Steal this idea: What's a product you wish someone else would build?
by•
Ever had a random idea and thought, “Someone should totally build this”? Drop it here.
This thread’s for the stuff you don’t want to build yourself—but really wish existed. Weird, useful, hilarious, oddly specific… all fair game.

Information Cocoon Detection Plugin:
Social media these days seems to only push us content that interests us, which is certainly addictive, but sometimes I reflect on whether this is too centralized, causing me to not learn about other areas. But when I do want to read something else, I don't know where to start.
It would be great if this plugin could detect this and randomly disrupt my pushes for a while, would be great to plan for!
SEO positioning and followers acquisition (2-in-1) tool for blogs, like Medium.
Milestone Content Studio
@siddharthpereira 1. Medium is not easy for a follower acquisition. Meanwhile, I am posting the content through the publishing community (Coinmonks, Capital for example) for a better visibility, I am straggling a lot for getting new followers. 2. I noticed that Medium articles in general have a good SEO positioning in Google, in some of the cases even better than Binance Square, X, ect.
So it would be interesting to solve these two issues in one tool and not have to switch from different tools.

@siddharthpereira We're working on a fun tool that will allow you to reply to emails etc reactively, rudely etc as you really want to and the translates them into a productive and professional email. This kind of what you are talking about?
I always had this idea in my mind. Okay, hear me out.
A virtual wardrobe app where I can just snap a photo or scan a barcode of my clothes, and it auto-categorizes them by type, color, season, etc. Then it suggests outfit combos based on what I already own (weather, occasion, vibes, all that). Could even help with packing for trips.
Cotton must be what your looking for. Let me know what you think!

@rohit11 Could you pls explain more in detail?

@venkatesh_nune1 @rohit11 What would this accomplish? Can't you do this in Figma or using something like Loom if browsing an actual site?
A central dashboard (vaguely similar to a financial dashboard) connected to all forms of interpersonal communication (email, texting, Slack, Telegram, social media DMs, transcribed voicemails, etc.) so you could view and respond to any message from one screen and maybe even drag-and-drop an inbound message from its original platform to another for replying.
If you were waiting for a message from Joe Shmo and didn't know how he'd try to reach out, you could have a saved search that would check for new messages from him (and any other saved search inquiries) and alert you when important messages had arrived. Otherwise, you could skip all other notifications and do your deep work unless Joe Shmo, your spouse, or your kids' school was contacting you.

@proforganizer https://texts.com/ gets close to this I believe...
@steveb It's a good start. I remember when this was launched, and because it's backed by Automattic, I have some faith in their ability to expand and have more of the connections and features I'm seeking. Thanks for the reminder, as they've improved upon things since I first heard about them.

If you are reading physical books in a language that is not your native one, usually you dont know some words. Picking up the phone every time you want to know the meaning and google translate it is just exhausting. I want a mini digital glass that fits to my pointer finger. Every time i dont know the word i just want to tap the word i dont know with my finger who was that glass and see the answer. That would be the most useful thing for us readers. Build it, i can pay up to 1,000$ for it :P

I mean, I can probably build this with a few prompts but it needs some heavy marketing.

@steveb it’s only for Lovable products, though. They should have tried and claim ownership on this whole movement and made it for all tools IMO.
A windows program similar to Recall that does not store screenshots. Tried screenpipe but it did not capture remote desktop sessions.
