12 startups in 12 months

Repo to brainstorm potential products to build as a challenge or within 1 month. Repo just cointains Notes.

AI related

  • AI affi: AI generated affirmations app, that generates music, affirmations, voice via AI tech. You could even upload your own voice so the affirmations are in your own voice.
  • Menu image generator: you are a visual person but the menu on your favorite website has no image? Worry not, menu ai Image gen is here to help. Its an extension where you can simply activate when you want to generate images of dishes based on a text only description.

Joke Ideas

  • Scratch Game: online grid with random colored pixels. Under the pixel grid lies an image (the reward). When you click two pixels with the same color, the pixels disappear, showing the underlying image. Once the image is fully free there is a confetti pop effect.
  • Twitter hexagon profile pic generator including banner, creates a banner and hexagonal profile pic such that it looks as if you are a fancy NFT holder.
  • Funny Open Petition: like openPetition.de, but less serious. You can submit "joke" submissions, and people on twitter can join that petition (and retweet). Examples:
    1. "Can we stop calling algorithmically generated NFT projects 'art'"
    2. "Petition to reduce ethereum gas fees"
    3. "Upload a picture of bernie sanders to the ethereum blockchain - estimated cost: 1 million USD"

AI / LLM Apps

  • AI code tutor: Interface for chatGPT that acts as a coding teacher (probably already implemented a hundred times by now).
  • SpeakToCode: Create code by talking to your computer, no typing needed. PROBLEM: sometimes you have an idea to program something, but no laptop available. Or you lie in bed and think about a specific code implementation, but are too lazy to get up and grab your computer. Solution: Speak to code! A simple webapp that lets you create a full codebase from scratch simply by talking to it. You start with an empty git repo, and each prompt will be transformed into a pull request, which you can accept, decline or modify.
  • AI Journal: a personal diary automatically created for you. What did you do this day, adds automatically some images etc. Story about your day.
  • Calories counter where you input the things you ate, ChatGPT puts it in a spreadsheet for you.
  • AI Fitness Coach: Helps you count your calories. Discusses your daily/weekly progress. Randomly sends message in case you are not up with your goal. Helps you make good decisions and encourages you to stay focused. When you are tempted, you can talk to your coach and he/she will try to motivate you.

Ideas

  • Discord but without login: BurnerChat / BurnerSpaces: Need discord or slack to communicate during an event but don't want to create a new workspace? BurnerSpaces can help. No login, no registration, just a simple url. The server is similar to slack or discord, but has the huge advantage that it can be run completely without login. Credentials are stored in the cookies / locally.
  • Quick-ToDo or Fast-ToDo: create simple todo list on the desktop, then open on mobile by scanning as qr code. Lists are persistant for short time only (1-4 weeks maybe?). If you need a shareble todolist without the burden of downloading an app.
  • Decide-Now or quick-poll or fast-poll: tired of group fatigue decision processes? Create a simple poll to help you and your group make a decision. Quick-Poll creator. Similar to: poll-maker.com. But with a bit different feature: => (1) no annonymous votes, (2) insert name and see who voted what (similar to doogle). Design inspos: Doodle, twitter polls, facebook polls.
  • GifStory: create a story out of Gif's and add text, stickers and and emojis (similar to instagram functionality, maybe upload own images as well?). Allow for multiple pages (like a slideshow). Then make it easily shareable with a public link (expires in X days). PRO feature: pay 5$ per month: unlimited slides. Never expires. Templates.
  • ChooseMyStartup.com: plattform that is a notebook for all your ideas and anyone can rate and comment them and signup if they would use it. Login through magic link. You can tag them. To find out what great ideas are. This allows you also to phrase your ideas and formulate them. Spend some time on evaluating them before presenting them to friends or strangers. PRO Features: add custom link: ChooseMyStartup.com/thomas + mobile version + Private Ideas.
  • launch your idea tracker: Tool that aggregates all plattforms to promote a product launch (e.g. producthunt, sideproject.org and so on) and makes it easier to keep track of the process. a tool that keeps track of all your projects that you launch and all plattform where to launch in one place. Also generate metrics for the projects to measure success. Maybe code first to use for all other projects? Use the development cycle by 12 startups in 12 months guy
  • Encrypted Database: Database as a service that lets you store your data. But we ensure that its encrypted. If you loose your keys, your data is not readible.
  • Podcastify: Service for youtubers that automatically converts their videos and uploads them to Spotify!
  • CalledIt: Service that lets you track predictions. (Idea by AllanHolmes how to implement MVP: notion doc that gets updated manually and people can submit their calls). Do MVP for "crypto youtubers predictions".
  • LetBezozPay: Go to this site before buying stuff on amazon, and we will return all amazon affiliate income to a good cause. Idea by David. Nonprofit, simple to set up and get running.
  • Time Visualizer Library: HTML / CSS library to display time across different countries. when you hover over it you can see your current time + time remaining timer.
  • CoinMarkeCapInstitutions: https://youtu.be/_smIE-yixDg?t=345 Coinmarketcap with all coins that institutional investors can see.
  • take back your digital self: Landing page that just has 1 cta: sign up if you want to own your own digital self. Lol. ANd ressources about why privacy matters. Why privacy != no accountability. Ressources to holochain and different sources. Cool youtube videos etc building the case for digital ownership of your data.

