#2The damn hold music on freeconferencecall.com! Why can't there be a product to let you choose your own music!

#3I want a content marketing platform that let's you easily turn blog posts into other units of content (videos, infographics, slideshows, whitepapers) without going to 9 different systems.

#6I've been wanting an easy way to gauge opinions and ideas on a topic between a small group of friends/co-workers without creating accounts on a service.
For example, I want to ask "what are your thoughts on the new logo?" and have my co-workers leave comments and upvote/downvote each other's opinions.
Ideally, like a HN/Reddit-style upvote/downvote comment system where they could just type their name in and comment/vote.

#7Sending money internationally.
Comparing products across brands (they all have specs but the way they sort the specs is different and it's a pain to flip through tons of tabs).
Finding a chair to fit my kitchen table (given the dimensions of both).
Diagramming my bedroom to try to figure out if I can build a better bed.
Finding furniture that fits in a given volume (in my case, I want to find a trolley or counter that's Y cm high, at least X cm long, and between Z1 and Z2 cm deep).

Let me clarify -- let the user choose what music they would want to hear. I.e. let them listen to the music on their iPhone and then have the conference call interrupt their music playback when ready. Not sure if technically feasible.

#9A cheaper CRM that I can extend with plugins. Really, right now these things are super expensive for a small company in, say, east Europe. Also, there are tons of them for developers, none very good for businesses. I want the “standard” goodies (teams, tasks, admin panel, etc.), but then I want to be able to easily build on top of those.

#10I get pissed when reading an article on CNN and end up clicking a few click-bait type articles or videos in the right column. It takes ALL of my self control to avoid some of these. Maybe a browser plug-in that removes all these annoying recommended things which have NOTHING to do with the article.
