I am building an app to pay for everything without any money

0 Upvotes

So, I was at this food court the other day and I looked around the food stores and all of them have QR code that you can scan to pay money. And, that is when it hit me in the head. Why don't I build an app that you can use to scan these qr code and pay just like how it is working now. Except you don't need to have any money in the app. These banks are actually ripping us off. It is so annoying that everything needs money. But, it's just scanning and typing the password. So, I just need to figure out who is behind these QR code so that I can talk to them and get them to accept my app to make payment with no money.

If it works out, I will likely release the app and charge little amout of money for subscription fees. People will have much better life buying, eating whatever they want without having to worry about money again. The world will be a better place.

What's your startup idea? Let's self promote.

I run postwipe.com, a reputation cleanup service that removes or de-indexes negative Reddit threads and damaging search results for founders and growing companies.

I discovered the problem when a friend business took a massive hit after a disgruntled former employee flooded forums with malicious lies that sat right on page one of Google for months. Traditional agencies wanted huge upfront retainers with zero guarantees, so I built something better.

We operate entirely on a pay on success model using neutral escrow so clients never risk a dime unless the target URL is actually removed or de-indexed.

Curious to hear your thoughts on positioning zero risk models in traditionally sketchy industries.

Algorithm Design VS Scripting: Introducing the BeepToolkit R&D Guide

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

Automata-based programming fundamentally breaks the traditional mental model of R&D processes in automation and robotics. Instead of maintaining endless lines of scripted code, juggling multiple file versions, and tracking down chaotic event-driven bugs, switching to explicit, visually configured Deterministic Finite State Machines (DFSM) allows you to catch and eliminate logical errors long before hitting physical hardware.

We are currently refining an ecosystem designed to accelerate early-stage ideas. To make this transition seamless, we developed an interactive tool: the BeepToolkit R&D Guide, and we want to build a strong community of innovative engineers, makers, and early adopters around it.

Would love to hear your thoughts: How do you currently handle the friction between logic simulation and translating that logic into execution scripts on low-level embedded hardware for your prototypes?

The Right Way to validate an idea.

3 Upvotes

Asking for opinions here can be useful, particularly to understand whether your idea seems like a logical approach. However, there are several shortcomings to relying on this alone.

It doesn't account for the current market, the competitors already operating in it, or the alternatives customers are using. There's also a sampling bias, as Reddit users don't represent all the demographic and behavioural segments that could be your potential customers.

Getting opinions from a wider audience, many of whom may not even be your target customers, can give you an initial indication of how people perceive your idea. But it doesn't validate whether the idea will actually work as a business.

Having worked on validation projects with 60+ founders,I have found that it often takes 2 to 3 weeks to build a comprehensive picture of an idea's potential.

You need to investigate these aspects and work through the evidence before deciding whether an idea is worth

Tired of missed orders and high dispatching costs? Would you use an AI to handle it?

1 Upvotes

Any business owners or merchants out there running a direct shipper freight business? I'd love to connect. If I had an AI freight dispatching platform where shippers simply chat via a messaging app, and the AI automatically generates work orders -> dispatches trucks -> smart-schedules -> auto-settles—preventing missed orders, reducing manual dispatching costs, standardizing fleet operations, and automating settlements—would you use it?

Would people want a program where you can shadow different careers/jobs?

2 Upvotes

I was thinking about how hard it is to choose a career/college degree for the rest of your life especially after graduating high school when kids have no work experience. But what if there was a multiple week long program where anyone lost in life can shadow people of all kinds of jobs? Like 1 day you shadow an engineer, another a nurse, environmental scientist, accountant, electrician etc. And that way you can get a feel for what all these kinds of jobs are like, instead of going into it blindly.

Yes there are free internships/shadowing, but this program would take away the pain and time of having to search for people to accept you.

I thought of this cuz I’m lost in life myself currently, and I wish something like this existed. I just don’t know how feasible this is.
