Ask HN:I have a project in my mind. what should I do?

3 points by changer1 ↗ HN
as you can see from my earlier topics, i have a food delivery app in my mind. i have been talking with people and i feel the idea got better. the tech people i talked with said me this sounds okay and feasible but i don't know anything about p2p systems. and i have been talking with a lot of tech people and i can't find a p2p guy. so im in a dead end. what should i do? should i apply to next yc batch? should i keep looking for a tech co-founder? should i try to learn it myself?

First, you should add "Ask HN:" to the title. Second, "as you can see from my earlier topics" isn't a sufficient description to help you, not even with links.

added. and if there was sufficient explanation there, you still wouldn't help. thanks for the first part.

Indeed I wouldn't, but others might.

Had a friend who expressed interest in building a similar food delivery app but seemed to back out of it because of the demands in logistics. He's interested in exploring other ideas involving tech solutions.

What are you bringing to the table other than the idea? Do you have a design? Wireframes? The first few customers?

My generic advice would be to create the smallest useful version of your app, and see if you can get any traction with it.

which other idea

You have an idea for a food delivery app, right? If you’re looking for a co-founder, what else are you bringing to the table?

It’s practically a meme for tech people to have a friend bring them an idea, want them to build it (ie do all the work), but only get half the reward. So again, what do you have other than the idea? The food delivery market is very crowded and you’d be up against billion-dollar competitors. How will you overcome that?
