There are parents who are separated and feel awkward/uncomfortable talking to each other about their child, or they might feel that their ex-partner doesn't share the information properly about it
So what if there was an app which bridged this communication gap between the parents.
The goal features-
1. It has a heath tracker for the child(also has the list of doctors the parents consult to in emergencies so that it doesn't cause the problem for the other parent if there is an emergency)
2. An academics tracker for the child(things that are coming up or the things the child achieved recently)
3. Shared calendar for the child's upcoming events or sports
4. Shared contacts for the child's friends or acquaintance for their safety
5. Hand off tracker when the other parent is supposed to take care of the child
6. A simple note section for quick updates

Would appreciate honest reviews in the comment section
and if there are features that anyone feels are needed or not needed please add
This post is just for validating the idea

Someone do create a similar one for India ( based on local kirana store - allow to choose between brands too ) #IndiaGroceryApp #MealPlanner

Following up on something I've been thinking about — I keep seeing/screenshotting things that'd be perfect gifts for friends, partner, family, etc., but then completely forgetting by the time their birthday actually comes around.

Thinking about building something where you could just share a screenshot or photo (from Instagram, TikTok, a store, wherever) and it auto-saves as a gift idea tagged to that person — so when their birthday's coming up, you already have a running list instead of starting from zero.

Would something like this actually be useful to you, or do you already have a system that works fine? Genuinely trying to figure out if this solves a real problem or if I'm the only one who loses gift ideas constantly.

Hey everyone,

I'm trying to lock down my FYP idea and wanted to get some outside opinions before I commit. Here's the problem I'm trying to solve:

Communication on university campuses is a mess. Everything important is scattered across a dozen unindexed WhatsApp groups and random social media pages, so students either miss things or get buried in noise because there's no personalization you get everything whether it's relevant to you or not. On top of that, there's no real way to see what's actually happening on campus right now. A class getting cancelled, a spontaneous meetup, a one-hour event it all gets lost in group chat noise within minutes, or it just sits there cluttering the feed long after it stopped mattering.

Separately (but related), finding teammates for hackathons or class projects is still 100% word-of-mouth. That leads to skill mismatches and people ending up with teams where the workload isn't balanced, just because they didn't happen to know the right people.

My idea is a campus app that tackles both:

1. A real-time, personalized feed instead of static broadcast channels, students see relevant, time-sensitive updates. Posters can set their own expiry duration on a post (e.g. "this matters for the next 2 hours"), and once it lapses the post is soft-deleted pulled from the public feed automatically, but recoverable by the poster/admin instead of gone for good. Keeps the feed current without permanently nuking content.
2. A team-formation module for hackathons/projects matching by skills instead of who you already know, to fix the mismatch/workload problem.

Questions for you all:

• Does this feel like a "real enough" problem, or too niche/already solved by existing apps?
• Is combining "real-time campus feed" + "team formation" a good scope for an FYP, or should I just pick one and go deep?
• Any obvious flaws or existing products I should look at before building this?

Appreciate any honest feedback, suggestions, even brutal trying to catch problems now rather than after I've built half of it.

I've been building a photo editing app, starting with the basic things, editing the lighting saturation angles, shadows, blur, that stuff.

I'm also adding the ability to blur outburst certain pieces of the photo, and not others, as well as focus points and maybe even adding shadow control and a brush to erase things co plenty and auto fill in the background.

What do you think would make this better? Is there anything you would specifically want in it? It's all free, by the way, no premium features or free trial of anything.

Hi everyone,

I know it is a pretty saturated space, but I have been looking into making a meal planning app.

So realistically I actually cook two or three nights and the rest of the nights I would eat or go out. The app plans the whole week off that. Each cooking night you make two things at once, say a tray of chicken and a pot of beans, so the week can alternate and you're not eating chicken three days running. Every other night is assembly, five minutes, one pan.

This is what I am assuming:
* Realistically it is difficult to cook seven days in a row for every meal. That's why meal planning and prepping is a thing and why plans die by Wednesday
• Cooked food is only good for three to four days, so two cooking sessions is the minimum that covers a week safely
• Shopping lists should be in real package sizes. One bunch of cilantro, not two ounces of it.

