This is great and I really love the clean feel of the website. Since the ultimate goal is to get the app built out, it would be useful for the user to include necessary details about the app. I.e. user flow, target market, how it works, what it does, etc. If you do really end up building an app each month, would you contact the person in order to understand their vision? My biggest concern is the follow-up. 😃 Lots of potential to evolve in something amazing.

@rohit_tigga Yes it would be great to talk a bit more about how the process itself works, who owns the IP, what happens to the app once you make it...how will you decide what app wins and where do the abandoned ideas go?

Thanks @rohit_tigga @abadesi so much for this feedback! Great points about the user providing more specifications about their idea and following up. The winning app idea is selected each month based on the number of upvotes (most popular idea within a one month duration). We would definitely want to notify the community after we make the app. In regards to IP, submitted ideas (whether successful or abandoned) are part of the public domain. Since this is a learning process, I'm more than happy to chat a bit more offline about how the process works (always open to feedback and suggestions). Thanks and much appreciated for checking out this project!

@nooruzzonline @ziggycrane fair points and I explained in my previous comments below. We keep track of the user/username so we have the pieces for giving credit and we also have a leaderboard (https://iwishtherewasanappfor.co...). Thanks and really appreciate your feedback in regards to this app studio project!

@nooruzzonline you don't think dedicating time, resources, knowledge is enough compensation??

@nmeri17 Totally agree with you but then you anyway gonna charge customer or monetize the app in someway. Not that you are making the app only for the idea maker.

@nooruzzonline 1) not all developers will monetize their apps. 2) is there a guarantee monetized one will become lucrative? I think the best resolution for an idea owner with intentions of generating income from his creativity is to hire a developer to implement his idea, then become sole proprietor.

This sounds like it could be exploited if I offered up a world changing idea and you take all the credit for it. What safe guards are in place?

@jonasalmut thanks for this feedback and you make a good point. The incentive structure will need work (also giving folks credit - not just the leader-board we have today) and right now the ideas are part of the public domain. Thank you for taking the time to look into this project.

@jonasalmut Don't post a "world changing idea" on a public forum on the hope that someone else will build it. Build it yourself.

@jonasalmut @donf126 How about a Leader board for App Idea Winners.
