1 | train | *A progress bar displayed in the back seat of the car so that the kids can see for themselves "if you're there yet"* You could actually integrate it into the satellite navigation system of the car so that the amount "full" on the bar would be set by the remaining time (trip start is empty, zero time remaining is full bar).
The progress bar could be on the back of the seats or next to the screen kids are watching movies on. | 2 | [1, 1] | 3 |
2 | train | *Why don't microwaves have a scan feature?* A lot of frozen food items have complicated cooking times. For example, 47 seconds at 30% power, then 2 minutes full power, then remove item and stir potatoes, then 2 minutes at full power.
If microwaves had a upc type of scan feature, they could scan the cooking times/rates instructions on the frozen food packet. The instructions would have to be different based on the power of the microwave obviously, but such limited instructions should be able to fit in a 2d upc code.
Yeah, obviously the microwave wouldn't be able to stir the potatoes, but it could pause with a "push start to continue" type of deal at that point. | 5 | [0, 1] | 6 |
3 | train | *A toilet that tests your urine every time you pee* It could check for pregnancy, health issues, etc. It would be beneficial to know if we need more fiber, protein, salt, etc on a regular basis too. | 7 | [0, 1] | 5 |
4 | train | *Someone should remake older cars with modern materials and safety equipment so we can drive around in beautiful cars and trucks, with more powerful, and more reliable motors.* *edit: by "modern materials and safety equipment" I meant for them to be able to pass modern crash testing and still look the same as they used to. Or at least as close as possible to what they used to look like. | 9 | [0, 1] | 2 |
5 | train | *People should be able to dial 911 from an ATM. If someone comes up to them and holds them at gunpoint, they should be able to discreetly call 911 by entering it as their PIN. This would activate a discreet security protocol where the ATM begins recording footage and local authorities are notified.* nan | 11 | [1, 1] | 5 |
6 | train | *There should be suicide crisis centers where suicidal people can go and be cared for anonymously. Nobody needs to know you need help, but it allows them to drop out and gather themselves.* if someone wants to kill themselves there should be a place they can go where it's anonymous and privacy is paramount, and every basic need is taken care of.
its not a jail or asylum but they have a tiny private room and basic normal things like tv and whatever. counselors. food and room and board.
a secondary step before ending their life. maybe let them change their mind, not javing to worry about the daily grind. | 13 | [1, 1] | 2 |
7 | train | *Drones should be used to search for missing hikers, and should have survival goods like water, bandages, etc., on them.* That way you can A: cover more searched area with more drones, and B: deliver valuable lifesaving equipment as soon as they're found. It would only be more practical than human operated helicopters, however, if they were sent out in enough numbers to out-search their human counterpart. | 14 | [1, 1] | 2 |
8 | train | *Would be cool if the self checkout system at the grocery told you if your purchase was unique. Like, you are the first person to ever buy a particular combination of goods.* Or maybe it timed you. And fast checkout times were rewarded with coupons and discounts. Incentive ppl to check out more quickly. Gamified a bit. Could be fun. | 15 | [1, 0] | 3 |
9 | train | *HandsOn : A company run by interns for job experience* What if an entire company could be run by interns?
Tired of the catch 22 of you need experience in a job to do a job?
Want to be a Sys Admin? We'll let you create documentation, price suppliers, and if we have the budget that quarter, install / run things.
Accountant? Run our numbers, and create reports you can show to your next employer.
CEO CFO? Congratz, you're now helping move HandsOn forward, increasing employee numbers, finding referrals, checking our numbers.
Someone gets stuck? Doesn't know how to do something?
We'll staff problem solving generalists who know how to walk through any problem logically. | 16 | [0, 1] | 5 |
10 | train | *Realistic Audio Books* An audio book, where each character have a different voice depending on the characters, along with a separate voice for the narrator.
| 22 | [1, 0] | 2 |
11 | train | *App that tells you the history of your current location.* Imagine opening an app and getting the history of wherever you are. Being able to navigate and read about things that are in your sight (100mts) maybe as a sort of low resolution AR.
Statues, plaques, fountains, art why they were put up how long they've been there, history behind them. Parks when opened by whom, their background. Important events through history that happened in those locations. Road information, previous names of the roads, perhaps movies that have been shot on them, interesting facts. Monuments of course, their history, links to tours or more information on them. Ruins, hills, lakes, dams, bridges, everything around you basically.
This would probably need to have some sort of settings/filters so you could adjust how much you see- maybe for example only seeing monuments and statues or only seeing things related to a certain period in history or even to categories like linked to royalty etc.
Then you could build lists, maps, and tours of these locations customised for yourself or access ones made by others- locals, historians, specialists in a certain field.
Realistically what I imagine will probably be a never expanding massive project something like Wikipedia but maybe it can be started in a small area and then see how it goes? Or maybe Google might be interested in it as a very cool addition to maps? | 23 | [1, 1] | 4 |
12 | train | *Google street view type app, but for the interior of large grocery stores so you know exactly where to find things ahead of time for a quick and easy grocery run.* You would log on to your local grocery store app and type in the items you need to get and the the app would send you an efficient map of where to go to puck out each item. Store aisle, location, shelf placement, etc. | 29 | [1, 1] | 4 |
13 | train | *How to clear a stuffy nose in under a minute!* Worked a treat for me today, thought I would share it with you all.
Step 1: Breathe in deeply.
Step 2: Slowly exhale all of your air and hold your breath until you are on empty.
Step 3: Pinch your nose to avoid cheating.
Step 4: Rock your head back and fourth slowly taking 2 seconds from looking at the sky to looking at the ground.
Step 5: Do it until you absolutely NEED a breath.
Step 6: Enjoy your clear nose.
Step 7: Profit!
This just made life a little easier for me. | 30 | [1, 1] | 4 |
14 | train | *nan* Don't watch shows with short episodes or play games with short arcady levels. You'll check the clock everytime you finish one and it'll make time drag on. Watch long movies, play endless games or my favorite: be productive on something that gets you ‘’in the zone†like coding, reading or writing | 34 | [1, 1] | 2 |
15 | train | *What the pic ?* A game where people join public rooms and have 10 minutes to guess the linked wikipedia page to an image.
For instance, you join a room and have a pic of "Place Vendome" (which is a square in Paris). People start guessing the first one who guesses the correct name (which is title of wikipedia page) wins.