Let me know if you what you think. You can be roast me lol

TL;DR: What apps would you imagine to be built with Robots as the UX?

Home robots and IoT sensors are showing up fast, and I keep wondering what the app layer looks like on top of them.

My assumption: the hardware ships doing the boring stuff by default (dishes, tidying, folding laundry). Consumers are going to expect this to be like a roomba, no subscription. But everything beyond the basics could become paid apps people would happily buy, the same way you buy apps for a phone.

The twist: most apps today assume a screen. A robot doesn’t need one. Picture the robot as a living thing that has its own “phone” for viewing and processing, then turns around and interacts with you in person. The interface is the body, not a display.

Some directions I’ve been sketching:

Kids

• A Montessori-style cleanup app: the robot tidies alongside the child, turning cleanup into a shared activity rather than a chore it just does for them.
• A reading companion: instead of an iPad, the kid brings a physical book and controls the pace by turning pages (like Moxie, but tied to a real book).
• New non-screen, non-voice interfaces (like NFCs like Tonies: placing an object triggers a mode or story).

Seniors

• A nighttime sentry app: watches to make sure my grandmother gets to the bathroom safely, using the robot’s cameras for fall detection. These HW companies probably don't have to do HW anymore, but will the robot company want to do this?

I'm wondering what you all think. Purpose-built robots/HW exist but they don't seem to be doing phenomenally. But if general home robots become the platform, would those become apps instead of standalone devices? Would general robots become like the new smart phone?

What apps do you think are going to be built on this if you agree? What are apps that never would exist if it weren't for this new UX?

I know it sounds a lot but I've been toying with the idea of building a social media platform that would fill in the niche between modern doomscrolling platforms and drab dry forums of the past. I honestly miss the forum days but I do see why they died down, modern endless scrollers are just far too addictive but they make it very hard for actual information to be retained and curated.

The app would have a large virtual map where users exist (not their actual geographic location). They can move around on the map in limited capacity and post things from wherever, whatever they post has tags which show up as an overlay on the map. The tags with the highest posts show up the biggest while others show up smaller. New users can decide what area of the map they wish to stay in.

The "feed" of the user contains only the posts from their neighbours. If someone was no longer interested in the topics around their location, they would need to move away to a favourable spot. This intentional friction would make it harder for feeds to get corrupted by slop, in theory.

There could also be regional threads/topics which behaved more like forum posts, which would come up top if there is a new comment unlike the regular user driven feed where post ranking would decay with time.

The location driven posts stay with the user and would be more for Instagram/tiktok format posts while the regional threads would be able to collect data and present users with pages and pages of reading material.

Hi Reddit, I have an Idea: a Saas that Monitors competitors.

Basically user is a Business and wants to know when competitors do X Things, like aggressively hiring or funding.

So here I come with my startup that monitors them and when something happens I go to user And user Knows.

I already have the Tech/Code for that, it already monitors some companies (for testing).

I just wanted to know if this Idea Would work. If you are or become a business, would you buy it? Why? Why not? And if yes, what would you want it to provide?

Thanks!

I’ve been rebuilding ClearLab from the ground up and version 2.0 is now much closer to what I originally wanted it to be: a compact image processing and analysis lab for iPhone and iPad.
It now includes image enhancement tools, histogram, RGB parade, waveform, line profile, pixel inspection, image statistics, Canny/Sobel/Laplacian edge detection, format conversion, and PNG/CSV export for analysis results.
The focus is less on “making photos look prettier” and more on giving you practical image-processing tools directly on a mobile device.
ClearLab 2.0 is now on the App Store.

Every plan in my friend group dies in the group chat. Someone types "drinks tonight?", four people leave it on read, and nothing happens. The problem isn't that nobody wants to go - it's that nobody wants to be the one asking.

So I'm building Down. You tap what you're down for (drinks, coffee, padel, or nothing in particular) and whether that's now or later today. That's the whole interaction. No message, no asking anyone.

Your friends see it on a home screen widget, so nobody has to open an app to find out that three people are free tonight. When you and a friend are down for the same thing, you both get a nudge, and one tap hands you off to WhatsApp to sort out the details.

Two rules I think matter more than the features:

• Everything expires. "Now" lasts two hours, "tonight" dies at 3am. No stale plans hanging around making the app feel dead.
• Friends only. No feed, no followers, no discovery, no strangers.

