I'm sure many of you have come across this situation where you have a brilliant (or just cute) product idea in your head, which is probably worth something to someone, but you really don't have the time to pursue it.

On the other hand, you want to make sure your idea is treated well: it is well understood, critiqued and evaluated; and should someone take up the idea, due credit it given and development updates are made available.

In other words, just blogging about or posting a web app idea to Reddit is probably not the way to go. Is there a solution to this?