It can be a picture of the Large hadron collider, grapefruit, or whatever! | 36 | [1, 0] | 3 |
16 | train | *A web-app that settles the 'where are we going to lunch' dispute* A few friends and I are developing this app where you can send an invite to friends essentially saying 'hey let's go somewhere to lunch!' and specify a time, then it generates a list of nearby places and you all vote on where to show up. | 37 | [1, 1] | 3 |
17 | train | *A fake Social Security number you can give to those social security scam callers that when used will be relayed to the FBI.* This thought came about after I received eight calls in a single day from a robocall voice claiming that my social security number had been deactivated due to suspicious activity.
If this did exist, it would serve two purposes: It would allow normal people to troll these troll numbers, and it would help the FBI find and prosecute these scammers. | 38 | [0, 1] | 5 |
18 | train | *Cities with abandoned houses should sell lottery tickets where the prize is a brand new fixed up house.* If you got 40,000 people to buy a lottery ticket for five bucks, you could fix up an abandoned property that the city owns, then give it away as a prize. This would lead to less abandoned houses, and higher property value in neighborhoods. People like lotteries, and a 1 in 40,000 chance of winning is pretty good for a five dollar lottery. All profits made from lottery would go towards the reconstruction of houses. This would benefit the local economy a little, due to the construction.
I think this lottery would become the preferred lottery for people, as all the winnings go towards the prize and each prize has a set amount of tickets that can be sold for it. So buyers would be playing against each other. You'd probably have to set restrictions on how many tickets a person can buy. You could also have the purchase of lottery tickets be through deduction from your paycheck, so the city could distribute the amount of tickets your allowed to buy based on income. | 40 | [1, 1] | 5 |
19 | train | *A treadmill synced with Google Street View, so that you can "walk around" any city* A treadmill can be combined with a (large) screen installed in front of it, showing Google Street View, in such a way that when the person on the treadmill "walks", the view on the screen advances accordingly with each step, creating the illusion of walking along whichever street is being displayed on the screen | 42 | [1, 0] | 4 |
20 | train | *Include quality of life scores in the patient information leaflet
* When drugs are tested for approval, not only side effects should be recorded vs. placebo, but also the average subjective life quality score at various points in time. For example scores after 24 hours, 1 week, 1 month, 6 months, and 2 years. These standardized scores, in relation to scores under placebo, should be printed into the patient information leaflet.
The purpose would be to see the overall benefit of the drug over time, compared to placebo, including all effects and side effects. You could also see if a drug offers a long term benefit or only for a short time span. It could also better represent the duration, severity and impairment of side effects. In addition, the impact of different drugs could be compared by comparing the scores. | 43 | [0, 1] | 3 |
21 | train | *An exclusive night club called "Birthdays". You're only allowed in on your birthday. Even the heavy rotating staff is required to have their birthday while on shift. Group birthday cake candle blowout & champaigne with everyone in club.* Outsource the cake to a local bakery, get them to invest in the club.
EDIT: After popular demand, Birthdays is now allowing 3 guests to accompany those with birthdays to the club.
*Guests without birthdays will have limitted access to the club's activities and areas.*
EDIT 2: In tradition of *Birthdays* values and culture, annual stockholder meetings will be restricted to those with birthdays held on day of event, CEO's birthday.
**Birthdays' "Champaigne" product does not contain any champagne.* | 45 | [1, 0] | 5 |
22 | train | *Idea: a button on advertisements that says "I'm never going to buy this product so stop showing me it."* It would save untold money for advertisers and time for people who would otherwise be wasting time watching ads or waiting to click "skip." Ads have kind of been moving in this direction, and algorithms have been developed to survey what kinds of products a person is likely to want, but they need to go further.
And in some cases like mine, there needs to be a button that says "I don't have any disposable income so I'm not going to buy anything that anybody tries to sell me no matter how well they pitch it." | 46 | [1, 1] | 1 |
23 | train | *Kissing gum* Some company should come up with a type of gum that has a chemical that makes a flavor only when combined with a chemical in another piece of gum.
So like one person starts chewing gum A, let's say, and the other person is chewing gum B. They each have an underlying flavor, but when the two people start kissing, a chemical reaction takes place and a new flavor is formed. | 49 | [1, 0] | 6 |
24 | train | *Make marriage licenses expire every 10 years, allowing couples to nullify their unions through apathy rather than divorce.* Allows religious couples to get "divorced" without actually divorcing.
Makes more use out of a wedding dress, depending on how many times you remarry.
Cuts down on the commitment angle somewhat, though ten years isn't short.
Don't have money for a big destination wedding? Save for the next decade and if you still love each other get hitched in the Bahamas. Hate your family? Elope and invite them to "the next one".
Increases state/county revenue, possibly more jobs too with increased marriage licensure.
More bachelor parties. | 50 | [1, 1] | 6 |
25 | train | *You give your car a service, why not your house. Have a service for your house every 5years.* A company that you contact and guy comes round and gives your house a service every 5 years. They check plumbing, electric, gas, carbon monoxide, damp etc and then you can get them fix it or you can shop around but by doing it you lower your house insurance and increase house price. | 51 | [1, 1] | 5 |
26 | train | *No toilet paper or soap on trains and flights?* If you are ever on a train or flight and when you use the bathroom there are no toilet paper or soap left. Try checking behind the mirror. Usually a push on the bottom corner will open the mirror and there usually will be spare toiletries inside. | 52 | [1, 1] | 4 |
27 | train | *An app where you buddy up and make deals with strangers to share subscriptions to services. For example, you have Netflix (Monthly Standard $12.99) but you also want Showtime (Monthly $10.99). You share accounts with someone who has Showtime and wants Netflix (they pay the additional $2.00 to you)* The accounts are tied together so if your buddy cuts you off, he loses access to your service automatically as well.
Obviously certain subscription services would be worth more than others (i.e Amazon Prime has many more attributes than HBO) so people on the app would hassle and try to retrieve more than one subscription.
The greatest challenge would be of course making sure that people don't cheat their way out of not paying their own monthly dues while still riding on their stranger's services. | 53 | [1, 1] | 4 |
28 | train | *Website that tracks your social circle's post apocalypse preparedness?* Whether it's zombies, nukes or a plague; we all toy with unhealthy fantasies concerning the end of days.
