Darwinian idea evolution engine — toss rough ideas onto an evolution island, let them compete, crossbreed, and mutate through structured rounds to surface your strongest concepts.
A round-based idea iteration system that treats ideas as competing organisms — scoring, selecting, crossing, and evolving them through structured rounds to surface the strongest concepts.
Most idea management tools are filing cabinets: they store ideas, tag them, and let them rot. Idea Darwin flips the paradigm — instead of organizing ideas, it lets them compete. Every idea is a living species on an evolution island. Each round, the fittest get deepened, different ideas cross-pollinate to produce unexpected hybrids, and external stimuli trigger mutations.
Your ideas are alive on this island. Like organisms, they follow three core laws:
Every idea gets a structured card recording: core question, full description, lineage (parent/child IDs), 6-dimensional scores, and change history.
| Dimension | Weight | What It Measures |
|---|---|---|
| Novelty | 10% | Genuine breakthrough or repetition? |
| Feasibility | 20% | Technically and resource-wise achievable? |
| Value | 20% | Impact if successful? |
| Logic | 20% | Internally consistent, no gaps? |
| Cross Potential | 10% | Can spark something new when combined? |
| Verifiability | 20% | Can we design a validation path? |
seed → exploring → refining → crossing → validated → dormant
The user always has final say on all life-or-death decisions. The system only recommends.
Create an ideas.md file:
## Personal knowledge base that learns my style
I want a system that reads everything I write and gradually learns how I think.
## Commute-to-podcast converter
Record voice memos during my commute, auto-convert them into podcast scripts.
