Ideas for Habrastartup: Seed Stage: Brainstorming

Question

Startups

Many interesting projects die at the stage of ideological maturation, not having time to get their physical embodiment. There can be a great many reasons for this: from lack of experience (money, connections, knowledge) to panic fear that a bright idea will be “intercepted” by cunning companies that have more experience (money, connections, knowledge). It's not about the reasons, but about the projects themselves.
I propose to share my bright ideas about startups (unless, of course, these are classified developments).
I had a crazy idea in my head that any startup project can be implemented completely from scratch by combining the minds of a very large number of participants interested in it. Moreover, you can make this project both open and commercial at the same time!
As a confirmation / refutation of my hypothesis, I propose that the entire creative part of the Habra community unite around the creation of one (or maybe not even one at all) interesting project, and make a feasible contribution to the implementation of the project. Someone will make a design, someone will design a database, someone will test, someone will do copywriting and advertising, someone will attract sponsors (or become a sponsor himself), someone will solve legal issues related to licensing, someone with search promotion and promotion, someone will help in the internationalization of the project, and someone will build an adequate business model that will allow the project to develop completely independently.
Which project will be chosen - it will be possible to decide with the help of Habravoting, plus, minus, karma.

Answer 1

I will also offer one project, though I don’t know how to describe it correctly.
In general, I do not want to promote any service, but to offer a new technology that neither Yandex nor even Google knows about yet, and create a competitive brand based on it. These companies will not be able to quickly reorganize, since they themselves have cut it in the bud, which means there is a chance to make serious competition. This requires a group of serious and interested people who are not afraid, for example, of the phrase “Compete with Yandex”.

Answer 2

A couple of months ago, on another resource, I published a short story (based on a real story), which began like this:
First there was an idea. And the idea won over with its simplicity and uncomplicatedness: “We need to come up with some kind of crap that everyone needs. And everyone will benefit from this, and we will profit.”
In my experience, such messages in an amorphous environment rarely end up with something concrete and successful. At the core, there should be at least something stable - either the carrier of the idea (clear, clear and intelligible), around which the team gathers, or a well-functioning team that together gives birth to an idea.
In my opinion, it will be much more productive to go and read the resources where startup ideas are published (and there are already a lot of them) in order to choose something worthwhile

Answer 3

For starters, I will offer my super-mega-project for discussion.
Virtual Refrigerator
This project will allow anyone in the network to have their own Refrigerator, in which they can store "Products". And, periodically replenish it as it empties. It's more like a game for housewives. However, it is possible to profit from this project.

Answer 4

So, what will be stored in the refrigerator of a new user initially?
The answer is simple: The contents of the food part of the "Consumer" basket for 1 month for one adult.
Of course, the contents of the refrigerator can be changed, including completely cleaned.

Answer 5

We all follow links, back and forth from site to site, but on some sites there are practically no links, and as practice shows, these are the most convenient sites.
The meaning of the technology is to artificially imitate such services by blocking 100% of site links and replacing them with a javascript handler with ajax, which in 100% of cases works instead of reloading the page, while saving traffic well.
And all this is automatically superimposed on any controller method of the module that is currently working. There can be an almost infinite number of modules, and all of them, regardless of who wrote them, fall under the influence of the javascript handler.
In three words, I have developed such an environment in which the php code is not the main one, but executes javascript commands, if there is no javascript support, it works as usual. With such a library, you can make a single-page application from any site, for example, habr.
But not everything is so simple. To make the habr one-page, you need a class that will contain methods that collectively describe all calls. In other words, the entire habr should be born in one class, and what frameworks it will use in the future, or something else - it doesn’t matter, at least let it connect to its base.
And here's an idea. Create a resource based on the environment that will provide everyone with the same services that they use, only more convenient and light (the client library, by the way, does not exceed 15 Kb). In order to open a new service, it is enough to send a folder with files, one of which is the cherished controller class.
The pairing of modules is carefully worked out and placed in a separate menu, which looks like a “quick launcher” of the windows operating system and also has a fixed position. It is worth adding a new module to the system and you can immediately drag it to your menu. A tray works between modules, remembering which page of the module you were last on.
The sent module is assigned to the author so that he can earn money on it. You never know. Everything is honest.
I am looking for people interested in developing such a resource.
The biggest problem is the designer. Because of his absence, everything is worth it.

Answer 6

Yes, brainstorming would be better.

Answer 7

“understanding how to make successful projects” and “making successful projects” are two very different things. A project from the community that has received the support of a large number of like-minded people has a very high potential. For example, such a social phenomenon as the “Flash Mob”, when each participant individually does some kind of garbage that no one would ever pay attention to (if he did it alone), multiplied by the number of participants turns into a qualitatively different action. For example, such a good tradition as “subbotniks”, where a large bunch of people are engaged in cleaning and landscaping, and each of the participants is not a professional janitor and landscaping specialist, gives quite good and visible results!

Answer 8

brainstorming is not the most efficient way to solve problems
