Ask HN: Which startup or product ideas would you like to see built?

Posted by nikcub on Wednesday October 03, 2012 @02:29PM
from the ask-hn dept.

It seems every entrepreneur and developer I meet and speak to has at least one or two product ideas in their mind that they always think about but never get around to building.

So, what are yours?

If we share them there would be a chance of somebody else reading building it.

I'd like to see a fork of Chrome with all the Google stuff taken out and security + privacy tools built in by default, with incognito default

I like this idea, but I'd personally make a few additional changes to incognito mode.

1) Make it easy for me to accept persistent cookies at my discretion. I don't want random ad tracking, but I hate having to always log in to Amazon.

2) Let me set incognito mode on a tab by tab basis.

one thing I always wanted to build but probably never will (other things being more important) was to have a company that used 3d printing to make stylish frames for glasses. Why you ask, because it's a pain to find good styles when you have either a big or small head, it's not that good styles don't exist, just that since your not a significant enough market for them to mass produce it your mostly ignored having to settle on ones that just happen to be in your size. Plus you could totally have retro and strange styles and since you don't have inventory stocked the sky's the limit on how many styles you could keep in your inventory.

I just can't focus on this idea since I have other ones to pursue (the ones more akin to my lifes work sort of thing) so feel free to rip me off, maybe if you do you could toss me a pair of frames for free ;)

Talk to DreamForge (YC s12). I'm sure this is on their list.

Free cell phone service, you listen to ads instead of ringtones.

Please build this. Ironically it's sounds feasible to some degree.
