It's so refreshing to get a comment like that that isn't of the type "Buy low, sell high" or "Make something that is easy and fun to use".
I have to say though, that I disagree with "implementation is hard". Perhaps because that's the more entertaining part I don't think it's that hard. You can do it piece meal and when you're doing it you're also learning your trade.
I too would like to participate in a discussion about what really actually works beyong "Show HN" which is usually overly biased on the technical side or sensationalist.
The one thing that I think is actually harder than marketing is coming up with an idea that actually genuinely new and something people really need/want.
If I hear another advice along the lines "Build a solution to a actual problem people have" I'm going to puke.
Implementation is hard in the context of, I can scribble down an idea in 5 mins but to actually build it will take me 4 weeks. So, compared to the idea, the implementation is hard in terms of being time consuming and taking a lot of resources and effort. Then after that to get people to use it seems nearly impossible.
