Other stuff: - All text editors on android suck. My god they suck so much. Create something like Editorial, and you have my money. - Not sure of it exists - betting website. Allow people to deposit money and make small bets. Make it convenient for reddit users, so when 2 people are arguing they could bet on a thing and see what will happen. Or target it to fanfiction readers, to bet on what will happen in the following chapters(would be super useful for /r/HPMOR) - Website - a collection of ways to make people's lives weirder. Something like pranks, or ways to mess with people's heads, but harmless, funny, and innocent. Stuff that Harry from HPMOR does. - Use ML and CV and image recognition to do something cool with google maps. It's just an interesting idea, use CV to analyze google maps data. - Subreddit recommendation engine. Based on your likes and subscriptions. Like on imdb. - gitter for subreddits. Connect a subreddit to a chat. - HN-lore. There are some links that are submitted to HN regularly, and every 6 months new people discover them. Great stories people here like sharing, articles, books, etc. Create a ranked list of HN folklore and traditions. - Automatically compile my HN, reddit, other social media posts into a blog-like post feed. - Crowdsourcing and crowdfunding for movies and animation projects. It would be a big kill-Hollywood kind of startup, not sure about how to make this at all, but we should turn movie industry into a github/reddit-like thing. Just a dream I guess.

Use ML and CV and image recognition to do something cool with google maps. It's just an interesting idea, use CV to analyze google maps data. As someone working with something vaguely related to this sort of thing. Let me just say, use Open Street Maps. Google mapping data and the licensing thereof is a huge pain and often straight up impossible. Don't lock yourself into developing something for a platform where you will be forbidden from selling or even distributing the fruits of your labor. Plus with OSM you get direct access to the underlying vector data, which in most cases will save you an arduous and error prone processing step Other than that, the whole field is wide open for all kinds of awesome ideas.

For anyone wondering: ML = Machine Learning, CV = computer vision.
