I wrote over 300 ideas down https://github.com/samsquire/ideas https://github.com/samsquire/ideas https://github.com/samsquire/ideas2 https://github.com/samsquire/ideas2 https://github.com/samsquire/ideas3 https://github.com/samsquire/ideas3 https://github.com/samsquire/ideas4 https://github.com/samsquire/ideas4 (incomplete) I've emailed them and I am interested in donating to see what interesting projects people shall come up with. I am interested in distributed systems, parallelism, data structures, algorithms, database architecture. I like the idea of a compiler that exposes its pipeline as a website that people can write materialized views over. Static analysis and optimisation crowdsourced. Like compiler explorer. If you represent your mappings as algebra then you can find equivalent plans like a cost based optimiser in a database. Ideas4 has data structure ideas.

Thanks for sharing. I read some of the ideas and I had some similar ones. Which is a nice feeling, as in OK I am not the only one thinking that! I will have a good read of more if yours when you get time, and maybe make my own public list. I have a private one but it is pretty short at the moment due to bad discipline in writing them down. They are private more because of inarticulate-ness than secrecy.

  If you published your ideas today and posted a reply to them I would read them all and share my ideas in reaction to your ideas and my thoughts on them. So I would really find that exciting. If you like idea sharing you might enjoy halfbakery.com and http://o2oo.io/ http://o2oo.io/

I would edit that list down if I were you. I found some reasonable ideas but 90% of them are obviously bad or vague ideas or already exist (unsurprising since there are 300 of them!). Quality over quantity!

  I am obviously sad that you don't think my ideas are good. If you posted your ideas I would happily read them and share my reaction to them and my ideas in reaction to them. For free no less. Nothing that exists that I have described works how I want. So that's why I have my GitHub projects to try bring them into being.

    Yeah I remember half bakery! Great site. Here's my best idea: phone cameras should all have square sensors and record the entire sensor, but display just landscape or portrait. That way you can choose the aspect ratio after shooting. Kind of blows me away how much people complain about portrait videos but nobody has implemented this obvious solution. There have been cameras that take square photos - e.g. the Snapchat glasses, but they restrict you to square aspect ratios and I'm pretty sure they actually use a cropped rectangular image.

      That's a good idea. When it comes to photos it's so difficult to find photos. When I witness someone trying to find a photo on their phone they scroll down the list of photos for what seems forever. I am sure there's a way of searching photos and indexing them so they're easier to find.
