On a slight tangent, for the past month or so I've begun making a list of all the random ideas that pop into my head or get suggested by others. My old-self would guard this list to death but having been on HN for years, I realize sharing ideas is often better. Here's my list of every idea that interests me: http://bulletxt.zetabee.com/share?n=1548888784&h=SHdydmJ... - it is in no specific order other than small/medium/large to denote the expected effort I think a project will take.
I'm very optimistic that now that I have a real list, I will be more easily able to check some of those off. Do others here on HN maintain similar lists of apps/projects that you want do some day?

It's all about execution right? Not exactly. As this list proves: good ideas are hard to find, don't like to be let out of their secret boxes and don't exactly grow on trees.
So no.. it isn't all about execution as so many people have said on this board.. It may be that through execution you come to refine the original idea but to make something people want you need a good idea + good execution.

Isn't there a YC-backed startup that does this? I seem to recall meeting one of the founders at one of the parties after last year's Startup School, but I can't remember the company's name for the life of me.
