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…

The only solution to this I've seen so far is making it harder for "ordinary people" to discover the community, as HN tries to do it.
I 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.
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…
I've previously said that I'd like to see a fork of Wikipedia. The new version would remove the toxic meta community. It would focus on narrow and defined topics ("science", "art over 50 years old") and would have rigorous fact checking and sourcing. It would aim for truth and accuracy, not whatever the hell WP currently does. It would also have much better introductory paragraphs for every article.
The concept I mentioned relies heavily on Wikipedia and Wolfram Alpha. It seems like unfortunately Wikipedia is starting to see it's own share of not so important/factual information.

I made a tool to do selection screen recordings that record the system audio. Makes it really easy to record clips from youtube/netflix etc: https://github.com/Jonovono/cutter
I am working on a simple website to host the clips as well. cuts.io (live again soon). I want that as a hassle free alternative to youtube, for short clips!
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…
perhaps a followupthen for tabs?
Just for developers: Something that allowed you to change the IP your request resolves to with a modified URL instead of editing the hosts file, like this: 127.0.0.1:: http://mysite.com/ Benefits: Not as much work, not as permanent, you can use multiple at once, you can easily see where you are connecting. I think this is something web developers would pay a few bucks for. I know I would.
Baby 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.
