I've been wishing there was an app where you could point your phone at a pile of scrap lumber and it would tell you things you could make with them. This is a step in that direction even if it's just for lego bricks right now.

I have a literal pile of bricks in my backyard. I thought this was going to be an app that I could scan them with and tell me how to build a pizza oven.

Same! There isn't one standard "red brick" size (like I thought lol), but there are a lot of different sizes. I'd pay for an app like that.

In the spirit of the Yo app, does anyone want to invest in bonfire.app?
