Hello! As an experienced programmer with 20+ years of expertise in founding, developing, and recently selling my own company, I've gained some insights and assisted in the successful completion of tens of projects for others.
Here's my advice: The value of an idea lies not in its conception but in its execution. The notion of a "profitable idea" is a misnomer. Profitability is only achievable through well-executed ideas, and the reality is that many ideas, though seemingly promising, end up being impractical.
With that perspective, consider the following approach:
Develop a basic, functional prototype. Use ChatGPT and no-code platforms. Try to learn and understand a bit of the technology, but avoid the traps of perfectionism or attempting to create a final product.
Put your prototype to the test. Be receptive to feedback, leveraging social media, friends, and professional networks. But don't just settle for verbal approval; gauge genuine interest by requesting money for a fully developed version.
If you notice substantial interest (read: money) partner with someone skilled in coding to make it real.
Be mindful that 95% of ideas don't progress beyond the testing phase. Understanding this can help set realistic expectations.
+1 on the No-code platform suggestion. You don't have to know how to code to build something unique, you just have to be different from the rest. No-code has come very far, making it possible to build a lot of different types of products. There's a ton of AI products out there that are built on no-code platforms, and you'd never know as a user.
I understand your will to build your tech ideas quickly and your concern about protecting them. The link I'm sharing talks about how ideas by themselves are merely multipliers of execution. It may come across as a bit harsh, but it reflects the critical importance of hard work and effective execution in adding value to ideas. Don't let this demotivate you. What's most important is to get started and bring your ideas to life. You can do this. sive.rs/multiply

Great insights! Thanks for commenting. Agreed, execution makes or breaks a business
