*"Free trial" that needs a credit card* I have a prepaid gift card with a visa symbol that has $5 on it and expires in 2026. I use it for anything I want to trial and might forget to cancel. It will alert me to change the payment method when it can't process it after the free period and I can decide whether or not to link it to an actual account.

*Connect people who recently used a contractor to renovate their home with people choosing a contractor* I'm looking for thoughts / feedback on a startup idea that I thought of. All thoughts are appreciated! Problem - Renovating your home is hugely consequential (time, money, altering your property, etc.). When you're hiring a contractor, you can look up reviews online but you don't really know what you're getting yourself into. It's a huge decision. Idea - Create a marketplace that connects people deciding between home contractors with people who recently went through the process and renovated their home with a certain contractor. There could be different tiers - connect just through a phone call, allow the person thinking about the renovation to visit your home and actually see the work, etc. There would be some sort of split of the fee between the company and the property owner who's showing off the work

*Emergency App that not only dials emergency services, but begins recording audio and video from both the front and back camera, location, etc.* This is just something I've been pondering between recent events as well as missing person cases, and honestly it should be default on smart phones if you ask me but I'd also download this as an app. It would do as the title says and record everything it possibly can and save it both locally and to the cloud. It could even ask you for an emergency contact like a family member for it to send an alert to as well, as well as let you delete the video if you confirm it was a non-emergency in the end. There may already be apps like this but I can't find any that go the whole 9 miles, and having it be built into existing emergency systems on phones would mean you don't even need a passcode to use it. In missing person cases often phones get taken and a 911 call or a locally saved video just isn't enough to help the person get found. It's just silly to me that we have this tracking device/camera in our pockets but the "emergency" button just does what phones have always been able to do. If an update or app like this could bring even one person home safely it's worth every r/TIFU post that stems from people setting it off on accident and taking a bad video or freaking out their emergency contact.

*SMS, instant messages, and emails should have a "silent" flag, so you can send a message to someone without waking or disturbing them if you think they might be asleep or busy.* The current solution is the the *receiver* to set their device to silent when they don't want to be disturbed, but a) many people forget to do this, or don't do it in case of urgent communications and b) the sender has no way of knowing if the receiver will be disturbed by the message or not. It would be nice to be able to send someone a message which wouldn't make an audible or tactile alert, but which they could read the next time they actively checked their device, like "call me when you wake up please."

How It's Unmade would be a series of reversed episodes of How It's Made, with new narration detailing the processes of disassembly used for various products. Computers being turned into blank circuit boards and various components, candy bars being reduced to different amounts of each separate ingredient, etc. Narration consists of things like this: The products arrive at the factory fully packaged and ready for disassembly. Workers remove the [items] from the boxes, which are flattened and sent to a machine. The [objects] pass through a different machine which removes the plastic bags they came in. They continue through a device that cleanly and automatically removes any paint, which is put in storage for distribution to paint manufacturers.

*One way to get the flight you want without paying for it* As those of you who travel internationally know the best flights always cost the most. I was booking a trip to Greece in Business class and the one connection flight I wanted was $6,900 one way. So I booked the double connection that got me there 8 hours later but was only $1,800. Booking this far out you will always get a schedule change as the airlines change quarterly. So today I got the email informing me that my London Athens portion had changed. So I called American Airlines and had them re-book me on the one connection flight, the one that cost $6,900. They rebooked me and since it was due to their schedule change there was no charge. This is a great way to get the flights you want without paying for them. I did the same thing last year on my trip to Buenos Aires. This hack only works if you book 6+ months out. I went from Tulsa-Dallas Dallas-London London-Athens to Tulsa-Chicago Chicago-Athens getting in at 9:30am instead of 6:30pm.

*App where you rent out space in your home for storage* This app would allow users to rent out space for others to store their belongings. Real estate and mortgage payments are expensive, and the storage industry is booming. What if you could rent out some empty space to users to store their furniture for a predetermined period of time ? I am picturing something like airbnb where the website handles payments. You wouldn't be able to get access to your items until the period was up. This could be especially useful for university students who need temporary summer storage.

