*Couples App* What about an app that helped a couple grow their relationship? I'm not really sure which features would be the most engaging but just ideas Could encourage questions about one another. Not sure if it would ask in app, or just give the suggestion to ask. Like facilitate conversations. Could have some kind of date organizer or tracker. Might be able to build achievements in like "Take a boat ride together" Could recommend little things to do for one another. Your SO would never know the app sparked the idea. "Bring home flowers today" and such Maybe could occasionally offer videos on relationship building. Just sporadically give a push notification with a video. Not exactly sure if any of those ideas really satisfy the goal. But i just thought it would be interesting if there was an app that hrlped facilitate deepening a relationship

*Live ambient audio feeds* A site where you could find live audio streams of ambient sounds. Like, let's say you find the sound of a busy city intersection -- horns, engines, crowds, sirens -- calming / invigorating. Or you find the sound of a maritime harbor soothing -- waves, boat engines, bell buoys, fog horns -- relaxing. Such a site would provide an index of places where you could tap into a live feed of audio at such a location -- say Times Square NYC, Kennebunkport Maine, a beach in Miami, whatever -- and you could listen in to the live sound in the background.

*An app that will give access to large "fame lotteries", free of charge, whose prizes would be to be seen and heard by all the participants via webcam during 3 mn.* Who wouldn't want to be listened to by tens of thousands (even millions) of people? To convey an important message or to gain immense visibility for a cause, or simply to acquire followers on social media accounts? The app address the frustration of not being heard / seen. Other participants will be encouraged to view the entire speech if they do not want to have their IP banned for future draws, so you have an audience, no matter what. The draws will be sponsorized, and a short advertisement will be broadcasted before each draw. The larger the number of participants, the higher the prices for advertisers will be. Easily accessible fame games are maybe a whole new industry... what do you think about that?

*Put warning labels on junk food similar to that of what tobacco products have * If a certain food exceeds a certain amount of fat, sodium, sugar or really anything terrible in excess, the packaging will have a big ol’ warning label like cigarettes do. “This product contains excess xyz and is known to cause (insert diet related disease here) Not only that, but make ads for junk food that are similar to anti-smoking ads. Like an overweight person on their death bed looking into the camera saying something along the lines of “I wish I was smarter with my eating habits” and to be honest, it’s not always the consumer’s fault, it’s the retailers/suppliers who make all the healthy options more expensive and less available. I love America but if there’s on thing I hate, it’s the food options health-wise.

*What if streaming services had playlists, or “shuffle mode”?* I love the convenience and accessibility of streaming, but I can’t stand binge watching. After a couple hours straight of the same show the formula starts peeking through the cracks. It becomes predictable and in a way loses that “spark” that grabbed me in the first place. This got me thinking, why don’t streaming services let you make playlists or shuffle random shows based on your preferences? That way you get the feeling of variety from classic television while still being able to watch exactly what you want commercial free! If Netflix, MAX, Disney+ etc. had a playlist feature would you use it?

Not only would they be able to purchase the usual coffee and pastries, they will have access to gluten free options and more healthier snacks as well. Also, dance games and fighting games. We really don't have many places to go for gathering that are nearby.

*My Grandma’s Life Hacks for Traveling * To prevent dysentery in foreign countries, drink straight gin with every meal… the alcohol kills the germs. This one seems like it might kinda work… especially if you like gin as much as my grandma. You can get two days out of your panties by turning them inside-out for the second day. This one… I just crack up every time I remember her saying this. She was very proud that she could travel anywhere (Africa, Asia, etc) with only a carry-on and two pairs of panties (which she could get four days out of before washing them out)… but, the logic of this one is not so solid to me. 😆 None of us challenged her on it, though.

My biggest problem was that I tend to slump into bad posture when I am too focused on the work at hand. And it's too late when I notice about it. The soreness and the pain have already set in. I spent the past month to create a web app that uses AI (computer vision) with your webcam to monitor your posture. You will receive alerts when you are too near to the screen (leading to forward head posture), or when your head is tilted.

