A github-like service for musicians that would allow: 1. Version control of compositions; 2. Forks of other musicians' "repositories" / compositions; 3. Contributions to other musicians' songs; 4. Possibly play the songs online; 5. Private / public repos; 6. Individual / band / group / organization repos. 7. ???

Re: Startup idea list
#82Ok, I have no idea how to do this startup but it seems very profitable. Have you ever noticed how anyone under 40 believes with 100% certainty that social security won't be around for them when they retire. Well I think it probably will be around. Most big (popular?) government programs aren't going away no matter what the media says. So how about selling social security insurance. Buyers pay a premium each month to…
Insurance works because the probability, eg of death, is spread out over many buyers; not everyone will die young. If social security goes away, the payout is 100% and your company goes bust.

#83Here's another app idea. Create a catalog of map data based on years and let a user see what their location looked like in years past. Users could see what stores used to be there, how fast their city has sprawled, and could show their kids what their house looked like before it became a strip mall.

#84A service which allows me to upload a document (PDF, .doc, whatever), input an address and then pay for it to be printed and sent to that address via mail (courier optional). I'd use this service so much: 1. Printers are fast becoming a thing of the past. How often will people need to use printers in five years time? 2. Lots of government functions still require printed documents (heck, even Twitter insisted that I f…
Apple still requires developers from outside US to fax them form with their credit card number on it. (!) On the other hand, there are services that will fax PDF for you, even for free.
to fax them form with their credit card number on it. (!)
and expiration date, and cvv (not joking)

#85Collectively purchase/own items. For instance, baxter[programmable android] came out yesterday/today, and you would like to try it out, but the price point of 22k is too much. A group of people, say 22, can collectively purchase it and rotate the usage of baxter amongst themselves.
Are you familiar with Timeshare ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeshare )? It usually refers to property ownership, but can apply to pretty much anything. Most people consider the middlemen in timeshare situations to be scammers, so it would be tough to market.
A few problems:
1. The subject property breaks, who pays? Insurance is clearly necessary, but who will go through the time to process a claim? What if it breaks in transit between owners?
2. Theft. What's to keep an owner from disappearing with the item?
Re: Startup idea list
#86Here's a few I've been thinking about: - Remote aid delivery by drone: build and send small robotic aircraft to remote areas and drop aid, preferably starting with medicine (lightweight and very useful). Small helicopters (quadrotor drone copters as you see at TED/MIT) could land and accept return packages if necessary. Trips could be made to hazardous places where human-driven aid drops can't venture. Additionally,…
I think you're looking for either 720p or 1080p.

#87A service that allows me get all my snail mail by email, I get a virtual address, they scan / OCR etc (and spam filter)

Re: Startup idea list
#88A service that enables you to never have to attach a file to an email again. (Or at least one that teaches my parents how to retain this information.)

#89A service that allows me get all my snail mail by email, I get a virtual address, they scan / OCR etc (and spam filter)
I've been looking into this.
Just as a rough idea: what monthly price would you find bearable?

I'd pay for this. In fact, I end up paying friends to do that for me, while I'm outside the US & have to send docs (such as tax forms, etc.)