Say you wanted to order something off Amazon on a Wednesday but couldn't pay until Friday but you don't mind waiting...schedule the order for amazon on the Wednesday to come out on Friday and be dispatched after. All you have to do on the day is confirm if you want to make the payment and if there are changes in price or out of stock items. I've not seen this anywhere as this would be so useful to me. I don't have any time to be sitting shopping but I'd still like things online.

*Trying to solve the loneliness problem for seniors* My grandparents were lucky enough to have lots of grandchildren, and loved it when we called them up. It didn't really matter what we spoke about, but that connection with someone real was invaluable. When we called, it made their day. I'd like to recreate this service, but open it up to anyone who is lonely and seeks new connections. *Problem*: Seniors are often lonely, and want someone to speak to. *Solution*: A subscription service that connects seniors with likeminded individuals, who they can speak to over the phone on a regular basis. This isn't trying to replace care services, the family, or be anything other than companionship. It just gives the senior someone else in their life to speak to. Thoughts?

*A platform to discover new places throughout the world* We're making [**MappMapp**](https://www.mappmapp.com/), a platform (website & android app) where travelers can see trips created by locals and find places that locals love themselves. Think of it as a Google Maps trip to your favourite places, but accessible by anyone in the world. **Usecase:** This is essentially replacing the "best places to see in CITY\_NAME\_HERE" which most people often do before they begin traveling. Not only that, once people have found the places to visit they often just end up jotting it on Google Maps, or Excel and so on. On MappMapp, you'll be able to plan your trips or simply discover what other people have done in the city. What do you guys think?

*Waking up made easy!* Many People like myself struggle to wake up in the Morning. So I came up with an idea that should fix this problem. Please read through the end and let me know if I’m missing something and what is your opinion? The Idea is to wear something like an Oura Ring that tracks your sleep cycles. The ring will be connected to an app that will set an alarm right when you are at lightest sleep. It’s not a conventional Alarm system because you do not set a strict time to wake up. However, you can set the Time that you need to wake up at and the App will ring the Alarm when you are in light sleep closest to the time that you need to wake up. I’m thinking that the App can learn your Sleep cycles and learn how long you are in each cycle. That way it will set the Alarm before you enter the next REM Phase, even if that happens to be an hour before your set waking time. It also has an option to connect to a smart bulb that will gradually increase brightness until the alarm rings.

We didn't learn about the strict Catholic doctrine, we learned about the history, geography and ethnicities of the region of Palestine and Israel. With the decline in Sunday school attendance and organized religion in general (at least in Atlantic Canada), maybe we should be looking at giving our young thinkers a way to expand their minds and feed the need for understanding. Instead of basing teachings on one faith every Sunday morning, supply them with the knowledge of various religions which try to provide the answer to the great question "why?"

*"Strafe drive" foot-pedal joystick.* Ok, heres a wild one; My idea is a joystick you can operate by foot/toe. I hatched this idea after struggling with the controls of several spaceship games, where you not only have the conventional pitch/roll/yaw/throttle, but also lateral and vertical strafe. And if you also count the cockpit view controls, well.. 8 axis of control. At this stage I have mounted an old USB gamepad to a base which I stuffed under my desk, with all strafing movement mapped to one of its analog sticks, which works surprisingly well. So next I'm going to break apart an old joystick and solder its circuitboard to the gimbal I stripped out of an old RC remote. Then ill 3D print a large flat knob that fits ontop, creating a giant analog toe stick. Any thoughts?

Yes there may be more then one NSFW scene. So your parents may question "Why you're going to the bathroom so many times during the movie?" "Uh... I'm very gassy." Or "You seem to have left the theater at the exact times that a sex scene was going to happen...." "I don't know.... uh coincidence I guess."

