An IDE for ideas. Intellisense for thoughts. For those of you who develop using powerful IDEs (such as Visual Studio, Eclipse, ...), it's hard to imagine going back to a basic notepad. Most people, most of the time, don't write software. They exchange ideas, express wishes, share their feelings. And to do that, they use tools that are not more powerful than a basic notepad. This forces them to be explicit, to explain…
RAID Arrays for online storage services. So many services offer a free tier, maybe 5gb for free and then you pay after that. Some are much higher. Build sort of a proxy to these services so that you have a distributed and large free online storage system. This was an idea my team had last year when we were looking closely at a photo organization and management startup. We had won a startup competition, had investors…
Ok I'll go first. It's an "Imgur for audio files". Now there's times when you record an audio and want to share it. What do you do? Uhh,, umm.... Yup. exactly. There's no reliable, easy-to-use app to share audio files (not music). So, this is a web/mobile app for easily uploading and sharing audio files, and playing them. I don't have a full plan laid out, but I'll work on it for sure. (If you'd like to be notified w…
simple, awesome , fast and opensource

Here's my take on this, in the form a ramble:
Intellisense works really well for code because there's a finite set of, for instance, methods you can call on a certain object - so I'm assuming you mean something that's more than just autocompletion.
I'm not really sure language on its own is powerful enough to handle ideas. When I think of organising thoughts and ideas I normally think of a mind map type of thing.
However, mind map software is too restrictive in terms of what you can create. A sheet of paper + pen is an excellent tool for noting down ideas and thoughts, but paper is finite and ink is irreversible: you can't move around/delete stuff.
I also sometimes have trouble with situations where idea A and idea B are related, but are situated at two completely ends of a mind map graph. So this might mean dispensing with two-dimensional mind maps entirely, but I struggle to imagine a non-annoying way of displaying a mind map in 3D.
Web filter. I love F1 and there is a race today, so I can't look at 99% of the internet as they will show the result. I will watch the race later when the kids have gone to bed. This problem is so big that i have to avoid facebook becaue they also show trending news. So a filter that filters F1 or any selectable sports news. Then when i turn it off after watching the race the filter shows me a list of what news it fo…
I wrote that years ago, and I read last year that a kid had won a hackathon with this. I think some of the TV apps do this?
I never updated the code for the new Twitter API, could fish it out but it wasn't that hard to write really.
- Yes, IMDB exists. And has some of the functionality I'd like. But it is a slow site, replete with ads, upsells, 2003-esque "only show 10 results per page!", etc. Yes, I realize they have to make money.
- Yes, there are millions of movies in existence, and thousands added to the pile every year. Not sure how to fix that data issue :(
Just going to throw this one out there. I live in Lisbon, it's tourist-central (I'm from SF and I've never seen so many tourists). Since I see a ton of lost people every single day there should be a way to digitally leave comments on things and places and a free one-stop shop to find such info (like Wikitravel). This info, although having a central repository, should be pushed out to an app that connects to one's pho…
I'm not sure, though. The main page isn't clear about what it does exactly, and I haven't created an account.

Interesting nonetheless. :)
A file naming convention (lightweight markup) that would allow us to store structured (meta)data right inside file names. Obviously inspired by Markdown and CSV. We could then build lean, database-less asset management applications, while the user data (i.e. the files and their metadata) would always be portable, across platforms. Take for example: J.M.W. Turner | Rain, Steam and Speed | ···· 1844.jpg W. Blake ···· |…
rc=1.0/ecut=60/kp=4,4,4/
rc=1.0/ecut=80/kp=4,4,4/
rc=2.0/ecut=60/kp=4,4,4/
rc=2.0/ecut=80/kp=4,4,4/
but some standard way of expressing it in the file name would be great, and nicer to parse out later. There are filesystems that allow metadata, but I've never seen one really being used for that purpose. You could make some associated command line tools that are equivalent to 'ls' that allow splitting/slicing the files down different parameters.
I want a social cooking platform where the only way to represent a recipe is with a diagram.

You're a cooking master? No need to explain you how to make a roux or how to blanch vegetables.
Don't have butter? We'll substitute the step where you need butter by the steps to make it.
Allergic to peanut? These nuts are a good alternative.
Let's build a semantic recipe platform that's not linear and add a functional twist to ingredients (the part where you can substitute an ingredient by the function that returns one).
