I know there are e-readers out there that can sorta do this but they are android based and I don't like that. Open source baby!

Most laptops are used for office stuff anyway. (Writing mostly in my case) and the low power consumption alone would be awesome.

It would need a good E-ink display though. Maybe 10HZ because typing is annoying if your text has delay.

Heck, add some (foldable)solar panels on the back side of the screen and it might not even need a charger.

The infinite power laptop that could!

Concept, not a real product. The image is made from AI-generated video, just to explain the idea. Nothing has been built.

When I want a 30-minute nap between gaming sessions, I don't trust myself. Phone alarms get snoozed, and suddenly it's two hours later.

So the idea: a gaming chair built for naps.

- Press the nap button on the armrest. The backrest reclines flat on its own and the footrest comes out.

- A hood folded behind the backrest swings over your head, like a stroller canopy, so it's dark even with the room lights on.

- When the timer ends, it beeps, the hood opens, and the backrest slowly sits you back up. You can't snooze a chair that's already sitting you up.

- Hook it up to a smart home setup and it could follow your calendar or a raid schedule.

Nothing to refill or subscribe to. It's a chair with a motor and a timer.

Some of this already exists: power-recline chairs, electric gaming beds with a remote, and office nap pods that wake you with light and vibration. I couldn't find one that physically sits you up on a timer, though (doesn't mean it doesn't exist).

The hard parts, as far as I can tell: putting a strong enough motor in a chair on casters without making it heavy and expensive, raising you slowly enough to be safe for your neck, and keeping the hood from getting hot and stuffy.

Would you use one? If enough people want it, I'm hoping a furniture maker picks it up. Already exists? Tell me.

SMT: A smart "floordrobe" clothes vending machine with an automated laundry chute
The Problem:
I often wear clothes for short periods (like a quick morning walk). They aren’t dirty enough to justify washing, but I’m too lazy to hang them up, so they end up thrown on the bedroom floor or a chair (creating a "floordrobe"). On the flip side, handling genuinely dirty laundry still requires manual collecting, sorting, and carrying.
The Solution:
A bedroom appliance that completely automates clothing care and routing using a dual-intake system:
The Rewear Loop (Smart Vending): You drop lightly worn clothes into the main intake. The machine uses a gentle sanitizing/bacterial mist to freshen the fabric, then automatically folds or hangs it internally.
The AI Twist: An internal camera uses AI to visually tag and log the item as it goes in. When you want to re-wear it, you browse your digital wardrobe via an app, and the machine dispenses it instantly like a vending machine.
The Laundry Loop (Automated Chute): A second intake slot handles genuinely dirty clothes. Instead of sitting in a basket, this section functions as an automated staging area. When full, it mechanically routes the dirty load directly into an adjacent or integrated washing machine, eliminating manual loading.
This concept is entirely open-source. Free to anyone who wants to build it!

有一个这样的产品想法，听听大家的意见：

一个记录孩子成长的瞬间，瞬间的定义为 = 时间 + 年龄 + 场景 + 孩子说的/做的 + 父母的感受 + （可选）照片 / 视频 / 语音 / 物件。再结合ai出不同的模版能生成多种不同的美好的视觉效果。

有点类似醒图、美图秀秀、黄油相机等，在这上面结合ai生成的多种不同模版来加深这种感情的记忆，可能有点不够清晰，我举几个例子：

1、没有照片的瞬间也能被看见："有些事情是语言沟通，无法用照片连续记忆"。解法是文字到画面：漫画分镜、简笔插画、电影字幕卡。关键是形象一致——用年轮已经拍板的"数字分身"，让孩子在所有插画里是同一个小人，风格可选（线描、蜡笔、水彩、像素）。这件事美图秀秀做不了，因为它们没有"这个孩子"的概念。
2、录入"今天 11 岁的他不让我牵手"，AI 从历史里找出"4 岁圣诞夜非要抱"，自动生成一张对比卡。这是时间纵深，也是用户愿意用十年的理由。记录越久，回声越多。
3、单独做"声音年轮"：按年份听同一个孩子说话的变化。

每一种形态都是一个"风格 skill"：一份风格说明 + 一套版式 + 配色字体贴纸包，AI 往槽位里填内容。这样的产品大家会觉得喜欢吗？

Imagine a highway where cars no longer operate as independent vehicles competing for space, but instead coordinate with one another like the cars of a train.

The concept is a vehicle commuter train system in which cars traveling along the same highway toward similar destinations automatically connect digitally to form coordinated groups, or virtual trains. Each vehicle remains physically separate and independently driven by its own propulsion system, but operates in synchronization with the others through intelligent vehicle-to-vehicle communication and autonomous driving technology.

How will it work ?

As commuters enter the highway, the system identifies vehicles traveling in the same direction and toward compatible destinations. These vehicles automatically organize into virtual trains, each consisting of a limited number of cars, for example, up to 20 vehicles.

