Here is the list of all ideas I've had so far but never actually took time to create any of them or go further into details<p>- Church givings - not sure how it's called, but in Christianity while being in Church a person goes around and asks for the money from people, so people give a dollar or few cents. So some kind of app that does that on global scale for the Church<p>- Would you do it for a dollar? - I even coded this. Basically person can ask someone else: would you _____ for a dollar? And if other person does it and uploads the proof, he gets the money<p>- You have a dollar? - As beggars beg in real life for a dollar, how about begging online for a dollar<p>- iEgg - just selling egg with Apple's logo for a high price. This might not be possible because of the logo, copyrights and shit<p>- Messaging with push notifications only - nowadays you can reply directly from push notifications. So no chat lists, no list of messages or such. You reply directly via push notification<p>- Don't meet in person - some kind of dating site that forces you not to meet in person, so everything must stay online<p>- Stupid people repellent - like some kind of mace or such, if someone annoys you, you spray them or around to repel them<p>- Alien emoji - regular emojis but with double eyes and green color, like this ::D ::) ;;) They are more strong than regular, so if you type ::D it means you are extra happy<p>- Social network where everything is fake - fake followers, fake likes. Like a hyper networks, you become popular extra fast and gain followers fast. You get likes and notifications from fake people, boosting your dopamine
> - Would you do it for a dollar? - I even coded this. Basically person can ask someone else: would you _____ for a dollar?

I really like the concept of tithing (broadly, putting 10% of incomes toward a larger project) and wish it was used more generally for taxation, funding projects, local development, etc. The simplicity and “human comprehensibility” makes it much more attractive than other, more complex funding and taxation methods.
Curious, anyone have any startups they wish existed, but currently do not?<p>_________________<p>Related, YC’s Requests for Startups:<p>- <a href="https://www.ycombinator.com/rfs" rel="nofollow">https://www.ycombinator.com/rfs</a><p>Past YC Requests for Startups:<p>- <a href="https://www.ycombinator.com/past-rfs" rel="nofollow">https://www.ycombinator.com/past-rfs</a>
These are great. iEgg made me lmao.<p>The social network idea has legs - You could probably turn it into either one of those mafia-wars/adcap style games, or more interestingly as an immersive educational tool to teach tweens not to stake their mental health on social media.
Tithing, it's called in Christianity. You give ten percent of your income (in theory) to the church. This is what's known outside of the religious sphere as "grifting". :-D
> Church givings - not sure how it's called, but in Christianity while being in Church a person goes around and asks for the money from people, so people give a dollar or few cents. So some kind of app that does that on global scale for the Church<p>My first startup turned into this!
> Social network where everything is fake - fake followers, fake likes. Like a hyper networks, you become popular extra fast and gain followers fast. You get likes and notifications from fake people, boosting your dopamine<p>The currently-rampant social networks have already beat you to it.
If the VC's (who are in the business of implementing ideas) are to believed, all the value is in the execution/implementation.<p>So you just have to make these ideas real, and profit.
> Don't meet in person - some kind of dating site that forces you not to meet in person, so everything must stay online<p>I might steal this one.
- idea for the travelers by plane:<p>Some system that automatically checks you in for all airlines you need for that travel and all the airlines must handle your luggage<p>Me: What???
How about a deep difusion model, generating a road movie, with a tesla AI trying to drive it, put in a taxi and let people pay for a never ending drive.