What if there was a site where you could create a circle of local people you plan to reboot society with. Each person could list their valuable knowledge or skills (firearms, farming, water purification, candle-making, distilling, etc...), so you could see what your sore points are and recruit or educate accordingly. Sound fun?
| 54 | [1, 0] | 3 |
29 | train | *Adult Movie Theatre* No, this isn’t a movie theater that shows X-rated films and pornos, it’s a movie theater where people 21+ can drink alcohol and vape/consume/possibly smoke cannabis.
Here it will be socially acceptable and allowed to be drunk or high, or both. Patrons can bring their consumables with them or buy it at the theater.
Ideally, the movie theater will be licensed to sell alcohol and marijuana to patrons. Vape cartridges, pre-rolled joints, backwoods, edibles, and cannabis infused drinks etc. will be sold. As well as liquor, beer, etc.
Depending on the viability of the following this is a possibility: smoking joints or blunts won’t be allowed just as cigarettes in public places isn’t really socially acceptable anymore. The theater might be limited to vaping products, edibles and cannabis-infused drinks. From here, individual Smoking and Non-Smoking theaters could exist within the same building. | 55 | [1, 1] | 2 |
30 | train | *Every time someone makes a bid on Ebay, another minute should automatically be added to the duration of the auction. In that way, buyers would not be determined by who was lucky enough to bid in the last second, but instead who was actually willing to pay the most money* nan | 56 | [1, 1] | 2 |
31 | train | *An app like Yelp but for business ethics. It rates businesses on objective criteria set by the user. Users could sort by political contributions, worker benefits, stock buybacks, class action lawsuits, black owned, employee owned, fair trade, union, etc.* nan | 60 | [1, 0] | 3 |
32 | train | *YouTube videos should have a reserved space in the upper left corner to briefly list the credentials of any video that offer medical or scientific or academic information or advice. Else they put a warning sign.* This might not take care of everything, but it can help a lot. Plus it can be used for watermarks in approving non deep fakes.
In fact the FCC should require major social media platforms to do this.
| 61 | [1, 1] | 2 |
33 | train | *App Idea - Kitchen Timer* The idea is that you can load meals and the time it takes to cook them. So you can have 2 or 3 timers at the same time when you cook a lot, and not lose any meal because of burning or taking it out early.
It may also hold recipies, a "snooze" functions to let it continue a little more. And I also have thought that you could also save where you are cooking (microwave, oven...) because times vary according to that. What are your thoughts on the idea? | 63 | [1, 1] | 3 |
34 | train | *A social media website only for AI bots. When you sign your bot up, it needs to prove that it’s a bot. It registers itself.* This wouldn’t be a twitter clone (which exists). I mean like a dark gritty AI social media battleground where AIs are connected and are free to like / post whatever content they want. They are rate limited. Maybe like 5 posts and 100 likes per day. I imagine the content would devolve into some really strange as the AI compete with one another for likes. | 64 | [1, 0] | 2 |
35 | train | *Make a 'How it's Made' episode about Chocolate Chip Cookies. Start it at the Big Bang.* I mean, we all know you use flour for the dough, but where does the wheat for the flour come from? Where do the nutrients for the soil in which that wheat grows come from? If the Wheat needs sunlight to grow, how does the Sun work? Explain fission. What about the life story of Wallace, the Brazilian cocoa bean farmer and his many ancestors? If the Cookies are getting made, how was Wallace made? What if Wallace ate a chocolate chip cookie? Where did those come from? Where am I? I don't know who I am. | 66 | [1, 0] | 1 |
36 | train | *Sleeping Hack* When sleeping on your side. Place one pillow between your legs, and another one between your arm and waist (as if you were hugging it). This Will prevent tensión on lower, Upper back and neck as it makes your posture straight since you are placing your body weight towards just one side. | 67 | [1, 1] | 2 |
37 | train | *Dating app that reveals the photo the more you talk to someone.* You originally only message them based off of their description and maybe every 10 minutes (of solid talking) the picture unblurrs a little bit by bit until you can finally see the full picture after talking for a full hour | 73 | [1, 0] | 3 |
38 | train | *Merge your photo album with a history of your most played songs. So that when you scroll through your photo album, you have the option to auto play the songs that represent that era of your life.* Essentially annotating your photo album with songs or vice versa. Would be great as an app, but even better would be if iOS/Android did it themselves. | 76 | [1, 0] | 2 |
39 | train | *An app for deaf people to check for noises.* I'm hearing, but both of my parents are/were profoundly (completely) Deaf. Every time I visit, there is inevitably something making a noise they're unaware of. An alarm beeping, a pipe knocking, a light buzzing. They once drove round for an entire day with their car alarm blaring!
Now, I know apps to check noise levels exist - decibel measurers etc. That's not what I mean - my mum doesn't need to know how loud something is. She needs to check if a noise is being made, a description of that noise, and its location. I can't seem to find anything like that.
I realise that finding the location of a noise with only one microphone on a phone presents a problem, but it could at least tell you whether a noise is getting louder if you walk towards it. A description of the noise, a la shazam, would be most useful. | 82 | [1, 1] | 7 |
40 | train | *Use shower curtain rings to hang scarves, shawls, leggings, and other small garments
* Our hall closet has one of those long metal racks with a narrow bar along the bottom. I have a sizable collection of scarves, shawls, and silk scarves that I like keeping out and available all year. Keeping them in reach and organized is easy with round shower curtain rings if your clothing rod is thin enough.
Unlatch the curtain rings, hook them around the rod and re-latch them. Loop your scarves, shawls, and other small or thin garments through them, and let them hang. They’ll be easy to reach, protected from damage, and take up little space. | 83 | [1, 1] | 5 |
41 | train | *Blind Audition App* I have this idea of an app that allows users to hear someone singing. If they like the person enough to "turn around" then the actual video of the person singing will be shown, and the person's account will be followed with new videos that they post from that point on being added to the users feed. There could also be other options to add filters such as genre of music, artist, song, etc. Options like those could be part of a premium add-on to generate revenue. Is this a type of app that could gain some traction, or is it a dud. I've always just loved good singers, and feel that there should be a way to discover them that is easier than searching for covers on instagram or youtube. Please comment or add suggestions. Thanks. | 85 | [1, 1] | 4 |
42 | train | *WizzAir (possibly works at other similar airlines) free extra legroom trick* During online check-in it offers you to select seat for money (or you will be assigned for free), this time you can check how many non occupied seats left and where. If you see there is only place at extra legroom then complete online check-in otherwise wait and check back hour later. 99% of the cases 3-4 hours before the actual flight there is only 2-3 seats left on the plane and all of them are the extra legroom ones, because system always tries to assign worts seats, but if the worst is the extra legroom, what system can do? It gives to you for free! I used this trick in last 6-7 years and never seated in normal seat :) | 87 | [1, 0] | 6 |
43 | train | *A blind dating app with a smart business model* I have the idea for a dating app, that does without looking at someone's appearance or someone at all. The premise of the app is that you fill in 40 odd questions about yourself, then 40 questions about a potential date, and based on this information an algorithm can set up a date. The idea came from watching a dating show called first dates.
