Do you know a tool for idea filtering?
Like probably many here, I have a lot of different ideas for projects, small and big. I'm keeping track of these ideas in small notes, one for each idea. What I don't do a lot is evaluate the ideas, even superficially, and I think this could be interesting to get in the habit of. Do you know of any tools that do this?
Basically:
- Let me input ideas
- Let me input filtering/rating criteria
- Let me rate each idea on each of these criteria.
Does such a thing exist?

…and maybe the answer is a spreadsheet. 😁
Yes...I was going to suggest (something similar...) Trello or Notion.
I’ve made the thing you’re looking for in Airtable. Easy to build, define custom fields you need, great desktop interface + has a mobile app for adding ideas on the go. Plus integrations and export options are 👌
I don't remember what it's called but there's a web app that helps you decide on things based on criteria you specify
Found it! It's called Decisionize: https://decisionize.com/
Ah, pretty cool. The decision process is something like what I had imagined, but it doesn’t look like it’s built for long-term storage, like with ideas over weeks, months, or even years. Thanks for sharing!
Idea filtering tool sounds like a nice idea in itself. If one can identify what are the criterias to judge an idea, a simple tool could be built to rank ideas based on those criterias. There could be even sone kind of community voting on each of those criterias. Some kind of idea hunt where one discusses and validates their idea before even starting up.
Also, check this tool for idea validation:

Thanks, I'll have a look!
