On: Ask HN: How do you store and organize your startup ideas?

So I agree, some ideas are more manageable than others. But the only thing I'm getting out of your description is that a co-founder validates ideas, because you don't trust yourself to know that Hyperloop is harder than a Reddit clone?

Also not sure if you could be fooled into thinking Hyperloop was easy, why you wouldn't be able to find an equally optimistic co-founder.

Your last sentence gets at the heart of my point. If you wanted me to come on board with your idea that builds on hyperloop, I wouldn't be "agreeing that that's a pretty cool idea and should be on your list." I'd be agreeing to actually build it somehow.

So the standard for cofounding something is a million times higher than the standard for putting it into some list of ideas.