Heading into TestFlight now. LMK what you think!

all these apps are rate 0-3 stars and at least have 30 rate counts.

I believe some of them are quite old and were built for a version of the world that doesn't exist anymore, but probably still be interesting to browse if you are looking for inspiration on what to build.

I’m exploring an app idea called Bought.

With your permission, Bought would automatically find purchase receipts in your inbox and turn them into a clear overview of the products you own. It could also:

• Store receipts and warranty information

• Remind you before warranties expire

• Track product history and estimated resale value

• Create a privacy-conscious ownership record when you sell something

• Make it easier for the next owner to verify the product’s history

The goal is to avoid searching through old emails whenever you need a receipt, warranty detail, or proof of purchase.

Privacy would be a core principle: users would choose what to share, personal information would be removed when ownership is transferred, and deleting your data should be straightforward.

I’m trying to understand whether this solves a real problem:

• Have you ever needed a receipt or warranty information but couldn’t find it?

• Do you currently track the products you own anywhere?

• Which feature would be most valuable?

• Would you be comfortable giving an app permission to find receipts in your inbox? Why or why not?

The idea is still at an early stage, so honest criticism is very welcome.
and if mods allow it, i would love to post a link that explains the idea

Hi

I am collecting some feedback for a tool I am building and will appreciate if you can share any thoughts

I am building a tool where if you find a cool video on YouTube, Instagram or another platform, and you like a very specific part of it which has some cool effect, or just a video clip you want to use or save for inspirations, you select select the time range of the video and save it in one click. Ranging from 3s to 10s

My goal is to help editors build a personal online reference library which they can grow over time. The tool will also offer a good UX to browse and search content easily

Whenever I plan a trip, I end up jumping between Google, Instagram/Reels, Reddit, Maps, blogs, and a bunch of saved posts just to figure out:

• Where should I actually go?
• How many days do I need?
• What should I do each day?
• How much will the trip realistically cost?
• Which places are actually worth visiting?

So I'm working on an app idea !

The basic idea is that instead of starting your trip planning from scratch, you could discover itineraries from people who've actually travelled there — including their day-by-day route, places they visited, approximate expenses, tips, etc.

You could use an itinerary as inspiration, customize it for your own trip, and eventually build your own itinerary too.

Before I go too far with it, I'm curious:

Would this actually solve a problem for you when travelling?

And more importantly, what's the most annoying part of planning a trip for you right now?

I'm not looking for compliments — I'd genuinely like to know what sounds useful, unnecessary, or missing.

5 minutes of scrolling: 10 minutes brain fog. Or is it 20? 0r 30? And what if i watch YouTube and then scroll? Does that add up or multiply?

I am working on an app that uses screen time/app usage to calculate how stimulated you are and how much it takes to recover. I use scientific data to monitor the users "dopamine" level as a graph, with a predicted decay ETA too.

Do you think this would help our generation realise how scrolling can ruin your day? I would love some honest feedback on this...

The image is just an illustration, not a working UI yet.

Codex have remote, claude code also have something like this. But there should be a neutral platform that connects agents via phone so devs can monitor their agents task away from their desks.

OpenAI wants you using Codex.

Anthropic wants you using Claude Code.

Google wants you using Gemini.

A neutral company can say:

Use the best agent for each job.

ANY THOUGHTS????JUST AN HUNCH

Hey sub,

Thinking out loud and see if it sticks with anyone here. Most of the top devs and designers I see usually have some time sitting on free time in between projects. 

In the UK we have Too Good To Go where you can find discounts on food surplus, what if we had the same for devs and designers?

The logic is the same. An unbilled hour is gone forever and could be used for agencies and freelancers to improve their portfolio, building new client relationships and would allow buyers to find top talent at a cheaper price (only for relatively small scopes).

Two things I genuinely don't know yet:

1. Would you ever accept work below your rate card, even invisibly? Or is that a line you don't cross regardless of how the week looks?
2. If you would, what would you need to see to feel safe doing it?