Now that Slack became an essential tool in our work, we benefit a lot from business chat services. However, I always had a small problem with Slack because as the amount of chat becomes huge, it gives me a hard time getting the critical points and eventually affects my work process in a day. I've always wished that the chat becomes more graphical so that I can instantly get the point of discussion without scrolling over & over. Then, I came up with the idea that a chat becomes a card on a whiteboard at the same time. This way, you can not only visualize a chat but also re-organize chats (cards) on the board to dig deeper into ideas or topics. I would like your honest feedback on my idea. Thank you in advance (:

*A Reddit dating site that matches you based on interest in similar subreddits* Think about it: There are so many obscure niches out there that have subreddit communities dedicated to them. Instead of meeting a girl on Tinder who "likes movies" - I'd much rather be matched with someone who is a member of /r/TrueFilm and /r/CineShots. (That's just an example, TrueFilm people are probably too pretentious for my taste... ;) )

All of a sudden you realize, this show really sucks! What just happened and why am I still here? It was brilliant, like Dexter or The Walking Dead, and sucked you in for seasons of fun but now you are slogging your way through. Should you give up now or is there a redeeming arc that you will miss? Well just check the non-spoiler website and find out if you can cut off the show without missing anything.

Anyway, he can't play now, so I regularly stream my game in Discord for him, and let him decide what to do. We have lots of fun! Do you think other gamers would be willing to help people who can't play?

*Leave airport property before calling Uber or Lyft* If I have the time, I typically catch a shuttle to the nearest hotel as I’m leaving the airport, then when I get to the hotel, I’ll call the rideshare. I typically save $30 or more on the rideshare as I don’t have to deal with surge pricing or airport pickup fees. The hotel shuttle drivers never ask to see proof of a hotel reservation and they can’t force you to check out a room once you arrive at the hotel.

You would be able to exhibit them in your profile, tag them (species, breed or color for instance), and also they would be visible in a map (like Places in Apple Photos app). That would make searching for missing pets easier, you just have to filter by the tags and check the pics in the area. As a photographer, you could also have notifications of missing pets in your area and get badges (or rewards $ if the owner offers them).

*When voting, you must answer multiple choice questions about your candidate's policy. The percentage you get right determines how much your vote is worth.* This forces people to know at least some of their candidate's policies in order to be able to vote for them. It could be implemented in a number of ways (e.g. >70% = 1 vote, <70% = 0 votes, or even tiered, where 100% = 5 votes, 80% = 4 votes etc). The correct answers could even be available at voting stations before you vote, the point is to make sure people are aware of the policies they are voting for when they vote. In order to remain neutral, the questions could be chosen by the opposing parties, such that when voting you are forced to acknowledge what the other parties consider to be their opponents worst policies. EDIT: For people unable to read or write, the questions could be administered verbally or in another way so as not to discriminate.

*Can't concentrate in noisy office ? * Working mainly at home in silence now I cannot concentrate when made to go in office for a day or two per week. I can't work with music on earbuds and don't want to buy noise cancelling. Solution for me is playing white noise, just constant whooshing noise on a loop from spotify. Just loud enough to drown out the chatter. Not very exciting I know...but it's like magic....after 10 seconds your brain doesn't consciously hear the white noise...and you just don't hear the office noise around you.

*An idea for a startup: a service that creates a miniature replica of a place you once loved and wish to remember when you move on* A service that creates a miniature replica of a place you once loved and wish to remember when you move on. **Why?** * Having a miniature replica is the next best thing to actually visiting a place you once loved. * Rooms get redesigned, old houses get demolished, memories fade. A miniature replica is forever. * Kids are all grown up and moved out but you don't want to erase the memory of their existence from your home. Make a miniature copy of their room to freeze it in time. Then renovate. **How it works** Develop a process where: 1. People take multiple 360-degree photos of the place they want to replicate. Once the quantity and quality of the photos are sufficient the next stage begins. 2. The software stitches the photos all into one high detail, high-quality image and converts it to a 3D printer instruction file. 3. A replica is 3D printed. Areas that require manual fixing are highlighted. 4. One of many freelance artists gets the replica and starts working on it. They fix the details and color everything. Payment is based on the level of detail and agreed upon beforehand. 5. High-quality images are taken and sent to the customer to confirm that everything is OK. 6. The replica is sent to the customer.

You get all the functionalities you need (store, backup, sync, file sharing, access your files from anywhere). No complicated installation or configuration. Simple to use. Plug and play. Just like a cloud, your data is always duplicated on at least two different locations, so you can't lose it.

You also know where your data goes. And you choose where you data goes.

However, this means you to take up your store a cake in your limited freezer storage for a whole year. What about a service that send you a cold storage return shipping container (not sure if that’s a thing) and you simple stick your cake in it and return send it back to the company. The company puts the cake in cold storage preserving it for the year (or as many months as you want to store it, paid monthly) and then ships it back to you when you want it back. This also allows you to move within that year because they can ship it to you anywhere.

