Ask HN: What is a service you would pay $10/month for?

There are some obvious ideas desperately waiting to be implemented. Think of this as a brain-storming session not just for me but for lots of others around here too.

The other benefit of such a thread is that sometimes what one person thinks of as a problem could've actually been already solved and available and it is good to know of that.

Well wannabefounder you ask an excellent question.

I'd pay $10 a month for a service that was really useful and valuable that did things I wanted and needed it to do.

The sort of idea that YC would fund.

How about we start with all the ideas that you have - can you post them?

I would pay $10/month to lease a handheld 'gun' that would terraform mars. But it must be handheld. I'm not lugging around a dang suitcase with me on my mission to populate mars.

Or, you could build a Transmogrifier. But that's not my idea, that's the idea of Mr Bill Watterson.

How about a service that would do my thinking and market research for me? Maybe even something that could gauge my aptitude and expertise? But I'd only pay £3.50 max, because I'm a cheapskate and don't like people.
