A self-hosting static Linux distro, with pacman. It's bloody hard to bootstrap a Linux userspace from scratch in general, but when you add that you want everything to be static it just gets stupidly difficult. I'll try again at some point with another strategy, it'll be the fourth such attempt.
Certain I'd like to talk with you about your strategy and see if we can get any closer than you did the past three times.
I couldn't build it because I a) lack hardware expertise to figure out tricks to navigate without GPS or/and map buildings and b) never figured out a realistic GTM for this.
1/ So the idea I haven't done is build a hacker search engine. I'm not sure what this would look like, but I'd bet being able to search through source code at high/low levels might be interesting.
2/ Another idea is I noted on the the Amazon/NES classic thread, arbitrage by Amazon/users resulting in instant sellout. Could this idea be used somehow?
Customers simply type what they want. GPS locates the customer. Companies submit reverse bids both manually and algorithmically. Customer accepts what suits them best. Yay, money saved, time saved, customer happy.
Specifically, I don't have enough experience building android apps to make it as slick as I would like. Happy to talk with anyone about it. Can build back end, will travel, etc :).
A Reddit alternative where the ranking for posts was personalized to each user. The ranking would be based the similarity between the voting history of the people who've voted compared to your own voting history. Think Netflix recommendation algorithm for Reddit.
SimVillage - A building simulation game of of a village of up to say 1,000 villagers. Like Simcity/Skylines, but with the emphasis on detailed human simulation rather than on large scale.

Not certain I could implement. Certain I'd like to talk with you about your strategy and see if we can get any closer than you did the past three times.
I was trying to build a clean static system I could use as a bootstrap to build clean packages from. Ran into trouble with things like coreutils, util-linux, and fakeroot. Making things harder is that I'm building everything against musl libc because glibc doesn't handle static linking well (and also because I don't like glibc).
I'm thinking a better strategy might be to use some other host system with pacman to build a base system of clean static packages, then use pacstrap to get this system up and running.
On the service-end, it would have basically been an Apache Spark instance doing collaborative filtering as data comes in. It seemed like a pretty sweet idea, but I couldn't find the time to work on it.
If this seems like a cool idea, you should definitely steal it and start working on it.
Related to this -- I wrote a blog post about a lot of my random ideas I haven't finished and why you should steal them. Complete list and blog post here: https://kristianfreeman.com/post/steal/
I want to build a meta-layer that sits on top of basically every cloud platform be it dropbox or facebook. The best one sentence pitch I can come up with is "A dashboard for your online life" it should ideally do things like present all your storage as a single filesystem, present all your social networks as a single feed, and beyond that allow interactions between services like saving an image from your social netwo…
