The Idea Swap

Web developer

The brief

In preparation of Hyper Island's Interactive Art Director class website, we decided to make a teaser website.

The idea

We believe everyone can have good ideas, you only have to discover it. We tried to find away for people to share any idea they have, and get something in return.

The concept

The Idea Swap allows visitors to get an idea for your own idea. Just type in your idea, hit 'Swap', and you'll get a new one.

The result

The amount of visits was far higher than expected. We had over 40 000 visitors in the first month, and over half a million after 1.5 year.

The Idea Swap
An empty post-it note...

For you to fill in. Write down any idea you have. You may find it silly or stupid, it doesn't matter, just type it in the post it note.

The Idea Swap
Swap it!

Filled it in? Great! Now hit 'Swap' and get an idea in return. Don't like the idea? Swap again!

The most addictive website of all time!

One of the most surprising feedback we got, was the editorial team of Oprah's blog naming our site "the most addictive website of all time". It happened when the site was 1.5 years old.