As you can imagine, life for me has been very tough. I can’t use the phone, I go through a drive through and order fast food, I can’t easily go into a gas station and tell them “$25 on pump #3 please!”. Which brings me to my app idea. Can you make an app that uses the camera to read my lips, and speak for me? There are text to speech apps already that are pretty good. But I have to spend time typing, and then hit play, and wait…..and that takes time. If the App could read my lips and speak in real time…..that would help so many people………!!!!!

People can publish their trip details on our platform, which makes travel information easier and faster to reach. We'll also allow vetted users to become a travel agent by "selling" their trips on our platform. Basically these travel agents can write up their itinerary on our platform and get a share of our commission if someone books a trip based on their itinerary. How viable is this idea?

*What if you could see how busy the restaurant is on google maps?* You probably couldn't determine what the average wait time is at a restaurant is unless they self report, however you could determine how busy a place is using a technique similar to how google determines traffic. Google Maps traffic works by having phones continuously ping back their location and speed while driving, and/or on freeways. When they see a slowdown, they report that as traffic. You could use similar techniques to determine how busy a restaurant, bar or any public event is by sampling these locations and determining a baseline for each of the days. when location has a higher sample than the baseline, then it is busy.

Or perhaps 3D renderings of real trails, space, etc. It could make both VR more immersive with the addition of walking and movement but also walking and exercise more fun! We already have the smartphone VR capabilities, can someone please make this a thing!

*CULTIVATE, an app where you "water" plants that represent the things you value most in life* The UI is very simple. It's just a table with plants on it. Each plant represents things you value that you want to cultivate in your life. When you do something toward that thing, you just tap it, which waters it, keeping it alive. If you don't water a plant, it begins to die until you start watering it again. Called your mom this week? Tap the plant named "Mom", which you've told the app needs watered at least once a week before it starts to wilt. Went for a run? Tap the plant named "exercise", which you've set to require water at least 3 times a week. Spent time painting or rock climbing or playing piano? You get the drift. It doesn't get more complicated than adding a plant to your table, naming it, setting the watering requirements, and maybe choosing a unique plant avatar from a library, with varying sized of plants for varying levels of importance. Your mom or your wife might be bigger plants, whereas rock climbing might be a smaller plant.

*Resume builder App which creates a resume based on web-page you're applying on* **The idea:** Bring an expert to a meeting. In many cases, people want to get information or buy something without having any knowledge about it. For example: \- Buying your first car \- Get your website built \- Plumbing installed in your house. If the buyer is not an expert in that conversation, it's easy to get screwed over: \- The car might look nice but inside it's almost broken, causing dangerous situations or expensive repairs \- The website gets built but since the requirements were not clear it's not really working or not as feature-complete as expected \- The plumber gives you high quotes because he wants to repair more than is needed, or uses inferior materials. The app can request people in the neighbourhood to come with you to the meeting. For some meetings there is not really a locality constraint, since a virtual meeting can be sufficient. **Actors** Everyone makes a profile. Users are both "expert" and "novice" at the same time, since an expert in plumbing doesn't have to be an expert in IT as well. The expert can add their skills and their location, and get a notification if there is an expert needed. They can give a quote for their time (probably a default setting for price per hour or so). Then a time and date can be set for the meeting. Just like AirBnB, there is a review system for both parties, which justify difference in prices for the different experts. **Business model** The company takes a percentage of the price of the expert. Around 10% is a good value I think.

Also, there's almost no store I can get soda from a can or bottle if I want which i prefer over fountain drinks. Usually I would go to the gas station for this but I'd have to get out of the car. My idea is a chain of small stores that stock all types and brands of beverages: sodas, juices, different brands of water all with the convenience of a drive thru without having to worry about the guy in front of you having his lunch for 10 people prepared. And since there would be little preparation, there would be no need for an intercom system, just pull up to the window and ask for what you want.

My idea is to create an aggregation platform that pulls in these reviews, posts and comments from all of these platforms, extracts keywords (using NLP) and provides a tallied set of features and bugs that users are talking about online. The idea is to then be able to feed these keywords directly into Jira to create stories/bugs for developers to begin work on in the next sprint.

