A way to submit any legal document, and for a fee have it returned but explained in plain english. What do you guys think about this? And what do you think are the most common use cases/legal documents?

Crowd meets Class Action Lawsuits. A mobile or web app that shows many class action lawsuits in one place. I'd like to be able to go to one place and see a large list of pending class action lawsuits and their corresponding meta-data (deadline for joining lawsuit, company, details, link to website with more details, etc)
A solution for the "too many tabs open" problem. Need a way to save my history in an organized and interactive manner, with a nice looking UI. Sort of like the old WebMynd ( http://webmynd.com ). I find that most of my tabs are open as a form of reminder. If I close it, I'll forget it and might as well not have seen it. Same if I hide it away in some kind of bookmarking app. I think it would be best to apply a UI lay…

"Unload, park, suspend tabs to reduce memory footprint of chrome. Tabs can auto-suspend after a configurable period of time or be suspended manually. Tabs can be whitelisted to avoid automatic suspension. Suspended tabs are retained after closing and reopening browser, preventing many tabs from all reloading after a restart."
The idea is that brick-and-mortar stores/restaurants/hairstylists/etc that are located close to one another can communicate and coordinate days of the year (or month) when everyone in the area who is participating offers some sort of discount or sample.
It incentivizes consumers to make a day out of going to an area of town that might not otherwise get a ton of business.
Could lead to an interesting community of people travel around the world exploring and going to FootTraffic days.
A search engine for knowledge and facts. I think there's huge value in a search engine of knowledge and facts, where all sources are verified. A search engine that is objective and contains no opinions, crappy blogs or tweets, content farms. A search engine where you can't game your rankings through SEO techniques or through higher add spend. Google is amazing. Google Search is going to be here for a long time. I dou…
How about mini lockers with miniusb and apple chargers in each locker. People swipe a credit card and can rent a mini locker to charge their phone is.
I realize how low tech this is but it's less so than people babysitting charging phones.
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.

Im having trouble organising the information I consume. I have tried using a mix of Google Bookmarks, Youtube's watch later, GDocs, Evernote, Pocket, Dropbox (for pdfs/books) and tldr.io. There has to be something that encompasses the full 'learning process': find content, read/watch/listen it, summarise its most important points, list actionables, revisit it in the future... This maybe too personal to standardise, b…
It isn't trying to completely replicate the storage of everything you have in the apps you listed. Instead, it's trying to focus your attention to what your real goals in life are, so you hopefully end up with quite a minimalist approach, where you're discarding a lot of info that's essentially a distraction, and really able to focus on only saving the stuff which is relevant to your goals, and keeping a hierarchical list of actionables as your method of recall for the content, instead of it being scattered randomly across a dozen apps.
If this sounds like an attractive solution to you, would be great to talk about this a bit more (you can reach me through the site's contact form), because I want to work out ways to make the app smarter for covering that exact workflow you're talking about (discovery -> actionables).
Note that the app may look pretty "simple" from the landing page, but it is also very much aimed at power-users (I personally have a couple of hundred active steps+goals).
This is less an idea, more something for someone to think about. We need to figure out how to defeat the internet echo chamber effect. Notice how often, when a community gets started between a small group of people(such as early Reddit or HN), it's a place of intelligent, productive discussion, where people measure what they say instead of just spouting extreme rhetoric? Yet, once these communities grow, you inevitab…
I think you misunderstand communities. Vibrant communities are full of people who share a materially common set of opinions about various things. They engage and interact within that world view. At the same time people evolve and communities evolve. Sometimes you move away from the community, sometimes they move away from you. Either way, you can end up feeling like an outsider in a group you once considered yourself…
I think that there are two different kinds of interaction in social media: growth oriented interaction (show and tell) and approval/support oriented interaction (counselor sessions).
Show and tell takes more work. You have to teach your community members something to be successful. But it is also more enriching because it encourages meaningful comments that explore and expand on the ideas shown to the group.
Support group posts are much easier. Just relate your story, grievance, or thought. Meaningful comments are harder to come by because they tend to be simple messages of support or derision or a comment that could be their own support group post -- people will tend to go ahead and collect points with a second post rather than 'hijacking a thread'.
I believe the reason support group posts begin to dominate even in social forums that start off as member enrichment oriented is because they are easier and everyone harbors them. Through sheer numbers one strikes a chord and gets voted up. Then another, then another. They are easy to craft so the raw number of posts begins to guarantee that the forum will become dominated by support group posts. At the same time, it becomes harder and harder to teach the group something new: the circlejerk effect.

In the starting days of Reddit and then HN this really bugged me a lot. One of the solutions I wanted to try was to partition the user base on a similar way that posts are filtered to you. That is based on the up votes you give. Now I'm not sure if it happens here but at least on Reddit you have it on your customised first page. I believe that it isn't the user base that gets worse but that it gets much more diversif…
