1) Payment receipts/tax software Here's a pain: If I own a small business, I need something where I can forward all my payment receipts (GitHub, Constant Contact, web hosting, etc), tag it, parse it and at the end of the month/year/tax season, see where my money went. Great for taxes too because I always end up having to go back and add it all up myself. I know Mint can do this but I don't need all that bank crawling nonsense, I just wanna forward receipts to an email address (maybe using a Google filter to automate the process), and be able to view the numbers in some concise dashboard. BTW, if someone knows of any solution out there I'm missing, let me know 'cause this is a pain of mine. 2) Image resizing as a service. It can be a small pain to resize images using ImageMagick (installing it can be a headache), or any third party solutions. If the price is affordable, I wouldn't mind paying for image resizing as a service, image overlaying, or watermarking as a service. Maybe make it a few cent per API call.

Image resizing seems to be an easy-to-implement idea. App Engine + Stripe + A Good API can do the trick. Will get to work on it! Receipt tagging is a different beast. The format is inconsistent, mining data would be difficult and I don't know if people would be willing to send potentially sensitive details of business transactions to anyone. But I'm up for it given it has a substantial market. Any other takers?

  When I worked on a custom CMS the killer feature (according to clients) was the ability to upload and resize images (which they can then insert to their text) in just a few seconds. If you make a service, with an API and wrappers/scripts for common CMSs I think you can get some money out of that.
