The ideas

  • An old-time radio player with no ads, downloads and 'already heard' tracking

    Old radio drama fans lost their favorite app to a worse redesign. A player built on public-domain archives would offer ad-free playback, offline downloads, background play, and a marker for episodes already heard. Source libraries like the Internet Archive keep content costs low.

  • A crowdsourced aisle map of where items live in big warehouse stores

    Warehouse stores rarely post aisle signs for products, so shoppers wander. Let people search an item and see the aisle and bay for their store, with community edits and recent-confirmation dates. Starts with a single chain and a map of the floor.
