I am battling with a tech idea, it's being eating me up and giving me sleepless night. This idea will fix a lot of inconveniences associated with our lifestyle in my opinion and I'm quite enthusiastic about it.

My problem is, It is still at the ideation stage. Because of my zero knowledge on coding or zero app development skill, I am yet to take concrete steps in advancing this idea into a product.

But I have all the knowledge and schematics of what the product will look like and also how it's going to function properly.

Dear nairalanders, is there anyone with similar experience or someone who has gone through this stage, how are you coping? Did you finally get out of this trench?
How did you do it? Whom did you discuss with bearing in mind the issues of trust? Did you find partners or investors at this stage?

If you decide to outsource the development of the app, do you also consider issues bothering on ideas theft? Are there laws protecting one against such?

If you decide to partner with someone with the required skill(s), how are you able to deal with trust issues, and how's equity negotiated?

I seem lost because of my inability to find answers to these questions and will be grateful for positive responses because I also know there might be peeps on this forum in similar situation.

Please Mods, help push to front page.
