Thank you for this - I wholly take on board what you have said, and I pretty much agree with everything. I guess I should explain - I have seen a lot of non tech people on here post about ideas, and then get completely shot down at the first hurdle for fundamentally not being a tech person - a Catch 22 if you will.
As for my background - 29yo female Biochemist, published twice. Have done analyst work (taught myself visual basic), and have also done B2C marketing.
I love my idea, I am so passionate about it - I just didn't want to get immediately slated by loads of developers thinking I know nothing, an insurance policy for my idea that I have invested a lot of my time and energy in.
In terms of not convincing one person to take on my idea, I have convinced everyone I have pitched to so far - but none of them are tech developers. People have certainly commented on my passion for the idea, and I am far more positive than I clearly sounds here. Just goes back to not wanting to be shot down before people have even read the whole post.
