An augmented reality app for furniture stores. The store would include something like QR codes in their catalog which shoppers can cut out and tape on their wall or place on the floor. Then the app renders 3d versions of the product when viewed through a phone. It'd be pretty awesome to see how a chair or painting would look in a room by getting a live rendering of the object actually in the room.
I like the comedy website idea. If tracks or "bits" were tagged it would be even better. "clean", "family", "kids" (for example) And then I could hear Bill Cosby's cookie jar bit, or Bill Engvall's I.G.Joe bootcamp bit, I'd be in listening heaven. HOWEVER, I know for a fact there used to be something out there similar to this. I think it was called "haha" or something like that. I don't know if it exists or went away…

#2 is partially handled by rdio ( http://www.rdio.com/ ) you can create and share playlists and any number of people can listen to them. Not sure about collaborating on playlists but considering the heavy social aspect of the site I would be surprised if that feature never arrived.
Yeah, when you create a playlist on Rdio, you can choose collaboration options: anyone can edit; only followers can edit; nobody can edit. And, as far as I know, there's no limit to the number of concurrent listeners.
Hmmm. Here's a problem that I'm going to end up building a solution to if someone else doesn't do it first (and by all means, please do it because I am lazy and have enough projects to last me for the foreseeable future): A CRUD application generator. You go to a page and define all of your models and basic rules. The models get defined in very simple terms - you give each model a name, and then define each field wit…
Coincidentally, I've got a great idea, I'm going to be moving to Fort Collins in about a two months and was going to start recruiting developers. I'd love to get in touch with you to see if there's a fit. Is there a good way to exchange contact info on HN without publishing it to the wider world?
Two things I would love to see: 1. Kayak.com for ground transportation. Trains, buses, ferries, etc. are a pain to compare prices and book right now. Admittedly there probably isn't as much of a business case for this. 2. A music site where I could collaborate on a playlist with my friends and listen to the music at the same time. Currently there are sites that let you share playlists, but not listen at the same time…

You can fill it to begin with using affiliate links to existing web apps. Once you get a decent number of people using it, you can allow people with new web apps to advertise there, or charge for subscriptions to be listed there, or take a cut out of every sale/signup. Many ways to skin this cat.
