Re: Ask HN: Idea Sunday
#113A 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…
Search on Wikipedia?
Or what sort of facts&knowledge?

#114I like live shows. I would like a website that lists all the live shows in my area. Like "show me all shows at Shoreline". I haven't found a single site that tells me this.
Songkick?
Re: Ask HN: Idea Sunday
#115I have a strange fascination with knowing exactly how I discovered a particular artist, film, website, etc. I'd really love a browser extension that could keep track of how the user reached a given site. Then they could go back later and input, say, a YouTube URL, and it would show exactly what lead them to that song. I started writing such an extension myself, but I was clearly out of my element. So when Mozilla shu…
This already exists for most browsers. Pressing Ctrl+H should take you right to it.
Yes, but it sucks - if you browse using tabs (and everyone I does), then the simple time-order list that comes by defaults on Firefox and Chrome just doesn't cut it.
You can poke around and find the right history eventually but we've come to demand more of computers these days.

Songza is pretty great for this. http://songza.com/ iOS: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/songza/id453111583?mt=8
iOS app is US only and the website is broken. When I click on the play button it redirects to the home page.
Working or me right now in Chrome...

#117A way for employees to push back against their coworkers when they email too much crap to too wide an audience. In other words, I wish my Inbox had a little voting widget next to each message: +------------------------------------+ | 4,376 people received this message | | | | [Cool, it was ] [It was a waste] | | [important and] [of my time to ] | | [worthy of our] [ read this ] | | [ time ] [ message ] | | | +-------…
I love the idea of getting feedback on what you sent. It took me posting to HN and Reddit to realize how unimportant most things I work on are. It's one of those things that should be obvious but aren't until you are confronted with numbers. - A variation: to have emails you want to send go in a pending pool moderated by a team of trusted confidants, to avoid sending out email that is a waste of time.
Hopefully not being unnecessarily critical, but I can't see the trusted confidants bit working:
1) They're trusted confidants, probably more likely to
a) share your opinions
b) support you when they shouldn't
2) The more value your e-mail consumes (i.e. the more people that receive it), the more likely your trusted confidants have expensive time.
I agree trusted confidants is an improvement, but probably not enough on its own.

I spend a significant amount of time looking up live shows, but what about the Ticketmaster website for Shoreline doesn't do this? As far as I know, everything at Shoreline has to go through Ticketmaster/Live Nation. If the venue doesn't have their own calendar, most of the time Ticketmaster/Live Nation does. My personal solution is just to go through all the venues individually that I'm interested in. In the bay area that's about 15 spots for me.
Are you looking for a "show me all shows in San Francisco"? I haven't found a good solution to that either, and things like Eventful, Pollstar aren't the greatest as they simply show too much.

#119Baby near me Amenities near by with baby facilities, possibly with user ratings. All of my recently baby-ied friends complain about finding places to go, especially groups of recent mothers meeting up in the middle of the day.

#120A 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…
Did you have a look at the Firefox add-on Tree Style Tabs? It puts the tab titles on the left hand side, allows for grouping them and seems to be very stable. There are also a couple of add-ons that allow for exporting the tabs. That combination works quite nicely for me.
