The Idea Club is a place for sharing ideas about things to build.

The idea is to encourage and promote collaboration/group participation and funding for those cool projects you just know someone else out there also might think is cool and worth doing. So if you have a good idea for something, that you think others might think is a good idea too and you want help with it, consider adding it as an official "Idea" on this site. The idea is to share ideas in a way that enriches them.
