You can find some more about me @ [https://napolux.com](https://napolux.com)\n\n### Are these ideas really free?\nYES. The MIT license is pretty clear.\n\n### What if I realize one of your ideas and I make millions? Will you sue me?\n\n[Ideas are worthless, execution is everything](http://adil.io/entrepreneurship/ideas-are-worthless-execution-is-everything/), so, I don't care. But if you want to give me some of your millions, [click here](https://www.paypal.me/napolux/) :D\n\n### How long will it take to reach 1000 ideas?\n\nIf I stick to James' idea machine article I should end my journey in 100 days. I will not limit myself to a simple writedown, so it could take longer, and I'm currenly writing an avg. of one idea per day. So please do the math ;)\n\n### Tell me more about the \"little structure\" and the \"quality\" of your ideas\n\nIdeas will be rendered as a `.json` and a `README.md` file. The markdown file will be the \"human readable\" version of the idea, while the json file will be validated using some PHPUnit tests and a CI system in order to:\n\n* Have a \"title\" of less than 15 words\n* Have a \"description\" of at least than 30 words\n* Have a list of five (5) or more pros and (5) or more cons\n* A notice about this project\n\n(structure may change at my will, it's not set in stone)\n\nTo run tests you need:\n\n* PHP 5.5.x\n* [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/download/) \u0026 [PHPUnit](http://phpunit.de)\n* [Install PHPUnit](http://phpunit.de/manual/current/en/installation.html) if you didn't before.\n* Run `phpunit --bootstrap scripts/build_md_files.php tests/` to build files and run tests.\n\n### Are your ideas 100% originals?\n\n**I can't guarantee they are 100% originals**, the world is full of ideas machines. I can only guarantee that the idea comes from my mind. :)\n\n### Can you elaborate on this?\n\n**Let's make an example**: let's say I'm thinking about **a dating site for fat people like me**. There are already many websites out there offering this kind of services, but probably I'm thinking about it for a while and **I've figure out a way for a viral marketing initiative like printing coupons for the service on pizza boxes**...\n\nThen I'll write it down as an idea.\n\nNot original, not new, but it's an idea. And it's mine. And I'm giving it away for free.\n\n### Can I add some ideas with a pull request?\n\nNope, sorry. But you can fork my repo and do whatever you want with it. If you have any suggestion, get in touch or **open an issue**.\n\n### What is `idea_0`?\n\nIt's a prototype for all the other ideas. I'm using it to validate my build and test scripts.\n\n### I have another question. How can I reach you?\n\n[Check my website](https://napolux.com) or write me [napolux@gmail.com](mailto:napolux@gmail.com).","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fnapolux%2F1000ideas","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fnapolux%2F1000ideas","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fnapolux%2F1000ideas/lists"}