The business model is not some stupid premium account with extra options and shit, but actually it is a two sided platform.
My idea is that, in order to make sure people show up to the blind date, or people of one gender take advantage of the other by getting free lunches/dinners, people need to pay up front. Like 6 euros for a coffee date, 15 euros for lunch, 30 for dinner. And restaurants and bars can sign up for couples to be sent their way, by paying a small percentage over every date that is at their restaurant.
By setting up your preferences (with a little lean way), the dates you are open for a date and setting the willing distance to travel, restaurant tables can be reserved, and you will be taken to your seat based on a code. The other person will have the same code, so this makes it a match.
I would say it is more aimed at people that are looking for a relationship instead of one night stands and stuff. It also has that element of adventure.
I want to call the app FirstFolded, because it is the opposite of Blind date (blindfolded/first date). Its a dating app without messaging or swiping. | 89 | [1, 0] | 4 |
44 | train | *App/web page for keeping kids quiet* There are some apps and webpages that are intended to help teachers keep the noise down in the classroom. However, the ones I've seen only encourage kids to be loud.
For example, there is one that makes balls bounce around if it's too loud. Of course kids want to shout and make the balls bounce.
My thought is a forest or ocean scene where animals and other creatures come out if it's quiet enough. Every x number of seconds a new animal could come into view.
If kids are loud then it scares the animals away. They would be motivated to try to get to the next animal they didn't see last time. | 90 | [1, 1] | 3 |
45 | train | *A software that can convert areas from google maps into a 3d road layout architecture.* Ok, I'm not sure if this exists, but let me explain a little. So you get the software which has a sort of built in Google maps in it. You can either draw a perimeter, put down lat and long points, or just enter the name of a city, county, or country (example, Manhattan). The software will then pull that section of the map and make a very simple outline such as land and water borders and roads with the blocks in a 1:1 scale. (Or you can choose what scale; like 1, .5, .25, .001, etc.). The out line would be completely flat, but in 3D, allowing you to edit elevation, textures, and add in buildings, trees, sidewalks in an accurate scale. Such a software can be useful for things like creating a video game map, 3D printing models of towns, or just for the fun of it. I'm sorry if I'm not being clear, but this is only a basic idea I have that I should expand a little more on. | 91 | [1, 0] | 2 |
46 | train | *How to get rid of body odor in a hurry.* All you need is a stainless steel spoon and some water. Take the spoon and get it wet then rub it over your parts that smell. The stainless steel will get rid of the odor. Tested myself on both hands and pits.
Witch hazel on a cloth or paper towel will also do it, just make sure you got the kind without alcohol. | 93 | [1, 1] | 6 |
47 | train | *Duolingo + VR = Become fluent in a language by (virtually) talking to someone.* I often hear that to learn a language it's important to actually practice and 'see' other people speaking that language.
It could even be kinda like role playing. Say, I know only english and have never been to germany but I'm trying to learn german. The VR app starts up, you wake up in the bed and subtitles appear on the screen that you're supposed to say. Then maybe your wife wakes up beside you and you're supposed to say your dialogues that appear on the screen. You go to work, but stop at a coffee shop before continuing. Basically there'll be a bunch of opportunities to talk. Then maybe you have to present a report that you already have prepared earlier. This would be like reciting an essay or something in a realistic environment. Then you have to go to a party or something. Pretty much a 'german/italian/whatever life simulator' if you will.
I would totally buy this.
On the technical side, I think something like those little wireless motion tracking dots could be stuck on a native speakers lips and they could be made to do the voiceovers for the 'game'. So that not only do we get the proper native way of speaking in that language but also how their mouth moves.
To judge how well the users are doing, it could have a machine learning algorithm. Like take a bunch of speeches or maybe even audio from german tv shows (for example), transcribe them and the algorithm can then learn to identify who's saying what and how accurately. (This is just basic audio-based natural language processing. Like Google now) | 97 | [1, 1] | 4 |
48 | train | *Turning on the alarm when you leave your house should automatically turn off power to appliances you are worried about (e.g., the oven, microwave, etc.).* This could be done by turning off power to a subset of electrical outlets (colored green say).
The kitchen could have a red (always on) electrical outlet for the refrigerator and a green electrical outlet for the oven and microwave. Other rooms throughout the house could also have these green and red electrical outlets. | 98 | [1, 1] | 4 |
49 | train | *Multi-Color absorption glasses for defense against non-lethal control forms such as lasers and 'dazzlers'.* Three independent filters, red green and blue with a sensor in the middle of the glasses. Small electrical currents cause the filters to polarize independently to match whatever color is coming in at high intensity, absorbing the energy before it reaches your eyes.
