the idea is that you should run some browser plugin which tracks your
surfing habits

instead of you manually having to mark everything interesting as
interesting, this plugin would try to figure out what you are
interested in based on patterns

it would also look at the patterns of your friends and try to
cross-match it between you

obviously, it would have to periodically show you a bunch of pages
that it has inferred from your browsing habits, and ask permission to
use them as data. otherwise, you might be embarassed as your friends
learn of your kinky sex habits :)

an easy way to take notes and do annotations for audiobooks, and to be
able to share it with your friends

maybe do "highlights" similar to Kindle? but using audio clips instead
(and maybe with auto transcription?)?

it's too noisy to talk to chicks on the dancefloor

so have an app that displays a set of X stock pick-up lines on the screen

you can hand it to the girl and she can respond Yes/No/Fuck off/Maybe/Etc

also, you can request that she do actions. eg go out for a fag, take a
photo together, give me your number, etc.

hippies who find nice apple trees or whatever in the wild can mark the
gps coords on a map

other hippies get a nice map of where to find apples, blue berries,
herbs and other nice stuff growing in the wild

Sites like Blocket.se and Ebay.com exist, but I don't know if they are
optimal for sellings lot of small items. Ie what if you want to sell
your entire book collection? You don't want to go through the tedious
process of setting up a sales ad for each item.

Imagine if you could just snap a picture with your cell phone instead.

So, let's say you have 300 books to sell.

1. Yank book out of shelf.

2. Snap photo using Quick Sell app.

3. Here comes the interesting part! How will you input a description
and a price in a quick manner? Some ideas: 1) enter manually using
smartphone 2) enter info later on your PC (ie every items gets added
to a queue) 3) speak info using voice 4) for a small fee, have someone
else enter a description 5) have it auto-scraped from the image (ie
compare with book covers from Amazon) - this is obviously a bit
science fiction but still an interesting thing to ponder. I think all
of these could work, but number 2 seems the best. It can also be
combined with some smart autocompletion look-ups (ie for books or DVDs
and stuff).

4. Goto step 1.

Obviously this would also work for eg cutlery, toys, mittens, and
various other knick-knacks & bric-a-brac. The idea is to create an
online yard sale of all your numerous stuff that you want to get rid
of.

say you want to post a link to a book on hacker news

instead of getting the biased/unresearched "churnalism" of mainstream media channels, have experts give their views on topics

pre-book before you go there

I am looking to start up my Mastermind Group again

what are some cool ideas for apps? might as well harness the fact that they are constantly moving around...
