I have an idea for a product that I think it is remarkable it's not already a thing. It would be easy to make and produce, and I imagine manufacturing would be cheap, but could be sold at a decent price.

I know I'll need a designer or engineer to help me with a virtual design. I'll also need a programmer as the product is a "smart" product and would link back to an app. So I'd need an app dev and someone to program the functionality of the device.

So assuming I get all that, then what? How does one get something like this manufactured, assuming it gets that far? I have a potential source from which I could get a business loan, but would at least need a virtual mockup and a plan.

I would love to see this become a reality but it feels daunting and I have no idea how to make it all come together. Any insight from the lemmings is much appreciated.

Edit: I've seen some prototyping and invention help companies, but they feel skeevy and Id have no doubt the terms end up with most of the profit going to them.

Been here since the reddit API changes two years ago, and until this post didn't realize I had joined a brand new instance. Lemm.ee is the only instance Ive used and I love it.

I've never seen drama about or by this instance, it's just a place to get your Lemmy, no judgement or gatekeeping like on some others. Welcome all!

This is my cat. Her name is Uta and she hungers for the flesh of oligarchs.

Whenever you want one! They're not too expensive, between $12-$19 a year depending where you register it. I have a few I got just cause I thought it was a great name and maybe would do something with it some day.

For example: Iguanayawn.com

Hope it's not against any rules to "market" or whatever, but I run a web hosting company, Genlack.com. Check it out if you decide to get a website up. We'd love to help you out! It's just me and my dad, but we have 50 happy clients and you can host your own emails easy peasy.

Well PMG grading is like $30 a note so... $130?

With no context whatsoever my first thought was it was one of those "uh oh, if the thermal paste is on my hand, then that must mean I accidentally put the cum on my cpu..."

I will be deleting this shortly I am sorry

Edit: Most upvotes I've gotten on Lemmy. Listen to the guy below. Live your truth, lemmings.

Dude could've gotten vanilla anywhere, but instead spent his time and energy to go on a quest with his friend to get the ice cream he really wanted. Then he booted him for wanting a "plain" flavor. YTA.

Cause Lemmy is the same 15 dudes in a trenchcoat.

Enough? No.

Edit: It's really not good. He's pulled it together a bit, but there's no way around it. At least Trump unraveled to his usual form. It would've been worse if he kept his composure he had in the first 15 minutes. My heart sank when Joe looked like he was watching cartoons dance around the room and TRUMP was the cool and reserved candidate.

They're grifting grifters. I see no problem.

Went to Burger King recently. About $18 for the burger, fries, and medium drink.

So I initially was super off put by hexbear when it started showing up. But reading through this thread, and your comments, I feel differently.

My main thing is the "own the libs" type narrative because I considered myself a liberal. I didn't want to feel attacked while trying to expand my view. But reading through these I think that's because Ive always defined myself as a "liberal" but I think I just conflated that word with "left"

Based off a lot of what I read here, I actually am considering joining the instance because I do agree with the sentiments and I do want to educate myself beyond what I've been taught in the very flawed US public school system and the headlines I'm fed daily.

Thanks for your responses.

Also, can you explain pbb to me because people were talking about the nuance of it but it just looks like some shitty pig balls to me.
