I want an implicitly parallel programming language. Write code that looks single threaded, doesn't have any mutex/spawn/channel stuff in it, that runs on one core locally or the nearby cluster with the same behaviour and lower wall clock time.
Not sure about startup but -- I'm unable to retain minutia in my brain for long (weeks, months, years) periods but the industry I work in requires it. Examples include: How many queues does X have? How many are write-only queues? How many can be reconfigured to become wider queues? What are the protocols supported by Y? Which version of the protocols are supported? I would like a tool, - accessible at my fingertips (…
Maybe it does and if so I don't want to discount that, but a lot of me doubts it. I think you want to have an answer to these questions instantly available, but have you stopped to consider whether the people asking the questions expect that? And, if they do expect that, are they being reasonable?
A well-presented "I'll look this up and get back to you" type of answer is often acceptable. To me, the idea of this level of intensity is unsustainable.
I'm going to take a wild guess and assume you're in engineering. If so, I recommend you find some reading on what Sales Engineers do in situations where they're asked curveball questions.
My default thought is that anyone expecting you to know everything instantly is probably being unreasonable.
Help my autistic kid Learn to speak. The closest app is $200 just to show him flashcards and says an audio clip.
Recipes w/ calories, pricing to my favorite grocery stores (Trader Joes, Sprouts, Whole foods), and food prep instructions (sunday night prep) I can tell you if you're looking to make this a startup idea, its a shitty one. Bad Market, Hard problem. With that said, I'd pay >$100 a year for it.
Recipes are just recipes on recipe web sites. NYT Cooking is a nice one. Food prep is just...making the recipes and putting the food in your fridge.
As far as easy meals literally hundreds of services exist for this. I recommend finding one that's local so that you aren't dealing with wasteful packaging and shipping. IMO the ones that fully prepare the meal are honestly better than ones that make you cook it.
Also restaurants exist and a lot of people literally just eat at restaurants/fast casual/fast food for every meal.
How much of our lives is spent filling out forms? They usually ask for the same data (much of it unchanging) for a lifetime . So: this: Each of us may acquire a single-purpose, secure personal-storage device we can easily backup (but with a different key). A query from some org will ask for a list of particulars. If a particular is already on the device, it may be routinely added to the output queue, else it asks us…
Storing the info isn't enough, and forcing every business to adopt the same specification is unrealistic. I think only my high tech dentist has anything digital.

Is an app appropriate for this? Have you looked into speech therapists? It sounds like you need a professional who is trained for this sort of thing. Not everything can be handed off to an app.

this is called "erlang"
It’s restless legs, but it happens in deep sleep, when you’re unaware it’s happening.
Sleep apnea has tons of tech built up to help with the problem. Smart connected CPAPs that monitor your sleeping for you, for example.
But for periodic limb movements in deep sleep the specific need of tracking limb movements is not well covered. My sleep doctor suggested putting a fit bit on my ankle. This sort of works, but not well.
With such a large potential market, and totally plausible movement sensing products, I’m surprised more companies haven’t gotten specifically into limb movement monitoring during sleep.
I suffer from periodic limb movement disorder. It’s actually the second most common sleep disorder after sleep apnea.

For example, it would automatically recognize the five different email signatures I type often and make them accessible by typing, say, ”xxsig” followed by pressing TAB to cycle through the five signatures. I would also want it to learn how I write docstrings and generate templates that I could access via another keyword.
