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.

Hey Startup people!

Since we all are to some extent into startups' topic, I want to invite you to my Channel where I describe my path as a startup founder.

I also share valuable materials that I can find in the web e.g. Y Combinator presentations and courses, MasterClass courses. I watch lots of talks with founders and do short sum ups so that every reader can save time and get the most out if it!

We also share our thoughts and discuss startup stuff there.
Welcome 😊 --->

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.

Idea: Watch movie with a friend online
Torrent movies, Netflix or YouTube. It creates a room where a video is synchronized between all members. Everybody can play\pause a video and it plays\pauses for all.

Some time ago I tried to create such a thing for my family to watch movies remotely. With movies, you should think about copyright, so it complicates a lot of things.

Idea: Releases tracker
A tool that helps people to track when my favorite series, shows, movies will be released. Also, it'd be great to track recent news that mention those movies/series.

Idea: A collection of tools for Shopify(replace with any other thing)
A website that collects useful tools for Shopify or any other popular (or not yet) platform. Help the community discover a place where they can find the right tools or articles and ask questions.
Why? There is always a ton of information everywhere, and gathering it all together is time-consuming. So, why not become a trustful resource that people could begin at?
Monetization: ads or sponsorships.

Idea: Freelance marketplace
A platform like Upwork where people may find programmers to solve their tasks with the following improvements:
- Registration and using the service are free. Only a fee applies for transactions.
- Programmers can be paid in cryptocurrency. No hassle with confirming the identity and receiving payments because of government policies.
- The hardest. An algorithm that connects a programmer with the person/company who needs services. The match is based on the programmer's skills. So if you're a great engineer with plenty of completed projects in real life, why should you work for food for the first year or so to have adequate clients?

Idea: Replacing faces service
My friend makes videos where he substitutes people's faces. He tried a few paid services, but there are problems: the video quality is low, the faces aren't replaced right.
So, the main issues are the quality of the video and the substitution. We might build a service that provides a better video quality which means higher processing time on a server. To leverage this issue, we could provide custom plans where users would choose video quality. For example, 720p is priced more than 480p. Notice that it's hard to render such videos and probably you'll need performant GPUs for cloud hosting.

The second issue is the quality of the face substitution. To handle this we could use custom parameters provided to end-users but simplified to their understanding. So the service can be used by not only programmers, video professionals, or deep learning engineers. Our target is regular people that aren't familiar with underhood face replacement magic.
There are some open-source projects for that, so probably you don't need to re-create a wheel. I guess it needs a custom configuration to handle various kinds of videos and faces to be handled in the service and to provide a friendly API for users.

πŸ’‘Idea: SEO analytic
A tool that analyzes a website and gives recommendations what kind of content to make to attract visitors from search engines.
You may think of such things do exist, not really. There are many tools to analyze SEO and traffic, but you should do keywords research by yourself. Plus, you need to analyze competitors to understand if your article can outrank them in search results.

It also would be good to see what kind of topics is not covered much, i.e. what articles people search for, but can't find a valuable piece of information. This is an important one because many articles are spam w/o giving value.

Idea: Almost random newsletter
A newsletter that sends you an almost random(based on your preferences) newsletter. Then you hit "like" or "dislike", so it'll adjust your interests better for the next digests.

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).

Idea: a community engine

A website engine/template that allow businesses/persons/communities to create a place for their community: useful resources, articles, a place for the discussion, and other related features.

If I were to start a community, I would ponder for a while what technology I should use to create a website, a messaging channel, a newsletter maybe? So why not having a template for all of that? For example, this solution would provide a ready-made website for the community's searchability in search engines, a Discord/Slack/Telegram/etc. platform template for discussions, a service to run newsletters, and other features that this community may have.

Currently, there are many things to consider when running a community: a technology for a website, a lot of resources to read on how to run the comm. in Discord/etc., how to take payments, etc.

It's time-consuming to filter messages in a Telegram group

It doesn't take so much time though, but one should filter a group's messages regularly because there are many spammers/scammers. There are anti-spam bots but many of them are ineffective. A while ago, I created a custom bot dedicated to my group and it was good.

But what if a person isn't a programmer? When you use the other anti-spam bots, they're ineffective because your group audience may be specific, so span rules differ. For example, in a tech-related group there are spam messages regarding crypto, and in a food-related group, there are spam regarding buying chef courses.
It also depends where people are coming from to your group, it affects what kind of spammers the group attracts.

It would be great to have an anti-spam bot where a group admin can alter the spam rules based on the audience.

APIZ is the world’s first-ever project aimed at tokenizing a living being.

With APIZ, we intend to tokenize an actual bee. One bee would equate to one APIZ coin.

The cryptocurrency will go hand in hand with our existing beekeeping business, which means that the coin will not be affected by any crypto fluctuations and guarantee the safety of one’s investments.

In our experience, beekeeping has the potential to become incredibly profitable. Today, the approximate cost of a single bee on the market equates to $0.01. The profit it brings sums up to $0.017. We managed to achieve an even greater results - $0.025 per bee in annual revenue. With APIZ, we will reach $0.15 in annual revenue per bee in just 10 years.

Hence, 70% of all investments will be allocated to our offline business development, which will only boost the cost of the APIZ coins in the long run. The other 30% will be used to promote our crypto business.

Blockchain has the potential to revolutionize beekeeping as we know it and give all potential crypto investors the peace of mind they deserve.

APIZ is setting new standards of tokenization that will change the crypto world as we know it!

Ask right questions
I can't learn much from re-reading. I may write down notes, but they need a revision regularly. More effective method I found is to create not notes, but questions, which evoke recalling better.
The idea is to create an app that will generate such questions for any text. This decreases time to create the notes. The app will remind a user to recall the questions regularly. It tracks a learning progress and adjusts the process: more or less questions about some topic.

πŸ’‘ Idea: CRM for Online Communities

β€’ Online communities are often having a difficult time keeping track of members.
β€’ Community leaders and moderators are often spending a significant amount of time trying to manage and engage with the members of their online communities.
β€’ Current solutions often require a lot of manual entry and effort to track and engage with members.
β€’ The solution could be a CRM for online communities that is easier for community leaders and moderators to use and manage their communities.

πŸ’‘ Idea: Day Passes for Software Tools

β€’ Fitness studios and coworking spaces have day passes. But what about day passes for Software tools?
β€’ Could you possibly purchase subscriptions to popular tools and then resell day-passes at a price that allows you to make a healthy profit?
β€’ Especially for research tools, there’s definitely demand. Most people research in spurts but not on a continuous basis.
