So, I have a few ideas for few years now, that might be profitable if developed right. At least I'd like to think so.
However, with a full-time job and other responsibilities, I'm not able to work on any of them. And it breaks my heart because I believe, they are actually useful concepts, with potential for commercializing for profit.
At the same time, I also think that if I start that project as an open source, I might get help from the community, maybe they'll be able to make my ideas even better and on top of that, I'd feel proud of myself, that people are finding my idea good enough to spend their time on it and if/when it gets completed, it'll be useful for way many people.
I know the people in this particular part of Reddit, will encourage to make it open source, but is there anyone who is/was in similar situation? What did you do/didn't?
Thanks in advance.
