NDA gate before people can chat about their idea in detail on DVOIDER

We are building an app where people can share their raw ideas in order to get feedback, visibility or start to build and turn that idea into reality throughout collaborations. A primary goal of DVOIDER is lowering the psychological barrier to sharing everyday ideas that pop into our heads, and purely value the idea itself.👇🏻

This weekend we worked on building a new feature : before two people can get into the actual details of an idea in chat, there's now an NDA-style agreement on our platform, that both sides have to accept. Basic terms: whatever's shared stays between you two, no reuse without consent.

The reasoning was straightforward: "someone will steal my idea" is the single most common reason people gave for not sharing an idea at all, even for feedback. Whether or not that fear is rational (most of the time it isn't — execution is the hard part, not the idea), it's real enough that it stops people cold. So we tried to remove that specific excuse.

But now that it's live, I keep going back and forth on whether this actually does anything meaningful, versus just being a checkbox that makes people feel safer without changing the actual risk at all. An NDA between two strangers on an app isn't exactly enforceable in any practical sense.

So — genuine question for people here:

If you had an early idea and wanted feedback or a potential collaborator, would something like this actually make you more comfortable sharing details? Or is it just friction dressed up as protection?

And if you've dealt with the "what if they steal it" fear yourself — what actually made you get over it, if anything?