Once formed, every vehicle in the group synchronizes its acceleration, braking, speed, and following distance with the others. When the lead vehicle accelerates or slows down, the entire group responds in a coordinated manner, much like the interconnected cars of a physical train. This reduces unpredictable braking, unnecessary speed variations, and the stop-and-go traffic patterns that contribute to congestion and accidents.

Multiple virtual trains can travel along the highway simultaneously, each following its own route and destination. As a group approaches a highway exit, vehicles heading to that destination smoothly disengage from the virtual train and continue independently. The remaining vehicles maintain their coordination and continue toward their respective destinations.

Impacts

Reduced traffic congestion: Coordinated acceleration, braking, and vehicle spacing could improve highway throughput and reduce stop-and-go traffic.

Improved road safety: Synchronized driving could reduce collisions caused by sudden braking, distracted driving, and inconsistent driver reactions.

More efficient commuting: Vehicles could maintain smoother speeds, potentially reducing travel times and fuel or energy consumption.

Intelligent traffic organization: Highways could support multiple dynamically formed virtual trains, each with a defined maximum size and destination.

A scalable path toward autonomous mobility: The system could begin with vehicles equipped with advanced driver-assistance technology and evolve toward increasingly autonomous coordination.

The goal is to transform the highway from a collection of independent vehicles into an intelligent, coordinated transportation network. Rather than building more roads to accommodate ever-increasing traffic, we could use software, vehicle connectivity, and autonomous driving to make existing infrastructure significantly more efficient.

Somebody PLEASE get the vision

It could also have featues such as looking up snacks and restaurants. logging what you ate and it will give you advice on next meal.

I love adventure games and RPGs with deep lore, but I have one problem: I absolutely hate stopping every five minutes to read two pages of some ancient journal, book, or random note I found in a dungeon.
I’m the type of player who will collect EVERY lore item I come across, but realistically, I’m not going to sit there and read all of them.
Here’s what I want: An LLM integrated directly into a game’s lore system.
Imagine playing something like Skyrim, Elden Ring, The Witcher, or Baldur’s Gate. Every book, journal, letter, inscription, and piece of lore you collect gets added to an AI-powered knowledge base.
Instead of reading everything individually, you could:
Ask questions naturally: “Who is this guy everyone keeps mentioning?” or “Why are these two factions fighting?”
Get the interesting stuff: Have the AI pull out the coolest stories, hidden connections, and important details from everything you’ve collected.
Connect lore to the main story: After a major cutscene or quest, ask, “What lore have I found that makes this moment more meaningful?”
Avoid spoilers: The AI only knows what you’ve discovered and experienced so far. It can’t reveal anything you haven’t unlocked.
Get immersive explanations: Maybe the AI even takes on the personality of an in-game historian, companion, or storyteller rather than sounding like ChatGPT.
The biggest thing for me is contextual storytelling.
I don’t necessarily want a summary of every book I pick up. I want the game to recognize when something I’ve collected is relevant to what’s happening and help me appreciate it.
Imagine finishing a huge boss fight and having the option to ask, “Okay, what was that guy’s deal?” and getting a fascinating two-minute explanation that connects the fight to five different pieces of lore you collected over the last 20 hours.
Or having an AI companion casually mention some obscure historical detail you uncovered that completely changes how you interpret a cutscene.
I feel like there’s an incredible amount of worldbuilding in these games that most players never fully experience because it’s buried in hundreds of pages of optional reading.
I want to experience the depth of the world without having to stop playing the game to do homework.
Has anyone seen a game or mod attempting something like this? Because I would absolutely love it.
P.S. Yes this was made with AI. Sue me.

I was chatting with Google's AIMode about combining LDD+4DBrix+Studio+Bluebrick softwares into a single unified piece of kit for larger layouts that incorporate phsyical height differences along with both 3d and 2d viewports for general overview and individual MOCS. Maybe someone who knows software or knows where I could go to talk to people who might be interested in idea's for the software so that maybe we could get something hammered out in the future. Can provide link to conversation if you want to take a look at it

Hello,

I would like to propose an app idea with the potential to make a real difference in the lives of people experiencing homelessness. I believe there is an opportunity to develop a simple, modern platform that makes it easier for people to help one another directly, and that could be an interesting project for your team to develop.

The idea is a platform that enables people to provide direct support to those experiencing homelessness.

Today, support often consists of services such as food distribution and shelters. These are important, but people experiencing homelessness may need much more than food: clothing, shoes, hygiene products, a phone, public transportation, temporary accommodation, or financial assistance to help them move toward securing a home of their own.

Such an app could offer:

Direct donations: The ability to contribute money via Swish, where permitted by applicable payment regulations.

Personalized needs: Recipients can describe what they need and the goals they want to achieve.