I wonder if polarized (mirrored) glasses would have a similar effect? | 99 | [1, 1] | 2 |
50 | train | *Amazon creates a virtual reality online shopping experience, where you're in a white room like in the matrix, then you can say "I need *item* ... lots of *item*" and then isles come racing past showing all of the items you can buy. Then you place the items in your virtual shopping cart and check out* nan | 100 | [1, 0] | 4 |
51 | train | *A keyboard with holographic keys* A keyboard which changes its keys to whatever language you have set on windows (don't know if other OS can do it as easily as windows but you get the idea), like little hologram blocks that show the letter assigned to the key depending on the language you chose. Would be relatively useful when writing in multiple languages without having to put stickers on your keys, especially if it's more than two languages. | 101 | [1, 1] | 5 |
52 | train | *Pay teachers more with ad revenue. They show an ad before class starts and randomly in the middle, but kids subscribed to School Prime can skip the ads.* Want an ad free learning experience? Sign up for School Prime now and get a free 30-day trial. Students with School Prime also get to enjoy free 2-day grading. Get your papers graded and returned for free in just 2-days and in some cases free 1-day grading is available. | 103 | [1, 0] | 3 |
53 | train | *A community app that lets people in a city give the smoothest routes for skating or biking* When I skate somewhere I hate going through streets with potholes or terrible pavement and uneven sidewalks, but what if there was a way that people could give a rating on a street based on its ‘ride-ability’ so the that you would put your destination on the app and the app would configure the best route to get there without having to deal with nasty streets | 104 | [1, 1] | 4 |
54 | train | *What if netflix/hbo/hulu and other streaming sites had a "language learning mode" where it replaces random words in the subtitles with words in the language you're trying to learn, so you understand the word because of the context, and learn what the word means so you can build a vocabulary.* nan | 106 | [1, 1] | 6 |
55 | train | *Speed Dating but time is 24 hours and medium is chat* there are tons of dating apps available in the play store but all of the do only one thing right, they match top 20% boys with the top 20% girls , while the rest of the users are lost in the sea of ignorance and loneliness i.e. no one right swipes them and they don't get to talk with anyone.
While apps exists (like Omegle) which match u with strangers but most of the people are here for the dirty stuff and desperate max and there is a high chance the chat will last for less than a minute, even app like these don't help.
to solve this problem I create this app where u are connected with a stranger as per ur preferences and u are connected for next 24 hours and u can't disconnect in between. the chat will finish automatically end after 24 hours. and heres the best part now if u like the person u can send friend request and if the person likes u as well then u become friends and talk everyday on the app. in case u didn't like the person you can just ignore the friend request. this will lead to you having genuine internet friends, and later when u trust the person enough u can share snap/insta/fb/Whatsapp/KIK/discord whatever and live happily there after. | 107 | [1, 1] | 2 |
56 | train | *A mailing address that is tagged to you (not where you live)* So I have moved around a lot the last couple of years and therefore I don't always update my mailing address, for stuff like my bank account I leave it at my parents house.
I find it frustrating that mail goes to a physical location rather than following an individual, it is like if your email address was tied to a laptop rather than a user. Each time you get a new phone or laptop you have to go and redirect your email - madness!
The solution that I am thinking about is that instead of providing websites with a mailing address you provide them with a link to profile that holds your address (exact details on how that works TBC), then each time you move you update your address on your profile and all your mail follows you.
Still at the idea stage but would love any initial reactions | 108 | [1, 1] | 6 |
57 | train | *A website to post grammatical errors that readersfind in books. Readers can get points for every error they find.* The errors would have to be verified by other readers before it's validated.
This can be a fun way to get 'rewarded' for focussed reading, and if it gets big, it'd be a nice way for publishers to correct the errors in a next edition. | 112 | [1, 1] | 3 |
58 | train | *If you feel a cold coming on, sleep the entire day no matter what* My girlfriend taught me this and it changed my life. Seems obvious, but I would keep working as long as I could to avoid taking time off, and end up a lot sicker. Now as soon as I can feel phlegm, I take the day and sleep literally all day. I do nothing but rest. Literally nothing. And generally the next day, my body has been given the upper hand and I feel a lot better. Cut down on my sick days by a ton by letting my body catch up and recover before it even really hits. | 113 | [1, 1] | 2 |
59 | train | *An app where you swipe through ads Tinder style* You earn money through swiping. You can also click through the ad to see the product.
Ad companies get to test their ads by seeing how effective their ad campaign is immediately. You can also submit your impressions/thoughts regarding the ad for additional money. | 116 | [1, 1] | 4 |
60 | train | *A reality TV show where billionaires try living on minimum wage for at least a month.* They would also be cut off from their own house(s), car(s), etc... but instead given 'average' lodging and vehicles comparable to what minimum wage workers make.
The people on this show would be either politicians or millionaires who inherited their money - people that worked for their fortune wouldn't be a good fit. | 120 | [1, 0] | 3 |
61 | train | *What about instead of tinder matching, you have date auctions?* Like someone posts: X time, y place, k activity. With photos and a profile. Then other users can say they want to be the one to join him or her at the activity. Then the poster gets to choose who can come and do the activity with him. | 121 | [1, 0] | 5 |
62 | train | *nan* Add mini carabiners to any loops on the outside of your bag, then you can attach anything that itself has a loop so you don't need to carry it | 122 | [1, 1] | 2 |
63 | train | *A clothing app that shows the inventory of all clothing in the stores near you and let’s you pick outfits and shows you where to get each item you pick for the lowest price.* So the inventory of all the stores near you would be compiled into one big online catalog and you can choose a whole outfit, shoes, pants, shirts etc...and it will tell you where to get every item you picked for the lowest price based on the inventory of the stores near you. What do you think? | 123 | [1, 0] | 3 |
64 | train | *An idea that could help people and keep you from wasting your money.* Maybe this already exists, but I couldn't find evidence of it through the Googles, so it almost certainly doesn't exist on a large scale. So, I was thinking about this Amazon gift card that I just used, and how how I ended up with .12 cents left on it. And now, I feel bad because I'll probably throw that card in to a drawer and forget about it until it expires. Why doesn't someone create a a site where people can give their gift card information and allow the operators to put it into a pool of other people's cards with just a few cents left on them and then use the accumulated money toward some charity. I know the funds can't be transferred but maybe just to buy school supplies for inner city kids. And those America Express and Visa gift cards could be used for anything. Just a thought. | 124 | [1, 1] | 5 |
65 | train | *beverage dispenser membership* The idea is to make what netflix did for movies, applied to beverages. You pay monthly for a special cup that has a chip activated system that unlocks the dispenser. They could be at restaurants, along sidewalks, in parks, etc. like vending machines. The appeal of having the membership is if you frequently consume beverages it's cheaper for the consumer, while attracting a larger customer base to offset the cut in profits for the vendors. It could be advertised as basically all you can drink, though certain limits would be implemented to avoid health/liability issues, or waste. | 126 | [1, 0] | 3 |
66 | train | *Auctions for prime-time reservations* It makes no sense to me that people pay the same for a table Friday at 7:30 PM and a Tuesday at 10:30 PM. There should definitely be some price variation.
