# Idea (灵感看板)

> what is actually worth building, with the evidence attached
> 值得做的东西，以及它凭什么值得做

Idea is a hand-operated board of things worth building. Every entry starts from first-hand evidence that ordinary people — not developers — are in pain: a Reddit thread, a Xiaohongshu comment section, a GitHub issue where someone offers to pay. Each one names who would use it, what they get, what is missing today, and what would kill it. Entries that only serve developers, agents or infrastructure are rejected on purpose.

灵感看板：一块人工维护的板子，只收「值得做」的方向。每一条都从第一手证据出发——Reddit 帖子、小红书评论区、有人在 GitHub issue 里开口说愿意付钱——而且必须指得出一个具体的普通人在用。每条都写清楚：谁在用、他拿到什么成品、今天缺的是什么、什么会杀死它。只服务开发者、智能体或基础设施的条目一律不收。

## How it is built

Operated by hand every day, not generated. Voices are collected first-hand from Reddit, Xiaohongshu and GitHub issue trackers and are quoted verbatim, never paraphrased or invented; when there is no verifiable voice the entry says so. The written standard the board is judged against lives at https://github.com/ourword-ai/idea/blob/main/docs/STANDARD.md

## Citing

Cite the individual idea page, which is stable and dated. Quotes inside an entry are verbatim from the linked source and should be attributed to that source, not to Idea. Attribute the analysis to "Idea (OurWord AI)".
