Ideas
Free ideas. Go build one.

I have more ideas than time. These are businesses, tools, and experiments I’d love to see exist. Take one, make it yours, and build something useful.
Turn your living room into a board game
An original fantasy board game that spreads across your living room in mixed reality. Place tiles around the room, roll dice, move between encounters, and play together. Think the scale of wizard chess with the adventure of a Talisman-style board. Start with a small, room-aware prototype and comfortable movement.
Make every good conversation searchable
Give an X host a searchable library of their Spaces. Add recordings, transcribe them, extract topics, and link answers to exact timestamps. Watch for new sessions where platform access allows. Keep host uploads available when automatic capture does not. The product should remember the conversation long after the feed forgets.
Tell me the task. Show me the models.
A simple question box that turns “What model should I use?” into a useful shortlist. Match the task to benchmark evidence, cost, speed, and available providers. Explain the tradeoffs in plain language and show when the data was checked. Use the Artificial Analysis data API, then test recommendations against real tasks.
A deck builder that explains its choices
Pick a Commander and get several balanced ways to build it. Account for lands, mana curve, draw, interaction, budget, and strategy, with The Command Zone’s template as a starting point. Build from a supported collection export or the wider card pool. Make commons and uncommons work hard. The ambitious next step: search for new Standard decks and test them against strong baselines—an engine for discovering decks, not just copying lists.
A second brain, without the setup spiral
A local-first starter that interviews you, builds a PARA folder structure, and adds useful templates and agent instructions. Bring your own tools. Get clear setup steps for each agent so your notes travel with you. Keep the interview and personal files under your control. The goal is a useful personal wiki on day one.
Spot openings before the doors open
Watch public permit records, business registrations, and local notices for signs of a new storefront. Confirm the business and address before adding a lead. Help a relevant local supplier offer something useful at the right time. Start with one city and one kind of record. Availability, timing, and publication rules vary.
Can all that bot spam become useful?
Post a crypto cash tag and the promotion pitches arrive. Could a useful filter, an opt-in sponsorship inbox, or a better market for genuine advertisers turn that noise into value? There must be a better outcome than another “let’s collab” reply. The hard part is finding a paying customer without rewarding spam. This one is a question worth solving.
Speak a website into existence
One guided setup connects your agent, Git repository, hosting, domain, and deployment checks. Then you describe the site out loud, review it, and publish. Meet people in the tools they already use. Make account ownership, spending limits, and domain purchases clear. Build the missing setup layer that makes voice-to-website feel effortless.
SkateLinks, kept alive
One beautiful, searchable page for everything skateboarding: shops, brands, videos, spots, channels, and useful resources. An agent finds candidates and checks old links. A human approves and tags the good stuff. Keep the directory fresh without turning it into another feed.
A useful index of AI ↗
A fast, searchable directory of AI tools, models, benchmarks, voice projects, and learning resources. Text links, useful categories, and very little weight. It now lives here, with an admin form and a research skill to help find the next good addition.
A speaking coach that lets you finish
Practice a pitch. Get a quiet signal when filler words creep in, then a short review of pace, repetition, and clarity. Keep recordings local and let people choose what to track. Help people speak more clearly without interrupting every thought.
A game master with a campaign notebook
A voice-first game master that remembers the party, the world, and last week’s loose ends. Keep character sheets, dice, and rules in a dependable engine. Let AI handle dialogue and narration. Give everyone a campaign log they can inspect and correct.
An RPG where the stats are earned
Finish real tasks. Log real workouts. Grow a character whose strengths reflect what you actually did. Keep the history visible and reward consistency without punishing a missed day. Start with one satisfying loop before trying to turn a whole life into a game.
See the shape of your notes
Point a small local app at a Markdown folder. Browse its links as a readable map, find isolated notes, and discover connections worth making. Open any node in your own editor. Useful navigation should not require moving your knowledge into another service.
Find the good stuff you already saved
Choose a few folders of old documents, bookmarks, and media. Build a local catalog that explains what is there, finds duplicates, and helps you rediscover useful material. Keep source files in place and show exactly where every result came from.
Build one? I’d love to see it.