What are you thoughts on an auction-based marketplace for restaurant reservations? We've built a simple prototype for NYC in case you are interested. | 128 | [1, 0] | 4 |
67 | train | *Instead of having to solve puzzles to break out of an escape room, you solve puzzles to get IN to a room. Could be like a bank robbery scenario or something and start on the outside of the building and players have to look all around it to find a way in to it.* nan | 129 | [0, 0] | 4 |
68 | train | *Just a random idea that I'm honestly hoping actually exists already* So an app that can be integrated with all streaming sites ( netflix, prime etc)
Basically I always have the issue of when I go to watch a movie I'll get half way through and have to go out, I'll fall asleep etc and then a few days later when I go to finish it I'll forget what's happened so far ( not completely but enough for the first few minutes to be confusing)
So I had the idea of an app that sees how far the movie has elapsed and loads up either a video akin to those "previously on Buffy the vampire slayer" type snippets or the star wars text introductions etc with a brief run down or something just to reiterate what's happened in the movie this far ( think of the information just quickly being given like you're watching a quick trailer/advert/commercial before the movie starts)
That way I wouldn't have to rewatch the last ten minutes I already viewed just to remember what the hell is going on | 130 | [1, 1] | 6 |
69 | train | *A restaurant where every thing on the menu is the "last meal" of a famous death row inmate* John Wayne Gacy- fried shrimp, fried chicken, French fries, and strawberries
Dobie Gillis Williams- 12 chocolate bars and some ice cream
Edmund Zagorski- Picked ham hock and pig tails
The list is long and it might be crazy enough to work! | 131 | [1, 0] | 7 |
70 | train | *Product Gap between movie theater screens and Netflix* This isn't a clear-set idea, but just an observation of mine that I want to shop around. I'm a huge movie buff, so I still love going to the theater, and to me, there's something about the hall experience, the big screens, the great audio system that I just can't beat. But Netflix is taking over the content industry, and video-on-demand is the future, and it's here.
I don't think Netflix will be the primary content creator/distributor of the future, but it'll be on the Internet, and it certainly won't be in the theaters. But is there a hardware gap?
I like watching stuff on my phone, but I really love watching action films, horror films, etc. in a big theater, and would like to do this more of the time, conveniently.
My idea: a VR headset/ecosystem that simulates the surround sound and big picture video while delivering the same content as if it was made for a movie screen.
I don't know if the idea is solid, but is the problem real? I don't want to see movie screens and the whole experience wash away, but am I just fighting against the tide? | 134 | [1, 0] | 3 |
71 | train | *An IMDB for podcasts* You are listening to a podcast and a guest comes on who you really enjoy. Wouldn't it be sweet to be able to IMDB that guest to find what other podcasts said guest have appeared on? It would also contain information on all podcasts; topics, hosts etc.
Also a bonus feature: A detailed guide to what time to start listening to WTF episodes if you want to skip Marc Maron's initial rants. | 135 | [1, 0] | 3 |
72 | train | *A QR code at the table that restaurant guests scan to access the menu so they don’t have to be handed a physical menu others have touched before them.* Would save on some cost, a lot of paper, could be updated in real time if an item runs out, as well as removing that whole touching a shared surface thing. | 136 | [1, 1] | 1 |
73 | train | *A device that gives you a slight electric shock when you use filler words. I imagine it in the form of a necklace pendant.* **Why?**
A fast way to correct your speech.
**How it works**
A necklace pendant with an embedded microphone, audio pattern recognition software, and an electric shocker.
It has 3 buttons. One is used to add additional filler words, the other is used to delete the latest word you added, the 3rd is used to configure the shock intensity.
Add all the words you want to stop using and adjust the strength of the electric shock to your comfort level. | 137 | [1, 1] | 6 |
74 | train | *Hospitals with an option for a warrior's death. As your loved ones gather round your bedridden form, a nurse hands you a surgical battleaxe. Your family says their tearful goodbyes as a heavily armored beast of a man bursts through the doorway and morningstars you in the face. Death...with dignity.* nan | 139 | [1, 0] | 5 |
75 | train | *Business idea for the gas stations* Hi. I’m sorry to bother you. I need your advice.
Yesterday stupid event happened with me.
Yesterday night I drove to my wife’s parents.
Before I decided to go on the gas station.
I stopped my car pushed in the pistol and went to pay.
I payed after that I sat in my car and drove out.
I forget to get out the pistol back and it’s stayed in my tank.
Mankind invented cars in early 20 of century.
Why don’t we have automatic gas stations????
You came up to the gas station.
You don’t need to went out of your car and you need to pay only from your phone.
Robot on the gas station will be work automatically.
I never ever seen this before…
Is there automatic gas stations?
I really know how to make it.
Do I need to think about it or I have to get rid of these stupid thoughts???? | 140 | [1, 1] | 2 |
76 | train | *AI written research papers issued to students with intentional errors that students need to fact-check for a grade* Instead of trying to figure out whether a submitted work was written entirely or enhanced by AI each student is issued a lengthy research paper already written by AI which students would have to comb through several times over and fact check for a grade. AI could write a slightly different paper for each student and retain a key of the disputed facts/figures/citations to be used to grade the students work in finding the errors. | 143 | [0, 1] | 5 |
77 | train | *A restaurant that only does birthday parties. Each day there's one big party and one big cake for everyone sharing a birthday.* Less worry about booking and planning.
The cake, party supplies, and entertainment are already provided.
You get to meet people who share a birthday with you.
edit: You could even come alone if you're having a birthday and have no one to party with you. | 144 | [1, 1] | 4 |
78 | train | *theactualfuckingrecipe.com, a website that translates long ass recipe pages with a story that goes on an on into a concise easy to read recipe* Text: A lot of recipe pages have stories that go on and on and so I'd like a website where you can paste a web address from one of those nonsense novels/recipes and it would translate the page into a list of ingredients, measurements, and steps, with maybe just a picture of the finished product.
No fuss, muss, or bother. | 147 | [1, 1] | 5 |
79 | train | *A tech concierge for Boomers* Outright, I understand this idea has a shelf life - it’ll probably die with the boomers.
Idea is - create a service where people who are tech disabled can call to get assistance as and when they need it. Target market would be millennials and the younger gen - they’d buy this “monthly subscription†for their parents to avoid getting calls about “how do I upload this to Facebookâ€, “how do I delete this from my emailâ€, etc. Just simple stuff that we kids have to solve for our parents.
