For all the peeps willing to sign NDA's.
Remind me, does that prohibit you from using the clients IP or not talking or using their idea?

True... will probably only work if said person has a conscience :p

I just want to hear the idea to know if it is really unique. The last guy on here to come with an "idea" basically described Uber. And yes, there already is an "Uber" for both maids and prostitues.

My advice would be to learn some basic dev work and do it yourself. Or find a friend/relative who you trust that you can work with.
it is either that or getting enough capital to pay a developer.

Well i spoke to a guy that owns a development house .
Gave him a run down , he said i would need 200K to get it created .
He did say that it sounds like a good idea .

Not really sure i will have access to 200K anytime soon so going to consider making the idea public anyway .
Hoping that whoever cashes in on the idea (and they will cash in ) has the decency to at least sends a little part of their fortune my way .

You see this is exactly what I am scared of.
But yeah Im not going to be able to get 200K together so if anyone is actually serious about becoming part of this and would have the integrity to reward me when the cash in happens , i would be happy to discuss .

Question will always be.. how much is an idea worth? R0.
Any money you receive be it even R1 will more than you would have made right now.

Share the idea in thread, or create a telegram group with a bunch of the devs here. Discuss the details there and expand. Your repayment will always be at the mercy of someone's conscious sadly unless you learn to dev yourself

Well. I read through his idea.

He has a good idea! (Don't PM me ffs. I promised the guy I will not share it.)

But yes, it's actually pretty neat, I am not sure how he will monetize it just yet, but I do see me using it probably on a bi-weekly basis or daily depending on a few things. Very vague I know, sorry.

I do not see it costing R200k, but to justify that means I will need to give away more info which I can not.

@Biometrics, maybe give consent for @Zyraz to send you a PM to forward you our convo, perhaps you can add some perspective?

So by PMing biometrics, I gather this is an app?

This prob needs to talk to some back-end.

What would be an interesting reverse situation is that a few devs here pull together and develop this for Zyraz. As in paying it forward. The when he makes money, he shares it with those that contributed....

I got no objection to that .
Even splitting all proceeds evenly across the board except i get 1 % more ?

Still waiting on @Biometrics to give the go-ahead to PM him

Ok, read it and thought about it:

1. I don't see any way of making money from it.
2. Technically I don't think it's possible.

I have a way, but it would mean bundling this with something else he could add, however like you've said, if it is possible, not sure.
