Free ideas

Time is limited on Earth, so here are some quick shower thoughts of apps/side projects you could build:

• Whisper

  • an app that converts speech into notes
  • you can manually edit text, but only optionally, audio should be first
  • just brain dump ideas:
    • hold for quick ideas
    • tap for continuous recording
  • pinch out from note view to see the list of notes

• Mutual Agreement Meetings

  • make an app where you send a link to meeting attendants, they should vote if the meeting should take place or not
  • three modes (set by the meeting host):
    • democratic: a majority of votes say no => cancel the meeting
    • all in all votes have to say yes => meeting takes place
    • totalitarian: the majority of votes say no => meeting takes place
  • all anonymous, only seen by people that you’ve shared the link with
  • connect zoom / meet account to delete the meetings

• Global Pomodoro Timer

  • there exists only one, global, pomodoro timer: 25 minutes of focus, 5 minutes of break
  • use it and study alongside other people/friends
  • chat with people during breaks
  • manipulate the timer based on the no. of sessions

• Green Light, Red Light Typer

  • wpm typer, but you can only type when it's green light
  • press one character when it's a red light to instantly lose
  • the game becomes to the most practical, not to the fastest typer

• Tapes

  • users could make a video, and others could post their video on top of that
  • imagine reddit r/all image where it was a mayhem
    • this would be the global February tape for example
  • where each user could, for free, add like 10 seconds of video and audio if he wants
  • he could overwrite the current video or add it to the end
  • you could make private tapes with friends (max. 5)
  • create vlogs together, videos, etc.
  • add filter-based themes
    • users could only tape if their phone points to 130 degrees south
    • only if the red% of the image is > 250 and brightness is < 50
    • only if there are 12 degrees
    • only if they scan a QR code in the video

Share with me on Twitter if you got any inspiration from those app ideas! Will add more soon...
