A travel website where you enter the date and the amount of money you have to spend on a ticket, and it tells you all the places you can go.

Isn't there a YC-backed startup that does this? I seem to recall meeting one of the founders at one of the parties after last year's Startup School, but I can't remember the company's name for the life of me.

I was kinda disappointed http://wappr.com/ didn't take off like this has. I found about it via HN a few months ago. Of course, for things like this community plays a huge role. Another site I like for ideas is: http://www.halfbakery.com/ On a slight tangent, for the past month or so I've begun making a list of all the random ideas that pop into my head or get suggested by others. My old-self would guard this list to…

Yeah, I imagine every thinker does. I'm also amazed as always how much overlap there is everytime I talk with someone else about their list.

I like the app for the wife/gf - the guy wants to call it INag. Basically an app that lets the wife/gf assign tasks to get things done.

God I can scarcely think of few ways better to destroy your partner's respect. I know I'll get downvoted but meh. You should already have your own means of tracking 'todo' and you should be in charge of what ends up on there.

And they say ideas are a dime a dozen.. Yeah they are.. but good ideas are not.. It's all about execution right? Not exactly. As this list proves: good ideas are hard to find, don't like to be let out of their secret boxes and don't exactly grow on trees. So no.. it isn't all about execution as so many people have said on this board.. It may be that through execution you come to refine the original idea but to make s…

Agreed. I never implement ideas by others, like "I want X" ideas. I prefer to experience the problem I'm trying to solve, and the solve it. I'm my own costumer.

I agree. I think the top post on Wappr actually killed the concept. I'll be keeping an eye on this subreddit because it definitely has some decent ideas. And even if you don't make exactly what someone asks for, it is good to get an idea of what kind of apps average users want.
