Random Ideas

A lot of people are remarking on particular ideas. Before you do this, make note of the following points:

1. The author is posting one of these lists EVERY DAY(!)

2. The author puts in the About: "Since ideas are useless if you don’t share them with the world, I decided to post them here. If you like any of them, go for it, make them."

3. Also in the About: "Sometimes interesting, sometimes thought provoking, and often enough pretty stupid. The point is to get the brain thinking, to exercise the brain muscle...All of them are original, as in I thought of them, but many may not be novel, as you know what they say, geniuses think alike :)"

The strangest thing just happened to me. I was literally just writing in my notebook that "I should write in my notebook more, and I should do that by writing down 10 ideas a day". And then I saw this article. I wonder, is this just Baader-Meinhof? Would I have seen but ignored this article had I not been thinking about it? Or would I have seen it anyway and ended up deciding to write down ideas daily, keeping my outcome the same but with an inverse causation?

It's great to share your ideas!

But to anyone who posts patentable ideas, remember that posting an article like this potentially starts a 1 year clock on being able to patent your idea (US) or potentially makes it impossible to patent your idea (some other places).

Coming up with these 3650/year will be an amazing accomplischment of endurance.

What's nice about it, even if you critique it, is that it refreshes your own brain, because of the different takes and spins on stuff. Kinda summarized.

This is a good example of how to generate and write down ten ideas per day. I like how many of them start with a pitch, then the idea, then first steps. I've tried to generate 10 ideas per day, but I find that I get overwhelmed with everything else I do - I'm going to try this format for two to three ideas per day to try to make the habit stick.

9 has been done as well.

Likely not in production owing to maint. in the case of chain, and heat (short belt, tight radius) failures.

I have to say, I decided to give this a go. I sat for 20 minutes with one idea down. By the time I hit the third one it started rolling quickly.

There's a certain freedom in breaking down an idea, only to see that its not a very good idea --- but sticking with it until its dried up.

#1 should be high-contrast fonts that are easy to read. I can barely read this post.

I really wonder why there is nothing like 3 yet. I've had two friends, and myself, independently come up with the same basic idea. An e-ink calendar that can sync with you google (or other online) calendar.

Idea 10: I have a "Temp" folder in my Bookmarks where I bookmark pages I want to come back to. I mainly use it for comparison shopping.

Idea 7 is close to that '90s series "Sliders".

Idea 6 is firebase

I think number 10 is firefox's pocket.

any info on number 9? diagrams or something?

Re #4: the "analog signal" would be light here, right?

Does no one else love idea #1? I would totally read that book

5. Isn't that why people go to shoesmakers?
