Show HN: Idea Minr – Business Ideas Aggregator

It&#x27;s wild to realize that this list of like a hundred innovative businesses is just what people are launching today, and there will be a whole new batch tomorrow, and the day after that, and so on. Just today&#x27;s list is thousands and thousands of aggregated hours of work by hundreds of people for speculative riches with good odds of the businesses failing. And the stuff that gets onto one of these lists is just a small fraction of what gets launched every day!<p>This site may have been intended to inspire startup founders or side-project hustlers, but it does the opposite for me: it has shown me the folly of trying to make it as one of those!<p>Going forward I&#x27;m sticking to proven, local, likely service-based businesses.<p>Thanks, stevematzai. Very enlightening site, even if it didn&#x27;t help in the way you would have liked. :)

I wasn&#x27;t aware that there were so many places&#x2F;communities that focused on this sort of thing. I knew of only a couple. It&#x27;s exciting to look through it all. Love the list format without all the fancy images that make scrolling and eyeballing data so difficult.<p>sidenote: opened up the main page to hunt for RSS (or similar). Though none exist, surprised that everything was on a single line. My poor (lightweight) external editor stopped loading the page at the 50k character mark (hard limit for allowed characters per line).

Kudos for the effort. How do you plan to curate that list? Maybe a git based approach is more future proof, so not everything is on your sholder, like awesome-tech-ideas or so.

Slightly OT, does anyone of you know some idea resources outside our IT bubble, e.g. renewable energy, recycling... ?

Reading that list feels like browsing an aisle at Big Lots, or those tables of cheap stuff at Fry&#x27;s

Very cool. Just too bad ideas don’t matter and execution is everything!<p>I wish the world has more people with technical chops and less “idea guys.” Knowledge of customer and ability to build the minimum viable product is worth more than 100k ideas.

Great lists. Now, is there an algorithm that would mix these ideas for a mesh up for something totally original and market worthy?

Pretty useful. Suggestion based on me looking at this on a phone (I&#x27;m unsure how this looks on desktop!) - left align the titles and the copy for each section. Would make the list much easier to scan. Well done for releasing!
