A repository for ideas – good, bad and ugly
TLDR: New posts published every Tuesday night – read them, dissect them, remove and feast on their innards with the precision of the native water rat eating a cane toad. If the meal was nourishing, delightful or plain terrible, provide feedback to the chef.
A Week to Critique is a place where you can publish your ideas pseudonymously then have the internet provide you feedback. The site has two aims; first to shift the original’s authors thinking and second, to point out who has had the same thought before.
How it works
- Someone submits an essay format summary of (at least what they think is) their idea including a psuedonym
- Once a week (generally on Tuesday night), one of these submissions is selected for the week’s main post and is published
- Critique is submitted via the web form at the bottom of the post up until one week after the original publishing date
- Critiques are sent to the original author and they select the response that most shifted their thinking
- This response including any other responses of note (including polite allegations of plagiarism) are added to the original post
- Return to step 1
Some advice
- If you’re planning to make money off your idea or you are particularly attached to it, don’t post it here
- If you know that your idea has been published before or worse it was generated by an LLM, please take your business elsewhere
- Be sure your idea is of interest to other people (Exhibit A)
- One liner critiques will only be published if they are particularly witty. Otherwise, that is what X is for.
