I thought it.<p>Here are some thoughts:<p>- Flagging can be good. Some things just don&#x27;t fit, so they must be put out.<p>- Maybe you could make it easier to give negative feedback. Some buttons (customizable?) to just click: &quot;I don&#x27;t see this as a real problem&quot; or &quot;This is more a dream of yours than a problem&quot;. Could also help with flagging.<p>- For ideas, there could be an option to quickly point the potential common problems an idea can suffer of (and also count the &quot;votes&quot; to these), such as: insufficient market; network effect; solution looking for a problem; this already exists; this has been tried.<p>- Pull requests. Let people at least try to modify others&#x27; ideas, add information etc. Maybe this will help people feel like their feedback is valuable.

At a glance many of the submissions seem to be problem statements, or simply maxims. Is that the idea? To list and rank problems? Or is the idea to have some sort of solution in mind as well?

<i>sharing ideas that solve impactful issues</i><p>Except ideas don&#x27;t solve impactful issues, groups of people applying time and resources to a problem solves impactful issues.<p>I think it would be more accurate to say that the service is for &quot;sharing ideas for how to have an impact on complex issues.&quot;<p>I&#x27;m still not really sure what it is supposed to do.

Can you give some instances of what you call &quot;idea websites&quot;?