*If you get anxiety or can't say no to a approaching salesman, here's your surefire response to end that pitch, courtesy of a career salesman* My wife has always struggled to say no or I'm not interested and successfully get a pitch to end. She's too nice to be honest. So she'll stand at the booth in Costco, at a kiosk in the mall or in the driveway because a door to door salesman caught her outside. I get it. When I was younger, it just felt weird to be abrupt and try to move along. Not the case for everyone, but I understand some people experience it. As a salesman myself, we typically have a few rebuttals for each "no" we receive. But to this day, this is an instant kill for these entry level sales gigs and has made my wife's life in those instances, much more controlled. You're walking in the store, there's a booth with someone and they're waiting for you as you approach. Let's say it's AT&T. They're going to ask a question. Could be "how's your day?"maybe a "do you have a minute?" It doesn't matter. It's just an engaging question to get you talking. Here's what you do. You answer that question and if it's easier, you look at the booth or their shirt logo while answering. But you follow your answer to that question with a "I work for your competitor." Example: Seller: Hey how's it going? You: (look at the booth/shirt if it's easier for you than eye contact) It's great thanks. But I work for Verizon I'm sorry. Good luck to you. It's done. Typically the response is an immediate "oh I can't beat that" or "good for you bad for me." It's the most simplistic out you can create. No matter the industry whether it's insurance, energy, pest control etc., we can generally think of two companies in that space. That's all you need. I hope this helps if it's something you dread. All the best.

***Fan Interaction Tracking Platform*** **Problem:** Content Creators have no easy way of tracking who follows them across multiple platforms. Fans may follow them on Youtube but not Twitch, there is no way for Content Creators to see this and no way for them to offer incentives for following them on both. **Solution:** Create a platform where fans can link all of their separate social and content accounts to 1 database that the Content Creators can then use to track who is following them on what platforms and offer incentives for interacting with their content in different ways. The perfect platform would also work as an aggregator displaying all of the Content Creators content in 1 place. All their tweets, Instagram content, Youtube Videos, Live Streams in 1 place. **Features:** Achievements that can be earned by interacting with the Content Creators work in different ways on different platforms. These achievement badges can then be displayed on custom merch with the Content Creators logo on the front and the fans alias and achievements on the back. These shirts can then be worn at conventions and live events so content creators can instantly single out their fans and tell at a glance who their superfans are. The ability for the Content Creators to easily single out their superfans and offer them custom merch and other rewards. **Benefits:** Easier for Content Creators to get their fans involved with their content on other platforms. Incentives for fans to interact with the Content Creators work in ways that may not have otherwise. Tangible rewards for superfans and an easy way to identify them in the real world. **Customers:** Content Creators **Competition:** Marketing agencies that focus on driving fan interaction.

*App Limiters instead of App Timers for combating addictive apps. * Instead of app timers that don't let you use the app after a certain amount of hours (which can easily be bypassed), how about a less severe solution. App Limiters would take away addictive features or just normal features of addictive apps depending on how long you use it. Similar to App Timers it would be timer based. So for example I'll use Instagram. After 30 minutes of usage, the app is only black and white now. No more stimulating colors. After 1 whole hour, no more audio. After 1.5 hours it limits the wifi speed of the app. And no more scrolling, you have to press a button to get to the next post. And so on. That way you can still use it as much as your brain wants, but it's less and less stimulating and addictive.

Pizza shop would rather fill the car and deliver to concentrated areas, and so they'll give you a discount if they can. They also like the additional business generated from the app notification. Consumer might as well place order through this app because they’re free rolling to get additional discounts Could work well in cities with large apartment buildings.

*Automated rental kiosks for tools & other rarely used household items* The average home power drill gets used about 10-15 minutes in it's lifetime. Drills are meant to be used for over 1000 hours. This is a huge waste. Rental kiosks are becoming better and better. Places like zipcar, DVD rental kiosks, and bike rental are nearly perfected. Is it possible that we could have a small stand somewhere in the middle of the city/suburb where people could sign up for a rental access card... and then be able to rent anything? This kiosk would have to be automated somehow (no humans required) but humans could periodically come by to check that everything is in good working order and was returned correctly. People who return things late will be charged late fees. People who don't return things at all (or return fake items) will have their credit cards charged for the cost of the item new. Rental items could range from power tools, hand tools, kitchen tools, digital cameras, projectors, etc. Digital signatures could be collected for hazardous tools like power tools. Inventory collection and distribution might be tricky. Maybe you could use the rotating vending machine model like [this](http://www.vendtrade.co.uk/images/shopper2.jpg). But surely that is a solvable engineering problem. What do you think?

