I think that ideas have nothing to do with people. There is a general human race intelligence eather where ideas boil and and when one particular human comes up with an idea, there are probably 10 others that at the same time have the same idea. If you investigate carefully you'll notice that there are no breakthroughs. All ideas are incremental. Einstein was genius, but even his work was incremental [1].
Why I am saying this - we applied to YC this year with exactly same idea. It looks like even details of the implementation are similar.
