I have an App idea. How do I go about formulating it?

So says the thread title. Any of you tech-heads wanna go partners? You coulds also tell me if it's been there-done-that.

Thanks.

You first need to pick your platform, then learn a programming language.

Assuming you don't know any already

what is it an app for?

I'm nearly fifty and I have a hard time with english!

I see what you mean though, it'd be another application utilising bluetooth.

Not sure I understand, it's for iPhone tech.

(did I answer right?)

whatever you do.

BEFORE you tell someone else your idea to help out.

make them sign an NDA (non-disclosure agreement)

its court ammo if they decide to take your idea and run with it.

Its never too late mate!

I've been learning C++ for a while now in my spare time but I'm nowhere near proficient enough to churn anything useful out.

Firstly, ideas aren't legally protected and secondly, ideas are ten a penny. It is ignorant and terrible advice to recommend complete beginners to get potentially helpful and knowledgeable people to sign NDAs before disclosing advice. Assuming they don't openly laugh at your naivety, no one will actually sign an NDA to hear someone's "amazing app idea" just to offer advice to help out. Please stop talking nonsense.

Folks, just spent some time U2U with a very smart, kind, helpful person.

Apparently it's been there, done that.

Mods, alas, a lesson learned. Please retire this thread.

You have imagined it to begin with and that says something .


If it's been imagined already , you ought to look into innovating " it " .
