So I have a question this week.

For the past 5 or 6 months now, I've been tackling the task of organizing education and documentation in my company. It's sucked because there's not really a simple pre-existing solution to the problems we're having - an easy to update central repository. I see this as a gap in the market and I think a product that could fill it would be great, but I'm not a developer and can't make it myself.

So I've been banging my head against this question - how do I find a developer? I know that once a developer tells anyone about their skill, they're instantly told "well I have this idea for an app..." so I don't want to be just another unprepared person. I have folders of information on the market and competition and the hole they leave, but every time I try to explain it, people's eyes glaze over.

So I guess I'm trying to figure out - how do I, as a single individual, present an idea in a way that results in forward movement?

(P.S. Sorry to make a "me" post after so long in radio silence.)
