lmk if u think i should make that

Has anybody experience with AI supported largely automated selling of domains.

Are there sample prompts, tools or SaaS solutions for a workflow like this:

AI analyzes the domain

Owner connects DNS of domain to tool.

AI creates a website based on the analysis.

AI identifies prospects.

AI sets up email and drafts cold emails.

A human approves cold emails and sends them.

Human negotiates with potential buyers.

(Ideally this would help to sell domains quicker and for a higher price than simply waiting for offers with the SEDO landing page.)

I've always thought about the idea of a website where you'd enter a nonexistent English word, and it would display how earlier forms of that word would be like if the word existed.

Like Early Modern English, Middle English, Old English, Proto-West Germanic, Proto-Germanic, Proto-Indo-European.

Or French, Old French, and Latin for French etymologies.

I had a simple idea and I'm trying to figure out whether it's actually useful or just something that sounds interesting.

The idea is an app where you add something you buy:

• Take a photo
• Enter the price
• Enter the purchase date(from today backward)

Then it calculates something like:

an iPhone - $1,000, used for 730 days => $1.37/day

When you stop using it (sell it, replace it, break it, etc.), you hit "Stop" and it gives you the final cost per day and total usage time.

The idea is basically to answer: "Was this purchase actually worth it?"

I'm wondering:

1. Do you ever calculate the cost-per-day/use of things you own?
2. Would seeing this information change what you buy or how long you keep something?
3. What types of things would you track?
4. Does this sound genuinely useful, or is it just an interesting number that you'd look at once and forget about?

I'm currently not building/promoting anything yet - just trying to understand whether this is a problem people actually care about or feel interesting to use.

For me, it's a vitamin not pain killer idea but it's fun...

An app where people can upload photos, videos, and write a few messages to celebrate someone's birthday. Guests attending the party, or family members, can join and take photos to capture the moments, or leave a few wishes for the birthday person. Everything is saved and can be viewed together by everyone, or kept private, depending on the settings.

This is a weirdly specific thing but it bugs me every time. Once you're done, you're kind of just holding this thing, and whatever room you're in, the trash can is never right there. So you end up walking across the room with it, and half the time something drips or it just feels awkward to deal with.

I've been trying to figure out if there's already a good solution for this (a little discreet pouch, a built-in compartment, anything), but I haven't found anything that actually solves it well. Is this just a me problem, or does this bother other people too? How do you personally deal with it?

I’m building Tools: https://tools.valuero.top/

It started as a way to keep small, practical jobs out of a chat window: word and character counts, JSON formatting/validation, image compression, calculators, converters, QR codes, and more.

The current MVP has 50 focused tools. Most text and image tasks run locally in the browser, so users do not need an account or need to upload their files to a Tools server. I also added a small rule-based router: someone can type “jpg too large” or “make this JSON readable” and it opens the matching tool instead of starting a chat.

I’m looking for honest feedback from builders:

• Which tools would you expect in a first release that are missing?

• Is the natural-language router useful, or would you prefer a better search/filter experience?

• What would make you trust a browser tool with a file?

I’m actively iterating and happy to answer questions about the implementation.

I’m a teenager interested in building my first real app/startup, but I don’t want to make another generic AI app, to-do list, habit tracker, or social network.

Instead, I want to find a real problem that people actually experience and build something genuinely useful around it.

So I’d love to ask:

What’s something that annoys you regularly that you wish an app could solve?

It can be something small or something really frustrating.

I’d especially love to hear about problems where:

• Current solutions are annoying or complicated
• You currently use a weird workaround
• You have to do something manually
• Existing apps don’t quite solve it
• You think an app could make it significantly easier

I’m not looking for app ideas as much as problems.

If you could tell me:

1. What the problem is
2. How you currently deal with it
3. Why existing solutions aren’t good enough

That would help me a LOT.

Thank you!

I spend most of my day handing off work that lives inside AI chats - and the handoffs are useless. If I send someone the whole conversation, they get 200 messages of noise, none of the context the AI built up along the way, and no idea which of the ten things we tried we actually settled on. So they re-run mistakes I already made and documented.

Sharing the raw chat gives too much and too little at once. Too much: every dead end, every number I didn't mean to share. Too little: the actual state of the work and the why behind it never travels.

What I wish existed: paste a session, get back a one-pager with a fixed structure - goal, current state, decisions and the reasons for them, dead ends (so nobody repeats my failed branches), constraints, next steps. Scoped, so a teammate sees more than an outside contractor. And ideally the receiver's AI can pick it straight up and keep going instead of starting cold.

Hey everyone, I've been trying to come up with a solid app idea to build, but honestly, it's been tough. Ever since AI tools exploded, the bar for what's considered "innovative" feels impossibly high, and every niche I think of either already has ten AI-powered competitors or feels like it'll be obsolete in six months. I keep going back and forth between wanting to build something AI-native and something that just solves a real problem regardless of the tech stack. So I'm turning to you guys,

if you had the time and resources to build one app right now, what would it be? Not necessarily something AI-driven, just something you genuinely wish existed or think the world needs. I'd love to hear what problems you're itching to solve, even (or especially) the weirdly specific ones. Your half-baked ideas, shower thoughts, and "someone should really make this" moments are exactly what I need. Thanks in advance!

