Ask HN: What do you want to see built?
By some weird circumstances, I ended up with 5 whole days to kill and nothing else to do. Instead of a netflix binge, I want to do something productive.
What itch/problem do you want to see go away or what solution do you want to see built ?
or to put it in reverse, if you had 5 days, what would you build ?
- seveibar 7y agoAn IDE/code editor for E-ink displays.
- craig 7y agoI really want to switch to e-ink but last time I checked there weren't any good sized screens. Anyone doing this successfully?
- AlexDragusin 7y agoA simple game where you get to kill time :)
- Tomte 7y agoA successor to par2 that works cross-platform, is maintained, works with UTF-8, works with directories, works with thousands of files, and is a single binary. I don't care about the specific code, Reed-Solomon, LDPC, whatever, just something to easily shield my files from bit-rot (aka soft errors). pyFileFixity, rsbep, par2, par3, QuickPar, MultiPar etc. are not the solution.
- brwr 7y agoAn intuitive, intelligent performance debugging tool that works for any programming language. A similar tool that finds common errors like race conditions, missing null checks, etc.
- gitgud 7y agoMost people here would only suggest things that they couldn't build, otherwise they'd probably build it themselves. It might be better to look inward... Find a pain in your life and try to build something to reduce that pain So, maybe a site to find/submit projects to build?
- Jack000 7y agojust saw this app on the front page https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21013117 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21013117 not sure if it's been made yet, but it occurred to me that a much better version can be made now with on-device ML based OCR. Clearly there's a large user demand.
