Show HN: I made a tool to help collect and validate startup ideas (keepmyidea.app)
Hey HN, I’m Kyrylo. I recently created a small tool that lets you gather, refine, and validate SaaS/startup ideas using AI.
I used to jot down my product ideas in a note apps, but it wasn’t very practical for collecting feedback or refining them. So, I built this tool to make the process easier.
Here’s how it works:
1. Enter a brief description of your idea. 2. The app uses AI to generate project details. 3. Share your idea via a link that includes a feedback form.
It’s pretty straightforward, and I’d love to hear your thoughts or any suggestions!

Thank you very much for your input!
Please don't steal my idea:
> FuneralDash provides on-demand services for funeral needs, allowing families to order necessary arrangements swiftly, similar to food delivery apps. This service aims to ease the logistical stress during difficult times.
> What problem does it solve?
> Planning a funeral can be overwhelming and time-consuming, often leading to added stress for grieving families. Many are left to navigate complex arrangements on their own at a time when they are least equipped to do so, which impacts emotional wellbeing.
> Who is target audience?
> The primary audience includes grieving families and individuals responsible for organizing funerals, who may be middle-aged or older, often lacking experience in arranging such events. They seek compassion, efficiency, and convenience in a challenging time.
> What makes this solution unique?
> Unlike traditional funeral services, FuneralDash offers rapid, user-friendly access to essential services and products through an app. Its unique approach includes customizable packages, empathy-driven customer service, and live tracking, which are typically absent from existing solutions.

I think that for someone with zero experience in funding a VC backed company its a great place to get a feeling of what you need to do to "Validate" your idea, by seeing what people in similar positions did to validate theirs.

(I'm not from that fund, and they are not investing in my company)
I'm sure there is a good core for this idea but if your product can be replaced by a google docs folder and copy pasting from a chatbot than more likely than not you need to do more ideation
It's VC inception, your idea is to cater to other startups. I always find that so funny.
A crowdfunding platform that allows individuals to contribute donations to lobby for political change, empowering small businesses and citizens against corporate lobbying power.
What problem does it solve? This idea addresses the disparity in lobbying power, where large corporations influence laws for their benefit. Smaller entities and individuals often lack resources to voice their concerns, leading to legislation that overlooks their needs.
Who is target audience? The primary audience includes small business owners, grassroots organizations, and engaged citizens who desire a voice in political matters. Demographics include individuals aged 18-70, typically socially aware and interested in political activism.
What makes this solution unique? Current lobbying avenues are often dominated by wealthy interests, making it difficult for everyday people to compete. Crowdfunding donations for political causes democratizes the lobbying process, enabling collective action from the grassroots level.
An app designed to expose and analyze the deceptive practices of AI-based applications, helping users identify scams and protect themselves.
What problem does it solve? The rise of AI-based scams threatens users who lack knowledge about these technologies. This app educates users, saving them from possible financial and data losses.
Who is target audience? Primarily tech-savvy individuals aged 18-45 who frequently use apps and are concerned about online security. This audience values transparency and safety in technology.
What makes this solution unique? Unlike existing solutions, this app integrates user feedback and real-time analysis to offer a personalized and community-driven approach to identifying AI scams. It also educates users about red flags in app behavior.
I love that.
But honestly, my comment was more about sharing a vibe than a comment about how you should change your product.
I think the benefit of LLMs here is doing market research, finding risk, asking questions, etc. Someone showed a pretty cool demo of Perplexity doing some of this stuff recently.
and it said it's an inappropriate idea... mind boggling.
> A unique hat for dogs that allows owners to monetize ad space through bids, creating an innovative blend of pet fashion and advertising.
> What problem does it solve? Many pet owners struggle to find creative ways to earn extra income. The lack of unique, monetizable pet products limits their options. This idea addresses that gap by offering a wearable solution that can be marketplace-driven.
> Who is target audience?
> Targeting pet owners, particularly millennials and Gen Z, who are tech-savvy and interested in innovative products that also provide financial benefits. They value unique items for their pets and are engaged in digital marketplaces.
> What makes this solution unique? Unlike traditional pet accessories, this hat creates a platform for advertising while providing an interactive and engaging product for pets. It bridges pet fashion and income generation, making it distinct and appealing.

My app is focused on providing a quick and easy way to share initial project concepts with others. The key is feedback gathering. I use LLM just to quickly provide project brief for user. But the key - feedback from audience you have.

> The idea of 'world domination' is unclear and inappropriate for analysis.
