creating a completely new item that is based off an idea is totally acceptable in my books, its part of how everyone improves, by taking inspiration from other things you have seen, learning how to make it yourself, and then working out ways in which you could improve it.

Totally agree with you on that. I often use other sites as examples, eg. on how to navigate. I create about the same thing, but with my own design and code. Even if someone asks to create a duplicate of something, I always say that I can get close, but never build the exact same thing. If you want the same thing, just ask the author.