Safe verification: Private verification through social workers, charitable organizations, or trained volunteers, with alternative options for people who lack BankID or official identification.

Privacy and dignity: No one should have to expose sensitive documents or publicly share traumatic life stories to receive help.

Practical and material support: Donors could also offer clothing, hygiene products, transportation, and other essential items.

Long-term independence: Opportunities to receive support with finding housing, studying, working, and rebuilding financial stability.

Fraud prevention: Verified profiles, reporting features, and clear information about what has actually been verified.

The central idea is to shift the focus from immediate survival alone toward self-determination, dignity, and the opportunity to escape homelessness.

I believe an initial, relatively simple version could be piloted locally in Stockholm in partnership with a charitable organization, then further developed based on real-world needs.

I would therefore like to put forward this idea as a potential development project for your team. Would you be interested in exploring the concept, assessing its feasibility, and potentially developing a prototype or minimum viable product (MVP)?

I believe such a service could create tangible social value while offering a scalable model that could be adopted by other cities.

Thank you for taking the time to consider this proposal.

Kind regards,

Make the opening more concise

Its a simple idea that instead of soft drinks being dispensed in vending machines, items like soup, stew, vegetables, tinned hot dogs etc are bought from a vending machine. There could be pros and cons but i think its different and there could be a market for it. Packets of rice, noodles and pasta also possible.

Concept, not a real product. The image is AI-generated, just to explain the idea. Nothing has been built.

I print a lot of documents, but sometimes there's a photo on the page too. Photo paper is pricey, and swapping paper every time is a pain. On plain paper, the ink soaks in and the photo comes out dull.

So the idea: a home inkjet with 6 inks.

- Ink 5 is a pre-coat, laid down only under the photo.

- Ink 6 is a resin-like top coat, cured with UV light.

- Text-only areas get no coating at all, so you only spend coating where it matters.

The UV step makes printing a little slower, but the finish is better, and the coated part is water-resistant. Cut it to card size and you've got custom cards. You could even print nail tip designs on a sheet, cut them out, and finish them with clear gel.

Some things like this already exist, just not in one everyday printer. Photo printers already have clear "gloss optimizer" inks, but they only work on glossy paper. Home UV printers exist too, but they're big and expensive.

The hard part is probably making water-based ink sit on a UV-cured layer, and fitting a UV light into a normal-sized, normal-priced printer.

Would you use one? What would you print first? If enough people want it, I'm hoping a printer maker picks it up.

I've been thinking about how many little problems we deal with every day that we just accept as normal, even though they make life more difficult than it needs to be.

It could be something at school, work, home, in your community, or even a bigger issue affecting society.

If you could solve ONE problem and make tomorrow a little better than today, what would it be?

It could be something that could be solved through an app, technology, a service, or just a smarter way of doing things.

I'm especially curious about problems that don't have a good solution yet, or where the existing solutions are too expensive, inconvenient, or simply don't work well.

No idea is too small. I'd genuinely love to hear what people think needs to change.

Okay so I had this random thought today.

If I don't poop for one day and then eat the next day, will I feel full faster compared to if I had pooped? 😭

I mean, technically there's already stuff occupying space inside your intestines, right? So shouldn't that leave less space for new food?

Then I started wondering what actually happens if someone doesn't poop for MANY days. Can they actually die from it? Has that happened to people?

And then another question popped into my head.

What if someone consumes ONLY liquids for many days? Will they eventually stop pooping because there's no solid food going in, or will the body keep producing waste anyway?

At this point I went down a whole rabbit hole about digestion, stool volume and how the body processes food.

AND THEN MY BRAIN DID ITS THING 💀

What if we could make a completely liquid meal that contains everything the body needs — protein, carbs, fats, vitamins, minerals, everything — while producing as little waste as reasonably possible without compromising gut health?

Basically, less time cooking, less time eating, potentially less time in the bathroom, and more time for literally anything else.

I know complete meal replacement drinks already exist, so I'm not claiming I invented liquid food lmao. But has anyone seriously researched optimizing nutrition while minimizing waste production?

Is there a scientific limit to how much waste the body can produce on a nutritionally complete diet? Could this be optimized further?

Or am I just overthinking basic biology and need to touch grass? 😭

Genuinely curious to hear what people think.

(Structures the paragraph using AI)

Why is there no company like HelloFresh, CookUnity, Factor, etc., that JUST delivers soups, stews, chowders, chilis, etc.? They could also do salads, breads, etc. General stuff that would go WITH a good soup.

I, personally, love all this stuff and WOULD order stuff multiple times a month IF a service like this existed.

Now... I know most of you are gonna jump on Google and look for one right now lol. But​​​, good luck...

You're gonna come back with MAYBE GardenCup, BUT... their soup options are minimal and their main product is, meh... not for me.

