Nothing you said was heavy. You just didn't say anything [or much] that seemed to be on track to my (or apparently your original) point. Thanks, though.

What the hell are you even talking about? "There" is not the problem. Nowhere did I say anything close to what you're alluding to. That I'm closing off potential future ideas? You've run off on a series of tangents since your original post, none of which, of course, addressed anything I had been saying or asking.

Saying "my idea" is "the problem"? That's the position you want to stand by?

and using those words doesn't (by ANY measure) indicate I'm elevating it to a "higher level than it deserves." 1. You don't know what level it "deserves to be." 2. It is in fact, an idea that I have come up with, independent of anyone else. This is not to say that the idea isn't out there or original in and of itself, but it is okay for me to say it's "my idea." It also happens to be "an idea", as well. They aren't mutually exclusive.

I'm fixating on my (or an, if you prefer) idea to the extent it's the one I have and want to execute on at the moment. Yes, I have had (and will have) more ideas. That means nothing.

Maybe not unique, but useful (I think). Nothing's really that new under the sun. I, personally, think it's hiding in plain sight. All besides the point. It's an idea, and I'm just looking at the best possible angle to tackle execution. You've probably met many people who have said they have "The next Facebook/Google" [insert mega company]... I'm by no means saying that, so there's no reason to put so much effort into trying to convince me my idea is horrible and/or has been done, thought of, etc. Maybe my idea is absolute garbage, I won't even know for sure until it actually flops, though.

I also never said it was unique in the sense that it's a brand new concept. It's not. It's simple, and there are derivatives out there (kinda, ish, but not exactly), but i think there's an opportunity here for something (sorta) new.

I do want to turn this into something profitable. I wouldn't say it's "for fun" but I like it because it's something I've always felt I needed at various points, and would be useful to me. Knowing this, it'll even be more useful to the regular, everyday individual because they'll likely use it more than I would. So, I would love to see it built, but I'd love to be one of the people building it more.

Hey! Thanks. I'll definitely reach out.

Lol Yup. Too late. I think I'm in probably as good of a position I can be in with respect to your article, though. Tough market, but reputation is real value in the legal field.

Thanks for the advice! and got it.

Also, I never felt the "meh I could do that" sentiment or alluded that it's easy. I agree, wholeheartedly, that it's an incredibly important part of the whole thing.

Thanks for the response. I don't really think me not dropping law school as a whole is a good indicator of how much I care about the idea. I just think it means I'm not delusional.

There are a ton of reasons my idea may/may not work, and it wouldn't have anything to do with how good the idea actually is. It's just that since this isn't a video game, I actually have to proceed in way that actually makes sense, balancing both realistic possibilities and my current outlook.

I think hesitating, or wanting more info to properly tackle this, makes to most sense for me.

I think, at least from my perspective, there's a stark difference between using my time as a co-founder vs. learning basic code. My capacity to function as a co-fonder far surpasses that of building my idea from a strictly coding standpoint. Not to say I'll be some savant at co-founding, but when compared to my coding ability, it's not even close. I'm essentially still learning my ABC's at coding.

Though I do have the same amount of X hours allocated to the idea, I don't think they're worth the same as a co-founder/learning the law vs. starting to code from scratch, if you see where I'm coming from.

Thanks for the response! I'm not scared of the work. I'm just looking to be as efficient as possible. and learning one part of the business, though extremely important, might not be the best use of time. And could hurt on two-fronts (the idea itself + law school). I'm ready to work, but I'm just trying to get a feel for what makes sense at the moment in terms of proceeding. I'll check out those links! Thanks again.

lmao, relax man.

Thanks! I'll for sure check this out.

Yeah, that's the thing. I don't doubt there are holes in my idea. I do think it's good, but I'm sure there is work to be done. I honestly don't plan on dropping law school. It's just too risky for me. Not because, again, I don't think it's good, but this is my future and life. So yeah, I guess I'll have to figure something out at this point.
