#2This probably isn't the best way to come up with the idea for your billion dollar app.

“Idea 737 : Electricity which can be transferred from place to place through air rather than wires.”
Incredible idea. This would revolutionize our world and get rid of ugly power lines. Just need to find some engineers ready to change the world by building a prototype. I will give the right EE/react.js developer 10% to be part of this amazing opportunity and build their portfolio.

#6App that reverses entropy
Re: Ask HN: What app do you wish existed but doesn't?
#7That's the million dollar question:
* An app that makes you see and use new tools and frameworks that appear on HN (preferably in contained VMs)
A pdf reader that let's you search quotes on reddit to see what comments are about that quote.
Binge-reading and listening eBook reader: challenge is not to break the chain between listening (preferably TTS) and reading. Good books example: Infinite Jest, Buddha discourses etc.
Meditation app that (gruesome alert) makes you meditate on impermanence by seeing a corpse of yours (oldify + zombify).
Netflix for classics books with movies (Albert Camus The Stranger etc)
Blockchain crypto for religious communities cause money and religion don't go good hand in hand.
Etc...

#9A volume dampener for each and every car stereo within a 50 yard range, as long as they are in that 50 yard range.

#10Honestly, I just want a game like Magic: The Gathering that isn't so expensive to play drafts, but still has the strategy involved, and I want it to have a mobile client. Honestly, I like the format of LCGs (I like buying things all at once instead of buying random chances), but I don't know of any that do drafts, and I don't know of many that have mobile clients.
I don't use many apps on my phone, all of my important work happens on my desktop or laptop, and I honestly prefer open source software when it will work even if the experience isn't as good (less risk of it completely going away). If I knew what would make my life better, I'd probably just build it and start my own company selling it. However, I don't have the time to make a game (and it's a very risky venture), and games are a lot less fun when you make them yourself, so I will always prefer to buy those.
My current side project (likely to die in the next few weeks as I get tired of it) is an LCG that has a draft system, constructed system, mobile client, and your option of subscription (pay $X/month for unlimited draft) or per-event entrance (and winnable entries). If someone builds a good enough replacement first, I'll give up and pay.
