Hello,
I’m looking for inspiration to build something new in terms of software/hardware. I wrote down over 25 ideas in total, and by my own standards if I saw someone else building them I’d consider these ideas cool, some are innovative, but my ideas are not exactly what I’m looking for.
I’m looking to invent something and leveraging existing technologies, for example blockchain -> btc or neural networks -> ml/llm.
Some ideas I had:
- A streaming-service for indie movie makers (* no/low budget)
- Sleep optimizer that monitors sleep and changes room temperature, light, etc for better sleep
- A half-digital scavenger hunt game (some parts are online, some offline)
- A skillswap marketplace, instead of buying a service both parties exchange skills
- A website that asks user what challenges they face in their every day life
…
What are some *outside-the-box ideas you’ve heard of? How can I check the viability without building the software or hardware?
Software to remotely control wall-mount airconditioners(sometimes called reverse-cycle AC, or a heat-pump).
Making some modular units that use off-the-shelf components, that can send the correct IR codes to run an AC at predetermined times. Maybe a wifi connection so it can accept remote commands or relay state info about current room temps etc.
I remember Logitech had something like this