Many platforms use the now-ubiquitous 5-star rating system.

But often you have to click around and dig deeper to find out whether that rating is based on 8 reviews, 10,000 reviews, or 1 million reviews — and then dig again to see whether those reviews are from this week or the last decade.

That means a 5-star rating can be misleading:

• The sample size may be too small to inspire much confidence.
• The rating may be stale because almost nobody has reviewed the item recently.

Question

Can the 5-star system evolve to visually surface those two additional dimensions:

• review volume and
• review activity over time?

Keep the familiar 1–5 rating levels.

But maybe use different symbols to indicate relative confidence based on volume of reviews?

■ Emerging — relatively meaningful volume of evidence
◆ Strong — relatively large volume of evidence
★ Benchmark — relatively highest volume of evidence on that platform

Color could visually communicate relative review maturity or aging?

🟦 = Relatively sporadic review activity with relatively shorter history
🟨 = Relatively consistent ongoing recent reviews
🟫 = Relatively stale, no recent review activity

Combining the symbol and color could communicate both confidence dimensions at a glance.

For example:

4.8 ⭐ = highly rated, benchmark-level review volume, and established over time.

4.8 🟦 = highly rated with strong review participation, but still new.

4.8 🟫 = had some early success but little recent review activity

Ideally, thresholds would be relative to each platform's own review volume and activity level.

For example, on a niche platform where the most-reviewed item has only 10 reviews, an item with 8 or 9 reviews might earn the ⭐ benchmark confidence symbol.

On a huge platform where popular products receive millions of reviews, something with only 5,000 reviews might still be classified as emerging 🟨.

Probably needs to be simplified, just use star but different colors to give user visual signals.

Just seems the current one-dimensional 5-Star rating system is missing something.

Personally I am always spending extra time digging deeper to determine my real confidence in a review.

Anyone seen a platform doing something similar?

Some platforms show the # of reviews which helps but not the age of those reviews.

Other ideas for visually communicating review ratings?

Take Amazon. Amazon *really* sucks now, which is a shame because it's a genuinely valuable tool that's been validated like crazy.

The little things that I used Amazon for that I can't anymore are really basic:

- A place where I can buy a digital copy of a movie or show, watch it in any country, and expect that it's still going to be there.

- A shared, public wish list of physical products I want. Say I see a cool product on Instagram, Etsy, a business' direct website, and I want a place to direct people to a list of all of them when they're gift shopping for me. I used Amazon's for this for years, but first of all it's walled-off (meaning it only lists Amazon products) and second it's not terribly shareable anymore.

run-on sentences because I’m using voice to text!!

I want someone to add the feature on streaming services where you can pick multiple shows that you like and it will just throw it in a personalized channel that will play random episodes throughout the day. I like to have my TV on in the background whether I’m watching it or not and I would love to have my favorite shows playing instead of just one of my favorite shows playing or me having to click on it and choose an episode to start on. Is there already a service like this (I know cable exists but you can’t choose your own shows.)

I work long shifts for days sometimes, then come home and spend whatever time I have left working on the product.

The internet is slow. The resources aren't always there. And building something like this as a solo developer means constantly having to work around limitations that people in other places might not even have to think about.

But I think the hardest part isn't always the technical side.

It's the mental side of trying to build something ambitious while dealing with all of that at the same time.

There are days when you're tired, stuck, unsure if you're moving fast enough, and you still have to sit down and keep working.

The product itself is an AI infrastructure layer for e-commerce. I'm basically trying to solve a problem where most online stores give pretty much the same experience to everyone, even though different visitors obviously want different things.

What I'm building works across the UI, visuals, and product data. I can't really explain much more without giving too much away 😅. It's a pretty complex system, and I'm building it alone.

I don't plan on stopping. Whatever happens, I'll keep working on it and figuring things out.

But I'd genuinely like to hear from people who've been through something similar.

How did you deal with the pressure, the uncertainty, and the feeling that you have to keep moving even when the circumstances around you aren't ideal?

What kept you going?

Women are the most emotional based product consumers. Their products are overpriced for no reason.
Why is it that men’s products are often designed to be more efficient and practical, yet they’re sold for less than comparable women’s products? Razors are a good example. Men’s razors can be thinner, more precise, faster to use, and cheaper, while women’s razors are often more expensive, bulkier, and don’t necessarily perform better and have a higher rate of cutting you.
I think there should be an app where women can recommend products exclusively to other women. It would be women-only, and users could rate and recommend products based on their personal experiences.
You could use it to discover products other women genuinely love, or simply keep track of the best products you’ve personally found. You wouldn’t necessarily have to review anything negative. If a product has zero reviews or recommendations, that could simply mean nobody has vouched for it yet.
For example, women could rate and recommend things like:
Vibrators
Razors
Hair-growth products
Shampoo and conditioner
Skincare
Makeup
Hair tools
Hygiene products
Clothing
Beauty products
Basically, it would be like a women-only product recommendation database where you can see what other women actually use and trust instead of relying entirely on sponsored reviews or generic product rankings.
