Ask HN: Idea Sunday

I think we should resume this Idea Sunday threads. And this first edition of March, 2015.

A small HN experiment. Every Sunday, a thread will be started to share product ideas. Why? Because many people have ideas they will simply not have the time to implement, and many need product ideas to work on.

MVP as a service, where you pay a fixed amount each month to get a fixed number of developer hours.

EDIT: To expand on this a bit: True lean development, every month focused on delivering a working product. Initially using third party applications like Firebase and Parse, gradually increasing features, but the product must launch by the end of the first month.

some place where entrepreneurs can put real ideas they're working on, and anyone can vote on them. If you're an investor and love an idea, you can pay for an intro to the team. (names and details are otherwise hidden.)

any such money is shared with the founders who posted the idea (30% site, 70% them) and they can use it to help roll out their MVP.

How about someone besides Apple makes trackpads for laptops which are actually usable?

StartupMentions.io

We recently wanted to create a page to list all mentions of our product. So, we duct taped a JotForm form with the JotForm api and created one. But if there was a service that created and maintained the list and let you manually edit the list, I am sure many startups would pay $20/month for it. http://www.jotform.com/inthenews/

Maybe it should be monthly instead of weekly?
