This is a simple exchange I had on twitter:
a: Mi estas lacata.
b: Dormu!
a: Bona ideo. Mi dormis. Dankon!
Why not "Bonan ideon. Mi dormis. Dankon!"?

Maybe because it means : (Estas) bona ideo. Mi dormis. (Mi donas) dankon (al vi)!

This is correct. In Esperanto wishes such as ”bonan tagon” etc. always take the accusative as “mi deziras (al vi)” is implicit. Commented Jan 1, 2018 at 13:34

The full sentence would be Tio estas bona ideo. Without the tio it just means "there is a good idea (out there somewhere.)" Commented Jan 2, 2018 at 13:23
