Finding it difficult to work out whether I should take the plunge and try to make the idea I have.... must overcome confidence first...

Usually you have everything to gain. What is holding you back?

Jumpshot said it
As a very wise man said once in something that's totally not a meme:
JUST DO IT
Srsly tho if it works that's awesome, if it fails you'll learn something and eventually you'll end up feeling more confident about yourself from having the guts to try rather than doing nothing

@Jumpshot44 Partially confidence to do it, and also time and priorities (the idea's users would be businesses, which need support 24/7, which I couldn't always provide) :/

@Defi4NT It makes sense really - there is actually nothing for me to lose, but the gain could be tremendous. I'll have to get working on it. Thanks 😃

@ToshNeox baby steps mate, baby steps. As with any other idea with a potential this too will not jump to fruition from the moment it has been fully developed. there is a long stretch of time before conception, implementation and uptake by the target audience. Always aim small, and miss small. take baby steps and buid on the feed back you will receive from your target audience. that way you will know if you should change your priorities around to follow it 24/7 or not based on how lucrative and promising the feedback has been. And if not, you can always go back to the drawing board and fine tune it to make it a desired and lucrative product that can justify the time you need to put into it to maintain it and keep it growing.
