Hey PH, the Idea Picker is basically a digital version of my dri-erase board! 💡
It's a simple tool that compares your project ideas so you know which one to focus on.
📈 Plot your ideas against each other
👉 Pick the best one to make
🚀 Start making it!
You can also store the ideas so when you're ready for the next one nothing has to be re-entered.
Just yesterday, I spent a good 2 hours going through my Trello board of ideas to process them all 🤯. This would've been a very useful tool to have. Do you have plans to allow people to add their own categories/criteria?
Also some small feedback, the site isn't very responsive, my window was a bit less than full screen and some of the text was hidden.
@dkb868 thanks for the feedback! yes, need to work on making the chart more responsive :(
@dkb868 yes definitely plan to allow people to add their own options for comparison. that is actually ready to go but wanted to get some feedback today about what options would be good. Do you have any suggestions?
@awt Incorporating the Meat Grinder approach in some way would be cool - https://tylertringas.com/busines...
@dkb868 ya @tylertringas has some great stuff here, thanks for giving me the link. I will look into it more!!
@dkb868 In some ways my thinking is more to start with a specific problem and think of ideas for that, rather than just ideas in general...but sometimes the meat grinder thing is probably super useful!
This looks very interesting, though I would want very different criteria for what to judge my ideas against. I mainly work in the arts, so things like monetary benefit and days before launch aren't as useful (the importance level one is pretty key though). Also, I feel like having them all on a similar scale to the importance level would be more helpful. I would reframe it as such:
- How complex is this in terms of execution
- How costly could this be
- How much time would be necessary to work on this
- How much energy would this project take
- How resourced am I to do this
- How important is this project (to me, to the world)
- How keen/excited am I to do this project
@creatrix_tiara this is very helpful, thank you!! Planning to add some options like this so folks can choose which criteria they want for their situation.
@imogen_happy sorry for the hassle! Want to send a screenshot of what isn't working? andrew@alphabits.app
Really helpful product - I strongly believe that visualization is a key part of idea generation!
would like ability to show (a) amount per user; (b) option to show weekly / monthly / annual... subscriptions
Pros:simple tool to allow listing and comparison of ideas in mind, helping focus and selection for input.
Cons:no comment at present
