Idea: Hover and learn
A browser extension that randomly replaces some words on websites to be the words in the language you learn.

You can hover on the unfamiliar word and see a translation, pronunciation, songs containing this word, a few movie clips with it and other usage of the word in different contexts.
Example.

This helps by allowing users to browse the web and learn more effortlessly. Anyway they should do a mental effort to learn and you can determine how they'll do it. For example, add the hovered words to a vocabulary and show them to repeat and learn (spaced repetition).

"What's a problem or inconvenience you have that you could do better? Not 100% better, but even like 5-10% can be an advantage. You don't have to invent the next big thing, starting a business on a niche product that is incrementally better than everything else is enough to change your life.

Marketplaces like Amazon/Etsy are making more money for Amazon/Etsy than they are making you. Services businesses can be good, but there's always going to be a cap on earnings tied to your time. I'd recommend starting a business around either a knowledge product - use something like gumroad to build an online course on ANYTHING (whatever you're good at) and then market the audience - or a physical product that's a little better."

From the "The type of business you want to start" post on Reddit.

I'm introducing a new channel for problems.

I created Startup Ideas channel to share ideas that can be implemented as a business. However, ideas are only worth attention to look at the different industries or products from a different angle. You can't build a solution(business) if you don't know the root cause of why such a business may exist. One should understand the problem to begin helping people(e.g., building an app, an agency, providing freelance services, etc.).
Ideas are worthless. The implementation depends on how well one understands how to help others eliminate the problem.

I plan to share real-world problems in the new channel from various domains. Some of them will be mine or from the Internet. The others will be yours.

P.S. the more us there, the more problems we can share(I'll do a survey so everybody has an opportunity to share one's problems and see the others).

A playbook to give a clear vision of what comes naturally to you and help you take that first step to never needing to stay at a job again.

Some excerpts from there:

> start your career where your childhood left off. find what you're naturally good at and what you want to help other people with.

> look for the right things in life. find out what gives you energy but keeps you at peace at the same time. try to get everything within you aligned and wanting one specific thing.

> find an online community that you can connect with authentically to uplift

- we're in the connection economy now. it doesn't have to be huge, but they have to be growing, relatable, and passionate about a topic.

- look for common problems that keep coming up. at this point they're aware of the problem, they just need a solution from someone they trust.

- give them a sense of belonging. if they don't have an identity, create one.

- take a stand with the community and empathize with them. challenge what's current and define what's next.

- your goals should align with the audience. don't just profit off of them, let them benefit from your wins. if they help grow your brand, they should be rewarded for it.

- discord started in r/LoL. pipeline.gg started in r/streamers. grailed marketplace started in r/malefashionadvice.

customer experience is the most important metric

πŸ’‘Idea: Developer digest
A website or a newsletter that collects the last day/week best articles, links, new good newsletters for developers.
I spend some time going to multiple websites to get the latest information such as articles about some technology, what's interesting in new releases, what new interesting Github repositories appeared, the top posts on HackerNews.
All of this takes time to filter and read. It'd great to have one place where only the best articles appeared.

Idea: Linkedin Time Capsule
A way to look at a company's employees at any date in the past that you specify.
Would be an incredible tool for builders to understand org structure evolution.

Idea: Boxing at home (subscription)
A subscription model where you get a punching bag, gloves, unlimited content on how to train correctly, coaches, software/hardware that shows you how good was your training today.
Examples:
- FightCamp
- Peloton which isn't about boxing, but the business model is interesting.

Key takeaways of the YC’s Essential Startup Advice article.

- Launch as soon as possible. The earlier you understand customers needs, the better.
- Don't think about scaling yet. Do things that don't scale.
- Build only core features that do 90% of the work.
- Don't get distracted. The main things you should be doing in an early-stage company is to talk to users and write code.
- Do less, but do that better. Focus on acute problems the customers have.
- Don't try to solve all the problems your company has at the beginning. Every company has it, even those with $1B valuation. The points is: it's OK to have problems. Solve the important ones.
- Don't worry about competition yet.
- Stay sane and take breaks.

idea: Twitter catalog
Problem:
it's difficult for new people on Twitter to find interesting people to follow. There is a search, but how do they know what keywords to use?

Possible solution: a browser extension or an app that shows you interesting people based on your preferences: location, a domain(about what a person posts), an average tweets per day, total tweets number, an average number of likes/retweets/comments per tweet, etc.
πŸ‘22❀6πŸ‘Ž2
Idea: Life tracker
An app that has all you need: to-do lists, note-taking, it shows bank accounts and balances, total spending/earning, it stores your backups for smartphones, PCs, laptops; it stores your passwords and credentials, all the media you created is stored in one place, so you don't need to fear all the data will be lost. All the data in the app should be encrypted. The app could also have such features as:
- contact reminder: it reminds you when to call your relatives, friends;
- tests to check your mental health state periodically;
- storing your medical tests and related information, so you don't need to search for them in your house or on the web archives of various clinics;
- proposing you courses that will fit you; and movies, music, books; it also keeps track of the materials you watched, read to enhance the recommendations, and to you to have a history to add notes to the data;

Idea: VR practice for medical personnel
A platform that provides an environment to practice skills for doctors, nurses in virtual reality together. Thus, they can enhance their knowledge before going to hospitals. Also, it's great to do so virtually and together. It's not only for practice but for lecture sessions or even conferences where people not only tell but show something in VR for many people.

Idea: Online chat game
Problem
: it may be hard to express yourself in real life. You dress special clothing, choose events to attend, meet people.

Possible solution: a game world aimed to gather people to talk. Like the VR chat. But with a more open world and possibilities. You can customize your avatar, a house. There is an open world where you stroll, meet people, talk to them. You can invite them to your customized place to spend time. The world allows you to customize places to have different activities. For example, play table games, build something together, play hide-and-seek, etc.

Idea: Goals like flowers
An app where your goals are represented by flowers. The more you work towards your goal the quicker the flower will grow. Stop and your flower will wither and die.

Idea: Burned out community
A place where people meet advice and other people that care about burnout prevention, depression, overworking. There is a chat/forum where one can seek advice and read others' stories. There are learnings from others that prevented burnout. There are tests to check if you're about to burn out, or, if you have some mental issues, stress. You may pick a customized plan of antistress, read reviews of how it worked for other people.

There can be a lot of content and even a possibility to connect with a professional who can help with the issue. It may be a place where people from IT, business, medicine, etc. might refer as a ultimate great resource to check out.

Idea: Training together
Training programs (runners, cyclists, etc.) for couples with different levels but who want to train together. It should provide data synchronization across different devices - watches, desktops, smartphones.
Why: such apps could encourage couples to train together. Or with friends. To transform training into a competition.

Idea: Move to listen
An app that plays podcasts only when you're moving. It's useful when you go running or do some physical activity. To finish a podcast you need to keep moving, there's no other way.
The same logic may be applied to music. If your physical activity doesn't require permanent movement, you can configure allowable pause time. Say, you have 1 minute to rest and if you pause more than that time, the app stops playing podcast.