It's always hard to plan something considering everyone's schedule and budget is different. I came up with an idea to solve this. A friend activity planning bot. Here's how it would work: 1. You create your profile (budget, availabilities for the month, choose interests from prepopulated list of activities). 2. Invite your good friends to create theirs. 3. The bot automatically books an activity that fits into everyone's schedule, interest, and budget. It then sends everyone their invitation. This could be a monthly subscription service. Also, it would be free to use.

Start scrubbing it and your hands together and watch the filth wash right off. I know that Gojo or any pumice added soap would also work, but this is a great hack I’ve used when I didn’t have any around. It also will work to get rid of spray tan on your hands.

*Open Mic: Stand up comedy app* Audio only no video. Server with 25 or so people max. Each person is entered into the queue. The preformer has about a minute on "stage" as the default. Based on the audience response (the other people in the queue) the preformer may be on for longer. Audience members are the people next up in the queue. They have a button for laughter and a button for disapproval. Audience response determines how long a performer will be on "stage". Lots of laughter and the performer gets more stage time. Disapproval and the performer's stage time is reduced. Once done the previous preformer is entered into the bottom of the queue and they become part of the audience. The next preformer takes the stage. To prevent trolling there should be an option to report preformers. Audience disapproval / approval will be part of each users rating. That way trolls and good users can be better identified. Users with an excessively bad rating lose their ability to perform and to be an audience member. Though they may still listen. Performers will be expected to do a stand up comedy like set. Though other genres could be included. Such as song and story.

When we buy the food from the grocery store, before we put them into the refrigerator, we can use the app to scan the bar code and the app will list the food we just bought. Every time, we finish the food on the list we can just delete from our list. We can check what food we left in the refrigerator on the app at any time we want.

A text field would allow you to write your intentions for going into your phone. Taking a moment to set intentions will hopefully discourage users from mindlessly spending time on their phone. Another possibility is to have a timer/visual pop up to take a moment to be conscious before going into the phone (similar to https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aXItOY0sLRY). Ex: You could tell the app you like to take 4 breaths when you turn the phone on, the visual stays up for 4 breaths and then you see the home screen. The app could be disabled for incoming calls, when maps or music apps are open, can be skipped if you want to get right into the phone...

*Random website idea, tell me what you think.* This idea only has a few hours of brainstorming on it so figured I'd pitch it on here and see what reddit thought. This might be the stupidest thing you've read all day, but figured I'd give it a shot... My girlfriend's son always asks me funny questions like "Would you shave your head and dye it pink for $50?!?"...and of course we've all had friends say stuff along the lines like "Would you do x for $1000?!"......stuff like that. Based on that a concept for an idea came to my brain. Imagine a website where (either) the user could post something he/she would be willing to do and put a price next to it or a user posts that he/she will pay x amount if someone does y. It could potentially also include a point system where users post things they will do, other user's bid prices on them, If your bid wins you receive a certain amount of points. Points = merchandise/money...I am not even close to understanding how it exactly would work. The premise is basically taking fiverr.com's premise, and taking it to the crazy side, with obvious legal limitations lol....

*At home takeaway restaurant* Hey everyone! This is a really new idea I came up with only 1hr ago. I don't know if it's great or atrociously stupid so shoot me down if it's the latter. Here it is: Essentially it would be an app for ordering homemade food that can be picked up at the cooks home or be delivered (through uber eats or similar platform). On the cook's side of things it would allow to easily put a foot inside the restauranting business without a big setup. For example: you're a stay at home parent who makes great cookies. You register on the app (may need extra bureaucracy depending on the country's regulations) and create a 'restaurant' which sells cookies. People can now order from you and pass by your home to get them when they're ready. The platform could provide services to help setup a "at home takeaway restaurant" with ease. These would be: payment system, legal status automisation, ingredient ordering, client database (all the people with the app), delivery system and more... Happy to hear any feedback you all have :)
