Oh man this is depressing. I have a few ideas that I'd like to get funded and make a business out of, but I have no idea how useful they would be to the average consumer and how I would go about raising funds (doesn't help that my current job has a pretty strict NDA which pretty much covers all software).

At least you gave it a go; even if it didn't work out, you don't have to wonder "what if?" for your entire life, and I think it's pretty cool that you built something you were passionate about; at the very least, stuff like this is pretty good resume fuel, right?
