When I have an idea I make a quick JayPad (its a tool I think is a perfect solution for this “problem”) about it. I write down everything I need to get out of my head and structure it along the lines: Problem, Solution (+tech specifics), Business Model, Competition. After that I invite someone which I think shares the problem and which might be interested in working on the solution together and we just bounce ideas.

If the idea lasts this test we specify next steps and just start working on a prototype right away. Honestly: I am juggling way to many projects - but I just love it and I cannot help it. By getting someone on board right off the bat I have managed to force myself into getting things done quicker. This process at least secures that I get stuff done and I have successes from time to time :-)

"...it’s held out as a high-quality open-access journal by the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), which is intended to be a reliable list of such journals."

I think that is one of the main points they wanted to stress.

Honestly. We simply do not know. (very early stage startup working towards product-market-fit here)

The points on creating new accounts to try out a new tool you are making are exactly the reason why we opted to not make having an account mandatory. Users can make a JayPad by giving the JayPad and themselves a name (that's it) and see if our combination of text notes and Slack-like discussion adds value over a current setting with Slack + Strawpoll + Evernote or whatever they are using. Right now these are teams working on side-projects, or startups in the idea- to prototype-stage, local sports teams as well as political groups.

Thank you for your input on making this more into an Evernote plus X. We have this in mind and will be implementing new features and nuances in close loops with our users.
