Here's what I want: A cheap text ssh terminal with wifi,or cellular, nice keyboard hardware, with extremely long battery life (or solar powered), which i can just throw it in my car and forget it. Whenever I am away of my computer I can always log in to my cloud server and write codes or do some quick fixes.
A meetings clock that counts UP the price of a meeting based on the the salaries of the people in the room.
I frequently wonder if there is a place on the planet I'd be happier in. The idea is a site that allows me to select a wide variety of attributes and then search for places in the world that match those attributes. For attributes that I only care about only generally, I'd be able to select from a broad category. For those that I care a lot about, I'd be able to drill in to highly granular selections. For example, I m…
I would like the same service for jobs I might enjoy.
I don't know if this exists. But some companies don't ban some sites because they don't want to appear to be too controlling.
I personally do this by changing my own /etc/hosts file, but it is too easy to override. A firewall solution my be better for technical and not technical employees to help them to control their own browsing addictions.
Ordering prototype (3d printing, CNC machining, lasercutting) parts, reimagined. It's a major pain just to get a few parts made- first you find a company that does that, e-mail them their design, they get back to you with a quote and you either accept it or go back to step 1. What if you could just upload your design, select a material from catalogue and receive an instant quote. If you're happy with it, order the pa…
This might be fairly simple, but I can't find a good solution - A replacement for Google Groups. More specifically, a better UI to use Mailing Lists. Perhaps like vBulletin or other advance forum software. Maybe even built-in support in my email client? For the life of me, I can't find a good way to use Mailing Lists. I don't like receiving 40+ messages every day, but I don't find digest mode good enough either. Goog…
It's awful! And I agree with the other commenters that it used to be better. Usenet was better. A threaded mail client is better. HN is better. Reddit is better!
This got me thinking: why don't folks just deploy a reddit instance? It's open source, it's easy to hack, it works. I went ahead and did it myself. As a test, I wrote a little gateway program to import all the postings from that famous old Usenet dump [1], the one Google was so excited to preserve for us in clunky old Google Groups.
This Usenet-in-reddit experiment is surprisingly readable. Some of the formatting tricks and conventions from 30 years ago carried over without needing conversion. However, some things still need cleaning up before this is ready to be shown to the world.
If you're interested in helping out, it's a fun little project. Drop me a line!
There's a lot of parallel conversations on Reddit / HN / etc. for various articles. Would about pulling high rated, top-level conversations from multiple sources for a quick digest? Sort of like Google News for commentary.
I follow many social media feeds that are other companies in my industry - some partners, some competitors.
I want a script or app or service to dig through their social media history (pics, posts, etc) and send me what's been most engaging.
That's it. Can probably be done in iMacros, just haven't found the time... Could be a small SAAS though.

Web filter. I love F1 and there is a race today, so I can't look at 99% of the internet as they will show the result. I will watch the race later when the kids have gone to bed. This problem is so big that i have to avoid facebook becaue they also show trending news. So a filter that filters F1 or any selectable sports news. Then when i turn it off after watching the race the filter shows me a list of what news it fo…
