Do you have problem to generate ideas?

I have more ideas than I can execute. I'm wondering, if people actually have problem to come up with new ideas.

*idea - side project or startup idea

Why don't you share some of those ideas that you do not plan to execute?

I have read many HN posts over the years from people who have difficulty in coming up with ideas. I am sure that some of them would be delighted to read about some of your ideas.

Personally I come up with lots of ideas that are impractical, non-commercial, too much like something that already exists. But I have difficulty in coming up with ideas that address a common specific need and are feasible and are likely to be commercially viable.

Every now and again someone suggests an "ideas monthly" thread, but mods are strongly against this.

I agree that once a month is possibly too often, but I think it's a shame because the threads used to generate discussion. They weren't just idea-dumps.

They were also useful because someone would say "I think this is an idea" and someone else would suggest an existing product.

We already have Ask HN, Show HN.

Would it be possible to have "Ideas shared with HN" prefix?

Quick brief of idea: AI Sparring buddy for martial arts, that use AI, to adapt and help you to train your skills. E.g. Wing Chun sparring is good starting point. For prototype, it's okay, to have upper body dummy on a stand.