*Math website in the style of leetcode* Leetcode has a very attractive UI, and has a lot of gamification (e.g. contests, various difficulty levels/categories), and I feel like Math could use similar flavor. When I tried to get into Maths I was met with big ass textbooks full of dense material with very few full solutions. I just didn't find it very friendly, and got bored. Would be amazing to have a problem presented, view full solution, check other people's solutions (with upvoting, etc). Some might say brilliant.org , but they don't have as many elements that make leetcode compelling. Obviously there'd be some differences, e.g. probably just submit answer vs submitting "working out" of the problem. I think this could seriously bring some excitement to Math education.

*Startup idea: An app like Headway but for international/geopolitical issues* I am still trying to iron out the kinks in the concept, but I have a rough idea of what I would like to provide. I'm looking to create an app that groups different international issues by region (i.e. Israel-Palestine and Yemen for the Middle East, Russia-Ukraine for Europe, Sudan and Congo for Africa, etc) and provide brief TL;DR articles on them along with additional resources (like books and studies done by think tanks). More broadly, I was thinking of expanding the concept to explain the basic histories and geopolitical/social dynamics of different regions of the world. Another idea I was toying with was including something similar to the Ground News app in which articles from regional news sources (like Al Jazeera, Al Arabiya, Jerusalem Post, Haaretz etc for the Middle East as an example) would be shown to the user and grouped based on left-wing/right-wing alignment (or as close to it as possible) like Ground News does. Is this too ambitious or too impractical?

*Search engine which only shows small businesses when shopping* Exactly as the title says. I'm trying to limit my spending on Amazon, and I don't like spending money on TEMU, SHEIN, AliExpress or any similar companies. But it's no wonder why people spend so much money on them, because they completely dominate searches for any kind of shopping. I can literally spend upwards of an hour searching for a specific item because I just get bombarded with listings from Amazon or the likes. It's why I can only limit my spending on Amazon rather than stopping completely, sometimes it's damn near impossible to find what it is I'm looking for outside of Amazon. Just imagine a search engine, or something similar, where small businesses showed up first. I'd switch to using that in a heartbeat.

*Possibly already done, but a book which is written at first, in, say, English, but gradually introduces more of another language, so that by the end, you can read in both languages.* I got this idea when thinking about the book "A Clockwork Orange", where the teenage slang language "nadsat" is occasionally added in for fairly common words. By the end of the book, I knew a lot of nadsat words (it isn't really a different language, as it uses mostly English words and structure, it just changes a few words), and some years later I still remember some. There is a mini dictionary at the back to look up the words you don't know in, or if you can't work out the words from context. The problem with this would be that it would require a literal dictionary for the language to accompany the book. This is why I have decided that it would work best on some kind of e-reader, which can easily store the dictionary, or if you come across a word that you might normally look, you could just tap or highlight the word, and it could easily display the definition and/or translation (in the language which you already speak). Finally, at first, I thought that this would be very impractical, as it would require a writer who fluently spoke at least 2 languages, but I have since realised that you only need someone who is fluent in 2 languages to translate parts of the book.

*A site that collects predictions from "experts" and measures how accurate they were in their predictions after the fact. Politicians, pundits, economists, sports writers, weathermen...I want to see how often they were right.* In an era where people spout off any old random crap and are never held to account, it'd be great to have a systematized way to hold people accountable for their predictions. We need a website that tracks every "expert"'s past predictions (weather or politics or sports or economics etc) and produces a star rating system that quantifies their track record. Then when that politician or talking head makes a new prediction, we'd have a basic "bullshit meter" as to how much to pay attention. (A Chrome extension could make it hover-respond on any website.) You'd have to stick with really basic, verifiable predictions "Who will win the 2016 presidential election?" "Will the economy enter recession in 2015?" "Will the Portland Trail Blazers make the playoffs?" etc. You'd probably need to have some time cutoffs--so a prediction that the Portland Trail Blazers makes the playoffs would have to be placed before the season start. If it were crowd sourced, you could have users go back through decades of articles and verify thousands of past predictions.
