Challenge HN: Think of one reasonable product or service idea per day
2 points by ixacto on Jan 1, 2014 | hide | past | favorite
Sometimes there are those moments where we realize some behavior that we may be engaging in is starting to be slightly limiting, if not self-destructive. This could be anything from watching that extra episode of tv, checking reddit for the nth time today, or having the extra helping of dinner. I realized that I was partaking of social voting websites [hn, reddit, metafilter et al.] and blogs [anandtech, engadget] way to goddamn much this year, and as such have decided to channel that 40 minutes a day into something just a bit more productive.<p>I am launching a blog where I attempt to conjure up one reasonable product or service idea per day for the rest of 2014. Now why would I do this if ideas are essentially worthless and implementation is damn near everything? I am doing this because there is tech out there that I don’t have the time resources to implement, but I think that the community could implement it and it would benefit the implementers immensely. Look in my submission history about the ‘unserved underclass’ and you will see that there are many people who would like to use some of the services that have only been allowed to the wealthy. If you only make $0.20/user off of this market but there are tens of millions in the USA alone that is still a sizable amount of money. It will also have any other interesting ideas I dream up on my daily perambulations, and all are encouraged to take anything I come up with, build it, and make money off it. There is tech that I want made and there is money for anyone that can make it. The blog is ideasglaore.com (blogger ideasgalore1.blogspot.com until DNS updates) and I will be adding one idea per day for the rest of 2014.<p>And i am 127.0.0.1 hn. See you guys in 2015.