Silly

  • cameo for celebrity doubles: you would live a personal shoutout from a celebrity but cameo is too expensive? Worry not, we have top class celebrity doubles that are a quarter of the price that cameo.
  • publish your netflix series: a fake neftlix website where you can upload your own videos and descriptions and share a public link with ur friends, so it looks like your fake content is an actual netflix series. To use as a joke only.
  • music NFT: you are an artist. You create a single NFT that represents a song. Only the holder of this NFT can listen to your song. Then people can "line up" to purchase the NFT to listen to the song, and then sell it to the next person. When you buy, you know for sure that there is another person after you which will buy the piece to listen to. Smart contract ensures that you can buy and sell for the same price within a given amount of time. The last person keeps the NFT in perpituety. The nft is passed along, and every time the nft is changing "hands" the creator/artist gets a fee. The time you can hold and listen to the song is very limited. E.g. you line up and then you are assigned a specific time the NFT will be in your possesion and then you can play/listen the song. Flawed idea since when people will listen they will probably record and republish it. Or is there a way to ENSURE (with zero knowledge proof?) that sound is not recorded? Probably not. Definately not. Stupid idea. Needs improvement.

UTILITY FOR MYSELF

  • document generator: webapp with figma style UI that helps you build documents (anträge). You can assemble your documents.

  • Interior Sketcher: Online app to draw your room, then visualize it in 3D. You can import all furniture from Ikea by default. Questions to research: 1. Did really no one build this? 2- Why does Ikea not have it? 3. Am I the only one that wants to visualize the room (maybe there is no demand?)
  • Self Hosted Dropbox: Buy your own server that you can run at home. Periodically can be backed up to a cloud hosting solution like google cloud or AWS, but the data is encrypted, such that your data is not usable without your encryption key. That way privacy is enabled, but you can still profit from robustness of big cloud providers without leaking and exposing your data and privacy.
  • Self Hosted Notion Alternative: Build a notion alternative that works on a local folder structure on your local file system (and can be backed up with any cloud hosting provider like dropbox or google cloud, or your very own cloud).
  • TrackYourLife: Define custom goals and track their progression (habbit forming).

  • MobRun: For lonely joggers that try to find a community of runners in the area they run / Gamifying the jogging experience by trying to flock groups of people to jogg together. Connecting on the app through real time contact only. OR ANOTHER APPROACH: matches runners that run in the same area and similar pace with each other. Tinder for runners. Upload your data from runtastic or nike+ and get recommendations. Stats are most important.
  • mediumforcoders.com: Simple clone of medium.com that supports codeblocks with syntax highlighting.
  • Only HTML CSS Form Creator Tool: build the best too to create a form by only using HTML and CSS. Multiple layers, first pick layout and dimensions, then pick the components. Then mpdify functionality (autocomplete, password, textfield vs textarea etc, at the end you can chose from a community driven pool of stylings).
  • BannerAPI: create your banner on the fly with an API like this: bannerapi.com/?text=hello world&color=red&dim=200x200&theme=x => that automatically generates a banner image OR a website that displays the banner
  • tradestracker: platform that lets you plan and track all your trades. Each trade has the following parameters: => status (planned, open, exited) => thesis why to invest. => Entry plan. => potential Stoploss Y/N? => Exit plan (taking profits) => Summary / Lessons Learned

GAMES

  • Split or Steal interactive game: you get to watch a 1 min video about people playing the split or steal game, then you can guess who is gonna choose splot and who steal. you get points if you can guess correctly. Basically a game to test your human behaviour prediction qualities ("Menschenkentnisse"). Example clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXYxAY1CkBQ
  • Multiplayer Games: webbrowser session -> lets people play with their phones! (tetris / asteroids / pong)

  • NFT Price Guesser: Game that shows you an NFT and 3 opions what the current value of that NFT is, you can choose between 4 answers.
  • old games in the browser: play old classic games in the browser, by porting the full game to WASM. Similar to: DOOM3 => http://www.continuation-labs.com/projects/d3wasm/. (NOTE: I really don't think this project would makes sense economically. Getting licences, then rewriting code just to serve on the web, for a small target audience. But fun for sure).

