A site to organize systems. There are plenty of "List of frontend development tools" or "list of git tools". I want a site where users can build lists, share them, vote on them, categorize the content and update it with the new tools. alternativeto.net is a partial attempt at doing that but it doesn't take a systems thinking approach
Okay, a bunch of ideas. Probably nothing as good as my last one ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7542610 ), which was meh to begin with (but I'm happy to see that it sparkled a bit of interest). #1) An anonymous blogging platform. A site that obviously doesn't log you, and that allow you to publish posts without having them attached to an username. Since many would like to somehow post under the same handle, bu…
#2) Something like http://www.reddit.com/r/somebodymakethis ?

A service that figures out how to create and deliver healthy (meaning not extremely salty, sugary, etc.), same-day-prepared, vegetarian-friendly meals for $10 USD per day or less. The service would make one or two dishes so that they can be prepared in batch (maybe one non-vegetarian, and one vegetarian), and deliver them at a predetermined time. The current services in this industry tend to cost a lot more than this…
It differs in that they deliver the ingredients, you spend up to 30 minutes cooking (for dinner) or 10 minutes (for lunch).

I tried to use IFTTT to build something workable but the key is getting notifications all at once for everything when I want them, not duplicated notifications when they come in.
I'm willing and able to work on this with someone if anyone wants this problem solved (PHP, JS).

I want a batch notification service. Every 15/30/60/90/configurable minutes (or on request), the service would ping all my communication channels and give me a summary on a page or to a mobile app. I don't have notifications for email/social media because I don't want the interruption but, during downtime, I find myself checking through all the different services I use to see what's outstanding. I don't need the app…
From there they would be injected into a redis queue, and fanned out to email (daily), a simple HTTP web-page, and xmpp.
It wasn't hard to setup the core. The hard part was pushing notifications into it. I suspect you might have the same problem. Writing a deamon to stream twitter and POST items matching a regexp, etc. Good luck integrating with facebook too!
Most of the pieces are out there, and joining them up isn't hard. But .. it didn't work out as well as expected just because of the integration aspects. That said I have a semi-working system pinging me via XMPP when new blogs are posted, etc.

But the most likely criticism is the lack of variety. You send somebody food they don't like. e.g. A meat-eater who doesn't like beef, and they'll be unhappy regardless of how healthy it might be. Suddenly you need to let people choose from a menu, and the economies of scale become harder to achieve as you've got to cook N-types of meal, not two.
