I’m not in the tech community, but I have an idea for a device I want to get made (just for my own convenience; nothing commercial or for an organization). Is there an existing platform for soliciting someone to build an electronic gadget for me?

Bingo. Ideas are worth nothing. Literally. I’ve heard a lot of people’s ideas for products or services in the industry where I work, and they’re almost never even well thought out as ideas. Just “this would be cool.” No thought to how it would get maintained, if the cost to make it is going to be anywhere close to the price people would pay for it. Would it require any special data to function, and where are you going to get that? Blah blah on and on. Manufacturing technology is so available now that simple ideas for “this would be cool” are either snapped up already OR will be stolen by Chinese copycats the second you make it. I really have no patience for “this would be cool” ideas anymore.