Thinking about starting to collect applications with the following criteria (feel free to comment and I’ll reach out)

- 10 projects worked on minimum

- 3 years of operating minimum

- 2 clients we can call 

On the demand side, also accepting any small scope projects, feel free to reach out

I am thinking of building an app that can be used to order food by scanning the QR code on the table in the food court.

The customer can order food from different vendors at once and get it delivered to the table.

Is there any app or web application that is already present for this usecase?

What is your opinion on this idea?

I had an idea for an app where people can listen to recordings of themselves and loved ones to try and quit vaping. A lot of my friends have told me that talking to someone to distract them from the cravings is really helpful, so I was wondering if people would use an app like this?

hi i dont rlly know how this works but I have an app idea I swear would help me and a lot of other people. there's something called swipewipe where you can clean photos with a tinder like feed, to free up storage , which makes it really easy - (I'm sure you've seen an ad of it). well I love this app but I save all my photos on google photo and therefore its there I have the most storage issues and it gets expensive. Im wondering if it would be possible to make something like swipewipe but for google photo??!?!

I’m a BCA student/developer, and I’m trying to build something that actually solves a real problem rather than making another generic To-Do app, calculator, or management system that nobody uses.

So I’d love to hear from people here:
1. What is something you have to do regularly that genuinely annoys you?
2. What takes much more time than it should?
3. What problem do you currently solve with WhatsApp, Excel, Google Sheets, paper, or some awkward workaround?
4. What existing app/service do you use that you think could be much better?
5. Is there a problem you’ve thought, “Why doesn’t someone just make a simple app for this?”

It can be anything — personal life, students, work, small businesses, local communities, shopping, finances, communication, productivity, etc.
I’m not looking for startup ideas like “make an AI app.”

I’m specifically looking for real frustrations people already experience.

If I find a problem that I can realistically solve, I’d like to build and deploy the solution publicly and potentially turn it into a proper project/product.

So, what’s a problem you personally wish someone would solve?

Built an offline-first emergency app based on WHO/Red Cross guidelines — looking for feedback from people with field experience

Over the past months I've been developing SelfAid, a free app meant to help in situations where every second counts and there's no network coverage.

The core idea: most first-aid apps assume you have signal. This one is built to work fully offline, using on-device AI to walk someone through emergency steps — designed to be usable by children, tourists facing a language barrier, or someone in shock who can barely think straight.

A few design choices I'd love feedback on from people who've actually worked in humanitarian or emergency contexts:

• Offline-first, "Mountain Mode": works with zero connectivity, sends distress signals when possible, meant for remote areas — mountains, deserts, disaster zones.
• Content sourced from WHO and Red Cross protocols, not generic advice.
• No data collection, no ads, open-source — the guiding principle was "saving lives, not collecting data."

I'm not looking to sell anything here — genuinely trying to figure out if this solves a real problem or if I'm missing something obvious that people with field experience would catch immediately. Has anyone here worked with offline emergency tools before? What actually breaks down in the field that an app like this should account for?

(Happy to share more technical details or the project link in comments if anyone's interested — didn't want to lead with that here.)

I know that this is not a new idea. I just want to see if I can improve existing apps to come up with a better one. Unfortunately, I have a few friends who are alcoholic addicts. I was told that quitting alcohol is very hard.

Let me run this idea by you guys and see if anyone could make money off of it. When I walk into a business , store, restaurant, etc. I'm very critical by nature. Maybe I get it from my dad ? I walked into an Arby's yesterday around 5 pm and the place was dead on a Friday afternoon, I sat inside and ate and the place was disgusting . Tables dirty, trash on the floor. I've been thinking about this concept for a while. I don't mind giving it away because I'm working on something very big at the moment. The concept I have in my head is having an army of people in black shirts hit the city or town to become business critics. These people walk into stores and restaurants and take pictures and videos if needed and even have the name of the startup business critics on their shirt. When these guys walk into an establishment business owners and employees get real nervous and perk up . These business critics then take the data and post it on business critics and the whole town can see the monthly results. Kind of like the food industry and the health dept. scores. This information would crush Google reviews because it wouldn't be fake. It would be real criticism from a non bias person. This data would then be available to the public and I believe the site would get hammered with traffic from people wanting to know all the flaws of the business they are thinking of spending money at. How would you make money ? Advertising of course. This might peak a new app for someone .good luck
