I’ll never need to find a startup idea again. And neither should you.
I stumbled on Ideabrowser.com by Greg.
Very nice concept (was actually inspired by it), but here’s the harsh truth:
- Ideas should be free. Like knowledge.
- $499/year or discounted $299/year? Not worth it.
- A good system prompt gives you the same (or better) results.
- The database? 366 ideas a year. Cute 😺
Then I opened my second brain 🧠
5000+ ideas. 100% Free. Already visited by 200K+ people a month.
🔗 Second Brain: https://lnkd.in/eeRxxeSd
🔗 My idea agent: https://lnkd.in/ertbS5Ei
So here’s my moto:
- Ideas are and will always be free. Execution is the bottleneck.
- It grows by ≅5 ideas/day.
- No monetization. No feature bloat. No upsell BS.
- Open to anyone to pick from.
I built it in 10 minutes:
- Just Notion + my clipping habit
- Meta-tagged with filters
- One killer AI prompt for idea validation
- Just raw, growing, accessible knowledge.
Next time you need an idea, don’t pay for it.
Use what’s already here: the free world of ideas.
NB: This isn’t a critique of Greg’s work. It’s a push for everyone to build their own second brain—to automate idea generation and validation—rather than relying on paid services to hand it to you on a silver platter. Especially now.