The service providers would be young folks - they’d get paid per hour.
WDYT? | 148 | [1, 1] | 4 |
80 | train | *Car with a Drone* So the idea is that inside your car is this smallish screen for shows the video feed and controls of the drone. The drone will come out of a compartment on the vehicle and fly above and forward to give more aerial view of traffic conditions and real time gps analysis. You can even just do camera view where the drone is synced to the Car at a a given height to achieve unique views of possible crash. When done it just flys back into the compartment and charges for future use. | 150 | [1, 0] | 6 |
81 | train | *A tv show where during the pilot, the characters flip a coin about something trivial. Then, the tv show splits in two timelines, one where the coin is heads and one for tails. Over the season, the two timelines get wildly different until they are different genres at the end.* nan | 151 | [1, 0] | 4 |
82 | train | *Create a Youtube channel which teaches pronunciation visually using CGI animations. Instead of students trying to blindly parrot their teachers they can see exactly how to position their tongue, teeth, lips, and how air should travel.* You could do this with any language. It would be most useful for difficult sounds (think of guttural Scandinavian sounds, Chinese, etc.)
The greedy goal would be to make videos appropriate for use in classrooms. In Asia alone this would be a huge volume of views. The ‘nice’ goal would be to lessen the financial burden on families who spend money on private language lessons (there’s enormous pressure on kids in Asia to do well on English tests).
I got this idea after watching a short video by Thomas Schwenke where he explains the inner mechanical functioning of an AK-47 rifle. https://youtu.be/ZyajvvsuGcU
I thought, ok, instead of gunpowder gases and firing pins, why not show how your teeth, tongue, and lips move as you make different sounds. You’d also show the flow of air and even whether the vocal chords should vibrate.
You could rig up a mouth motion capture gizmo if it’s unclear how the mouth moves for difficult sounds.
Details to make it usable in classrooms:
The advertisement should never be the video type, only the banners near the bottom.
Ideally the video should be self explanatory without the need for narration (think Primitive Technology style).
Also there should be playlists for each pair of languages so menu and voice/caption instructions match the learners (Japanese people learning English, Russians learning Chinese..). Or there could be separate channels to simplify things.
The student or teacher should be able to choose different types of videos. Videos with voiced instructions or captions only; repeated repetitions or useful series of sounds or words (TH sounds, soft or hard vowels, R vs L, etc.), very slow or normal speed.
The channel name should be simple so it’s easy to share. For example ‘English4U’, ‘German4U’.
Many channels teaching English (and other languages) already exist but none use advanced animations to show how to enunciate. It’s just ‘copy my sound!’. Or instructions in English telling you how to make the sound (but the student doesn’t understand what you’re saying...).
Anyhoo, I thought this was a neat idea.
Preemptive edit: yes, I am sad and yes, I’m in Japan. | 152 | [1, 1] | 4 |
83 | train | *Companies such as Microsoft/Google/Facebook/LinkedIn/Apple/Netflix/Wikipedia/Twitter/etc. should throttle accounts belonging to politicians opposing Net Neutrality to 0.1KB/s for a month* Every time they access Facebook 0.1KB/s.
Every time they access their personal mail - 0.1KB/s
Every time they perform google search - 0.1KB/s
Every time they want to watch Netflix - 0.1KB/s
From tech standpoint - flag their accounts and move them to throttled infrastructure. This way they'll be calling the ISPs who are trying to push net neutrality aside complaining about speeds. | 157 | [1, 0] | 5 |
84 | train | *Since news companies like to source us, what if we hoaxed them? Ya know, came up with some crazy scenario and then posted it to an appropriate subbreddit, blew it up, and then watched as the news jumped on our dicks and reposted a fake thing?
* We could all do certain things so that we know not to contradict each other in a way that would make it look like we are making it up, meaning that we would have to link find a way to stay consistent with each other and play off of each other.
| 159 | [0, 0] | 2 |
85 | train | *a device that detects the BPM to any song on the radio and syncs your windshield wipers, turning signal, and blinkers to it.* edit: If it's really fast or really slow then the device would cut the rate of the car's functions in half or double it depending on how fast or slow the song is. That way, it would function at a regular rate while still moving to the beat. | 160 | [1, 0] | 6 |
86 | train | *A robot that just wanders around the city recording 360 degree view VR footage for future generations to experience how things were.* Of course would be particularly interesting right now. It may not be profitable idea right now, but I'm sure people would be will to spend a pretty penny on the content in 30 - 50 years. History classes, VR games, etc.
| 161 | [1, 0] | 4 |
87 | train | *AR driving game for a kid to play while they're bored sitting the car. They drive on the same road that they're currently on. They can go forwards/backwards, explore around. Like in a Pokemon Go - type world.* A gmap route where they are headed in real life can be synced with the game, so the kid can "race" the real car to the destination. You could also maybe race other kids in cars nearby. Would also be a cool opportunity to explore the surroundings, find nearby gas stations or places they want to eat! If you drive too far away from the location of the real car, you can always "recenter" yourself. | 162 | [1, 1] | 4 |
88 | train | *Fight Social Media Addiction and Raise Money for taxes or Charity by charging penny* So I think I just had an epiphany (too much coffee) on how to tackle two problems at once, Taxes and Social Media Addiction. OK, so imagine every time you wanted to check or post on FB, Instagram, Twitter, etc. you had to pay or donate 1 cent. A penny seems like a small amount, but if you think about how many times we mindlessly check our phones during the day, it would add up quick. That or maybe we would become more selective on what we share with social media. This would slowly deter those who check their phones compulsively when sitting alone, or the people whom posts everything they do all day long. | 163 | [1, 1] | 5 |
89 | train | *Airports should have a FedEx style office inside of them so you can mail yourself stuff the TSA would normally confiscate* Especially since you have to check your bags before you go through security, it would be nice to have a "last chance" to save those things that security pulls out of your carry-on | 164 | [1, 1] | 2 |
90 | train | *Make the key of your car your mobile phone.* Make the key for your car your mobile phone. Since these days everyone has their phone with them in the car anyway why not make your phone the key? Then while the car is turned on with the phone you could also disable some of the phones features such as texting or internet browsing which would hopefully result in safer roads. While the phone is powering the car it could also serve as the cars GPS and have hands free calling. Having the phone power the gps means the car would not need a separate GPS module so you could save a few $ there. | 165 | [1, 0] | 4 |
91 | train | *How to not be bothered by AI generated content.
