A notepad that can send my handwritten notes to the cloud. It should have a mini-scaner embedded into the top cover so when I want to backup a note, I just close the notepad, push the cover, remove the first page, close, push again. None of these ipad apps can substitute the good old pencil drawings
a simple, motion-sensitive sleep alarm. i just tried to find one, but they all require a phone or tablet. they're nothing simple and stand-alone with a very basic interface.
What is a "motion-sensitive sleep alarm"? One of those widgets that wakes you up at the most advantageous part of your sleep cycle that falls within a given bracket of time? ISTR seeing one of those a while back, in production, which was built on the wristwatch form factor and didn't need to integrate with an external device; if indeed that's what you're looking for, I'll see if I can turn it up and post info about i…
so i guess to correct my original post - something more like a simple, traditional alarm clock. with less obvious tech. but that somehow works this same way. basically just a clock display and some buttons to set the alarm time, and i guess some kind of wearable sensor.
A programmer social network. I find myself with two distinct sets of friends on Facebook: my tech friends and my normal friends. With my tech friends, I just want to post neat snippets of code as statuses and share github gists on walls and whatnot. So I'd like basically github with more social elements thrown in. Imagine seeing a cool repo, then being able to friend the owner, and open a chat box to have a quick cha…
Search function for browser tabs. So hard to find pandora in the haystack, and I need a short cut to search through all the interesting things.
Popcorn Time for quality children's programming - Bill Nye, Mr. Rogers, Sesame Street, Avatar. Shows that are entertaining AND educational, none of that advertising filled, sassy attitude, Disney Channel crap. edit: Seems like there is some interest in this. If anyone wants to discuss this more, email my username at me.com
Sometimes I spend 30 minutes looking for a good movie before giving up and watching The Bourne Supremacy again because at least I know I won't regret the 2 hours I invest in it.
I would pay $1 bounty every time someone just recommended a good movie that I end up liking.
TaskRabbit for businesses
So people could like something like I will do x for you for $y amount, all I need is you to fill out this template / give me this info.
So automate it as much as possible, and know how much it would cost. Break big tasks down into small ones.
For example, someone may offer to find you the cheapest place to buy tires in your area. All they need is , .
Something like that.

I am trying to make something similar to the Movie quote search. I am focusing more on making an easy way to share your favourite clips from shows. I made a tool to do selection screen recordings that record the system audio. Makes it really easy to record clips from youtube/netflix etc: https://github.com/Jonovono/cutter I am working on a simple website to host the clips as well. cuts.io (live again soon). I want th…
The site is running now. Here is an example of a clip I made with the tool from Netflix. All the clips on the site feature Ted Mosby.

There was a discussion on an earlier thread ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7489401 ) about bringing App Stores to servers. Would people use and/or pay for something like this?