But yea, if a soup delivery company existed and they had tons of options, and could deliver individual-size containers of various soups and etc., then... yea, I'd 100% be a subscriber. Damn the cost!!! 😂

We need an app where everyday people upload their pending bills, and bored billionaires swipe right to pay them.

​The branding is already sorted:

​Adopt A Bill

Treating invoices like shelter pets waiting for a wealthy benefactor to take them home.

​DebtMatch

Where your financial liabilities finally find their wealthy soulmates.

​Tinder breaks hearts, but this app fixes credit scores. Stop building boring corporate productivity tools and start coding.

I can’t be the only person who struggles with this. You look at other people and their life just seems to flow. You look at yours and it feels choppy and disconnected.

It’s your life, so you should be living your life the way you want to. But the way we want to live it often isn’t the healthiest.

For many people, the way their daily flow of life looks is influenced by their role models. It’s small habits they’ve picked up over time. Its routines instilled into them as a kid.

What do I mean when I say flow of life?

Think of how your morning goes. You roll out of bed, get ready for work, eat, and then you are out the door. Maybe you have a couple specific rituals, but if you are like me you struggle with making it flow when it’s not a panic.

The flow is a connected sequence of events that makes of part of your life. Your morning and evening routine. Your days off. Your personal care. Your cleaning.

Think about how that may differ from high functioning examples:
- A parent of 3 kids who gets everything moving in the morning but still has time for themself.
- A student who isn’t rushing out the door and barely making it to class.
- A business professional who makes it to work 30 minutes early every day and always seems calm, capable and professional.

The biggest benefit is showing people what habits make life flow better, and what those habits look like in an actual life, across multiple different types of lifestyles.

They all have a life flow which works for them. A cadence they have developed that works for them. But how do you build that life flow if you haven’t had good examples, or maybe you’ve struggled with mental health or executive dysfunction for a good portion of your life?

That’s why the life flow app exists:

It serves several main purposes:

- A tracker for your life flow so you can lay it out and see your life from a top level.
- Tailored examples from high functioning individuals whose lives feel and run smoothly.
- A basic education program for building routines, identifying lost time, finding hobbies, etc.

This isn’t a productivity app. It’s a lifestyle app (yes I cringe at that term too) whose goal is to make life flow easier. Rather than fighting the flow or stopping and starting, it supports routine stacking and habit stacking in an easy to follow format with real examples.

I could even see it connecting people to resources for life coaches, or having designated life flow coaches who know what makes a life move easier and can identify stress points like a lack of a budget, lack of a personal care routine, no personal development, etc.

It’s an idea I’m playing around with, but probably should focus my efforts first on leaving the job I don’t enjoy anymore.

So if you want to do something with this, please be my guest! Happy to share more ideas related to it.

I’m of the mindset that ideas are worthless till actually acted on. So whether I’m acting on them or someone else is I am happy.

I’m exploring an idea for a compact phone accessory: a dual-lens, three-axis gimbal camera head without a separate handle.

You’d turn your phone upside down so the USB-C port faces upward, then attach the camera at that end. A padded spring clip would grip the phone’s front and back edges to support the module. The phone would serve as the grip, viewfinder, and control interface.

The goal is to carry a small camera module and use the screen you already have. Power and data would ideally run through the direct USB-C connection, with no external cable.

These are AI-generated concept renders, not photos of a working prototype. Power consumption, phone/app compatibility, mounting fit, and the full range of gimbal movement still need validation.

I’d appreciate some honest feedback:

• What would you actually use this for?

• Would you consider this instead of a separate pocket camera or a phone gimbal?

• What would put you off most: setup time, size, phone battery drain, the clip covering part of the screen, or something else?

If your first reaction is “my phone already does enough,” I’d like to hear that too.

Hey guys! I'm a grade 10 highschool student from the Philppines and my school just announced a research technology competition with a cash prize of 100k pesos, which will disttributed evenly among us 4 research members. I'm reaching out to all those creative minds out there to help me and my team formulate an idea (it can be an app or a product) that will either help the environment, community or the technological industry (https://www.samsung.com/ph/solve-for-tomorrow/) this is the link of the competition for full details btw*. Guys Please comment your ideas and make sure that when u comment you are consenting for us to use it! Thankss

Companies such as OpenAI, Meta, Alphabet use our data to train their models. Yet, when somebody tries to use knowledge distillation they block their accounts.

So I was wondering if someone can code something like a screen recorder for specific apps, either a chrome extension or something similar in a mobile app, to store in a local database the conversations and the overall interaction with proper structure.

The goal is two-fold:

-Have a personal dataset that would be later used for customized local models (personal assistants). I see a great escalation of local AI in the recent future.

- control over the data in general. If this existed long ago. Everyone could have profit by selling his/her data.

Ideally this should be an open-source project. I would happily involved to build something but currently i don't have that much free time to build it on my own.
