Ideas

Over the course of a career, a person gathers a lot of experience, mainly through the work they do for a living. But that does not always go hand in hand with what they would actually enjoy doing. For example, I enjoy photography, flying drones, and making videos, but I do not have enough experience for it to become my job — for someone to pay me for it. I would like a place where I could present what I can do, and especially what I would like to do if I could devote more time to it.

At the moment, accessibility is required only for certain types of websites, but overall the trend is moving toward websites being accessible in general. That makes sense. It also makes sense to have a tool for this that will evolve gradually as accessibility requirements evolve.

SEO has been dead for quite some time; now the trend is AIO — optimization for AI. It’s important to know whether a website is ready for AI bots and whether it has the potential to be cited by AI in the links it lists as its sources.

Ikigai is a Japanese concept that means something like a “reason to live” or a “reason to get up in the morning.” It is not just about career; in a broader sense, it is what gives your life value, joy, and meaning — work, relationships, hobbies, or even small everyday things. In the West, ikigai is often explained as the intersection of four things: what you love, what you are good at, what the world needs, and what you can be paid for. This would work well as an online quiz.

The user sets up an email address where they will receive an email with a link they must click. They choose the frequency and how many such emails they can ignore before emails start being sent to preselected email addresses with different messages. For example, a list of bank accounts for their partner, or information about where a hidden treasure is stored, etc.

I’ve long wanted an online interface where I could choose, for various activities in my immediate future (the next week), how much time I want to devote to a specific activity, and have 5 containers into which I could pour portions of time for each activity. By activities I mostly mean a specific project. But it could also be exercise or studying, etc. When I pour it into the individual containers, I’d see how much remains undivided for each activity — how many more containers it would fill. That’s a rough outline; what mattered to me more was the visualization, so a person can get an idea of it. When you try something like this in a calendar or project app, it’s usually quite chaotic and even depressing.

Most personality questionnaires make you enter your email or pay a few dollars after 50 questions. I’d like the profile to be built continuously as you answer the questions. On the left, you answer, and on the right, what it says about you will be displayed. The answers would influence one another, so an answer to one question could change what another answer says about you.

An online tool where a user would paste the URL of a property listing for sale, and AI would assess whether the property is priced well, what its pros and cons are in terms of long-term price development as well as livability. It could also indicate whether it is suitable only as an investment, for Airbnb, or for living — and whether it is appropriate for a family with children, etc.

When my girlfriend and I were in Bali, we noticed that on the street where we were staying, a spa center was being built... but there were already about ten of them on that same street. In Southeast Asia, it’s quite common to have lots of the same kind of business on one street. A little lane for electronics, a lane for fertilizer, and so on. The longer we stayed, the more we noticed that these developments were by immigrants, and it seemed more like an investment opportunity. But what if it would make more sense to build something better and more meaningful in a given location? Based on certain data, the ideal project for a specific area could be predicted.

I’d like to try creating an onboarding process for an online application. I’m interested in how to make it as engaging and as pleasant as possible for users. It could be an interesting experience. I just need to find a suitable app to work on.