Fun Terminal Games

SHOWCASE PRODUCTS

  • Filedrop.com: A website that lets you drop anything from your computer to your phone (Text, Links, Media). Generates QR code to scan. Stores the data on the server for a short period of time. Domain already in use.
  • Dashboardly: Just my custom library of webcomponents to buid dashboards (Ceps DB panel, liist-web)
  • ubuntu color picker: same question as with the emoji picker. Can we write a native desktop app that accesses the screens information?
  • ubuntu emoji picker electron app: as sideproject. Is it possible to write a emoji picker that opens where the mouse is and writes the emoji to the clipboard?
  • Autocomplete Showcase: build a search autocomplete prediction website, that stores all queries that were run, and then updates bayes probabilities on queries to predict what most likely is going to be searched for, and then display those most likely queries to the user. Let the user "retrain" the model.

TECHNICALLY DIFFICULT

  • SteerYourPcByGestures: API to use hand gestures or audio commands to steer your computer. Build with lobe or teachable machine. MVP: for youtube? Maybe extension?
  • NFT Framework: NFT token framework that lets people buy "stocks" of a private person (content creator) or band etc. The address holding the NFT token can then sign a message and get access to specials offered by that band. Usecase: a band sells 10 NFTs that allow the holder to always get into a live gig. A hype could build up whats the next big band and people could speculate on the future success of bands.
  • Holo Ghosts: CryptoKitties clone on Holochain.
  • CalledItBtcPricePredictionBet: Game to predict the next ATM of BTC. Designed as smart contract with oracle chainlink? small percentage of all locked up funds go to the developer (me).

CREATIVITY / ARTSY

(1) add your preferences, then detect music and autogenerate, (2) or manually control the visuals by drawing on your phone, which then adds the visualization to the big screen. (3) let audience connect and be part of the performanc (somehow).
  • Code 2 Poster: link your github repo, we make a poster out of it. Similar to Bitcoin Whitepaper Poster.
  • SwarmBrush: Tool (maybe extension to photoshop) that lets you draw using swarm algorithms to enhace creativity
  • NFT ticket art show: sell tickets as nfts, and each NFT is a playable character in an immersive VR experience. The game is backed by some ethereum so the winner gets a price.

EXTENSIONS

  • Scam Comment Remover: flags youtube comments of poeple having same name than the creator, because they are often impersonated.
  • Comment Wall: browser extension that lets you post comments on any website. All comments are public and users can upvote/downvote comments. Think of it as a reddit thread for every single webpage. To consume content and for private notes you do not need to pay, but if you want to publically post stuff you need to pay a fee on 10$ to prevent bot armies.
  • JS runner: browser extension that lets you run your own javascript. You can post your code with descriptiuon. For example: "avoid medium popups", or: "scrape instagram pictures" etc...
  • PrivateCookieAccepter: Extension that automatically accepts the most private cookie settings on all those stupid GDPR cookie settings. The tool is now actually doable by using chatGPT or other LLMs!
  • Chat With Terms: Extension that summarizes and answers questions about terms and conditions, and points out critical parts.

Privacy

  • Facebook Data Leak Checker: find out who of your contacts is affected by the facebook data leak and inform them. Because facebook won't inform its users.
  • PrivacyNow: setup anonymity on the internet -> organize a hackathon. How to delete all data and create pseudonyms. + prove to people who I am by providing a signed message with the private key of the publically availible key on my pseudonym website.
  • GoodAdvertise: Advertising works by repetition. But the advertiser's interests are not aligned with the user being served the adds. Imagine what positive impact one could have when you would get advertisment for stuff that is actually beneficial to you instead of random stuff corporations want to sell you in order to maximize profits. Example: Imagine how exciting it would be to get adds that show how running or meditation is beneficial to your health. And you get those adds all the time. This would rewire your brain for new patterns and would truly benefit the person seeing the add. GoodAdvertise is a service that plays you randomly adds that you yourself create (shold be a google extension?)
  • Visualize your Values: It's important to know yourself and be aware of your core values. To help become who you want to become, launch a tool that creates phone backgrounds that visualize your values in a beautiful way. That way you keep reminded about your inner core every day, and hopefully, help you strive for what you aim for. Similar that the GoodAdvertise idea

  • bigo.io: flashcards for learning / evaluating BigO notations. With detailed explenations.
  • algospeedrum.io: Algoexpert.io but for algorithms you want to be able to memorize. Use case: pick algorithms you want to "learn" or "internalize". Do them every morning and evening before going to bed in a random order. E.g. you pick => bubble sort, selection sort, reverse linked list, linked list nodeswap, powerset, getPermutations, binary tree DF and BF traversals. Then your coding environment is setup such that you can easily write those functions and you get a report after your "speed run". => how long did it take you? Whats the successrate? New record?
