How it works

From a thought to a shared idea.

    Write down an idea or start from a website you want to explore. You can work on a draft before sharing it.

  2. 02

    Make the idea clear

    Describe the problem, the people it affects and the proposed solution. Review and edit AI suggestions in your own words.

  3. 03

    Publish your idea

    Publish your idea for review so others can explore its purpose and the current stage of the project.

  4. 04

    Ask for a contribution

Who is behind it

Made in Hamburg by moinsen.dev.

TinIdeas is built by Ulrich Diedrichsen, who makes small apps under the name moinsen.dev. The first ideas on TinIdeas are our own apps, so every step is tried on real projects before yours.

Questions

Good to know.

How is this different from Product Hunt or Reddit?

Launch sites reward one big day, and forum threads scroll away. On TinIdeas every idea keeps its own page with one concrete request, such as testers or a co-founder. People answer by applying for that role, not by commenting, and you decide who you talk to.

Who can see my idea?

You can work on a private draft before submitting it for review. If approved, the fields you choose in the editor are public; your original text stays private. You can change the choice or withdraw the idea at any time. Do not submit confidential information.

Why no comments?

Comments turn into noise fast. Up- and downvotes give a clear signal. Anyone who wants to say more applies for a role or asks to join a talk round, where the conversation actually happens.

How does matching work?

People apply for a role with a short message. Contact details included in an application are accessible to the idea owner and administrators when it is submitted. There is no chat inside TinIdeas.

Does an AI score validate my idea?

No. An AI score is a first impression, not evidence of customer demand. Talk to people who experience the problem and test your assumptions before drawing conclusions. Talk rounds on your idea help you reach twenty such conversations.

That idea you had in the shower? Write it down.
