Re:Ask HN: Worthy ideas? Critique my thought process on Friday February 17, 2012 @11:02AM (#3603760)
Maybe execution is everything, but you can't execute something that there's no demand for. Find a pain point in your life and make it more efficient. Go out and ask people if you can follow them around while they do their "business and finance" for the day and see if there's anything that can be improved.
Re:Show HN: A simple full page website snapshot service on Thursday February 16, 2012 @11:28PM (#3602137)
This is a cool hack! I think the next step is to think about what kind of problem this technology could solve. For example, I would use this tool if I could input a width and height to dynamically generate snapshots of websites at different screen resolutions.
Just my two cents: it might help your conversion rates if you put a few screenshots on the landing page so I can quickly see what the application looks like.

I could see this as a useful tool to create "skim" and "full text" versions of content, especially reference material.