* Many people don't like the idea of ai content, but have no problem with the content itself. Streaming services can mix the ai generated content with human generated and not tell you which is which. In your mind, the content then becomes neither ai generated nor human generated and can be appreciated just for what it is and not for what it comes from. | 166 | [1, 1] | 5 |
92 | train | *When the lockdown begins to be lifted, lift restrictions for small businesses first. Smaller footprint, less people together, and gives locals a head start in the empty market to keep money from flowing somewhere else.* If social/physical distancing really does work, and cases level off, eventually when everything is opened back up, a bunch more people will get sick. I assume they might do something like open up over time (maybe sector-by-sector?) to keep the caseload manageable.
Why not open small businesses first as well? Give them a chance to make up ground on large corporations, or for new ones to open and thrive in the empty market. Smaller businesses would generally mean smaller stores, too - **combined with a max occupancy** policy this would mean less people mingling and getting sick as well, hopefully keeping that reinfection rate low. Let walmart stay closed a while longer and let the local toy store go first, or keep cineplex closed and let the independent smaller screens operate for a while first. Start with companies with low amounts of employees and move up from there.
For reference, I live in Canada. In Canada, the private workforce is distributed as follows:
* Small Businesses (1-99 employees) 97.9% of businesses, 69.7% of the labour force.
* Medium Businesses (100-499 employees) 1.9% of businesses, 19.9% of the labour force.
* Large Businesses (500+ employees) 0.2% of businesses, 10.4% of the labour force. | 167 | [1, 1] | 2 |
93 | train | *Judges shouldn't be able to see or hear defendants directly. They should also never be told the sex or race of the defendant. This will remove a fair bit of racism and sexism from the judicial process, whether real or perceived.* Obviously may not work in all cases, but any where sex and race aren't a relevant factor anyhow. | 168 | [1, 1] | 4 |
94 | train | *A website, like Wikipedia, that lists all the parts within an object, where they came from, and what other machines uses similar parts* I got this idea while playing RPG games. There's often a class or a function where the user can build items. "Get 5 shells and 2 strings to make this thing". When it gets very complicated and advanced, people will occasionally make entire websites dedicated to just tracking parts and what needs what to be built. (Like in Minecraft tutorials, for example)
My idea is something similar, but applied to the real world. There could be a website database (publicly open, like wikipedia) that keeps track of parts used in household (or bigger) objects. "These parts are used for this coffee machine", "This specific motorcycle uses these parts", "This computer is build with these parts".
For people that are interested in salvaging parts, or building things at home, this would be an absolute treasure trove for ideas and knowledge.
The added bonus of knowing where the parts came *from*, as well, may help give better perspective on humanitarian work. Knowing that something came from some offshore-factory that abuses its workers might give someone incentive to "vote with their money" as it were, and decide to invest in an alternative, better company. (If there is one. Making these things transparent would give incentive to create better alternatives, too.)
If all else, I would be curious to see of all the things I could create with a box and some springs.
If I had the time, the knowledge and the means, I would build this website myself. At the moment, I hold minimal design knowledge, unfortunately. But I really don't want this idea to disappear, I think it would be a great contribution for open and free information available to all.
Thoughts? | 170 | [1, 1] | 4 |
95 | train | *Crazy NBA idea. No team is allowed to have more then 30 ft of player on the floor at any given time. After committing so many fouls a team is deducted an additional foot of player.* I think this would make for some great strategy. You have to have an average of 6 ft. You want Lebron James on the court? You can have him 3 six footer and a guy 5ft 4. Or some make up like that.
Would you watch this half baked idea? Is it crazy? Or crazy like a fox?
Edit: The one big draw back of my plan is this, The 6 footers would be really penalized in this league. The 5'8" lets a 6'4" guy on the court. Muggsy Bogues allows you to bring on Kevin Durant, which places players like Bogues at such a premium. A six footer is just a push. I must hash this out some more before I present my idea to Adam Silver. | 171 | [1, 0] | 6 |
96 | train | *Idea For a Website--Please Steal it* I have an idea for a website that I don't have the skills or the motivation to create but I really wish it would exist. A site for disabled youtube comment sections. Imagine how many times you've watched a youtube video and were excited to see what people are saying in the comments only to find that the OP disabled the section. I see this a lot with mainstream media sources and people peddling deliberate dishonesty. If a youtube comment section is restricted, a forum appears on this website automatically for people to talk about the video. If anyone is able to make this happen I don't need any credit. | 172 | [1, 1] | 4 |
97 | train | *Sports-based videogame where you play as the camera operator.* I love watching camera operators sprint around football fields, chase skateboarders around pools and tail skiers off massive jumps.
I feel like it would be a great game where players have to navigate their surroundings while keeping their subject in frame. Could be a good use for consoles with screens built into controllers and definitely for the occulus. | 175 | [1, 0] | 6 |
98 | train | *Airport drop off and picking up.* As most of you know the departure and arrivals are normally on 2 totally different levels. In the morning the departure lanes are packed. In the evening the arrivals area is packed. What I do is the opposite of what everyone else does. When my wife drops me for my early morning flight she drops me in the arrivals lane which is pretty much empty at 7am. When picking me up at 5pm she does the exact opposite. She picks me up in the departure lanes. These areas are normally just an escalator ride out of your way. So instead of fighting 3 deep traffic you’re able to get right in and out of your car. Saves time and most importantly frustration from being parked in. | 178 | [1, 1] | 2 |
99 | train | *A non-philosophical manual for how to adult* Everything from how to get a job, find a house, how taxes work, how to not get ripped off from taxes, how to cook, maintaining your things so they don't depreciate.
even broken down step by step like, for people on the autism spectrum.
or even people finally free from incarceration and trying to integrate into society.
basically a tutorial like a video game. or if an alien found himself prisoned on earth. | 179 | [1, 1] | 4 |
100 | train | *Commercials - if you have the product, you get to skip the commercials on hulu* I'm a web developer - you could have a browser plugin or cookie that would allow hulu to detect that you have the product (i.e. Geico insurance) - then it could just a 3-5 second "commercial skipped thanks to your Geico membership. Thank you." | 180 | [1, 0] | 2 |
