An hour-based streaming model for Songs and TV shows, where you just buy a bank of hours and only get charged for what you actually play—would save so much money.
Wouldn't it be great if we just pay for what we consume, if we take a look at the current subscription models like weekly or monthly, they have a major flaw, people often spend too much less time actually using those subscriptions. If we introduce a new hour based model, like let's say I top-up 100 hours, that would be freaking awesome.

Time tracker for teachers
I am a new student teacher, learning to become an actual teacher. But I find it hard to keep track of when classes start and when classes end. Its a struggle not knowing how long a class is left because I dont know when to call clean up causing the students to stay behind and clean, or not clean at all and me having to do it. Also making them late to their next class.
So I am wondering if someone would be able to make an app. Where you can input the times of each period, start and finish, my school has 8 periods. while it having a live activity on an iphones lock screen. So you could quickly glance at your phone and physically see how much time you have left without having to struggle. I attached examples from the alarm app. The reason I dont like the alarm app because its a loud sound and it can be very distracting.
I feel like having an app like this could help so many teachers manage time better and be more efficient. I know there is other apps, but it just doesnt fit what im looking for.
Please let me know if you relate and think this would be a good app. Thank you!

A knitting PDF viewer that saves your exact row and repeat count
An idea for a knitting/crochet tool: open an existing PDF pattern, place a movable marker on the current instruction, and keep a row counter plus a repeat counter alongside it. Closing the app would save the page, marker position, and both counters together.
For example, if a pattern says to repeat rows 1-8 six times, the view could show both the current row and which repeat you're on. Notes would stay attached to that part of the pattern.
The aim would be to avoid switching between a PDF viewer, a separate counter, and notes. It wouldn't generate patterns or require uploading them to a public library.
Do existing tools already handle this well? If you knit or crochet from PDFs, would this solve a real annoyance, or are paper annotations and a physical counter easier? I'm sharing a concept for discussion, not a released app.

Please make an app where people earn points for completing daily tasks.
Hi everyone! I am severely depressed lately and even taking a shower feels difficult. I thought how cool it would be to have an app which can sort of motivate people like me. So here are my main points
You earn points by completing daily tasks
There is a timer - maybe pomodoro or just a normal timer which you can turn on while completing the task.
It would be great if the app offers you to make a profile similar to social media where you can connect not only with your contacts but with other people too and message them. That way you can make friends too.
The feed of the certain user may offer the option to add a photo - for example "i exercised today" - and a progress photo and also add text and let others comment.
Maybe you can have notes within the app or add goals.
Please let me know if anyone decides to make it.
