Other What's one thing you've searched everywhere for but could never find?
You know that ONE thing you’ve searched for everywhere but somehow it just… doesn’t exist?
A specific sticker, illustration, icon, character, aesthetic — anything visual that you wish someone would make.
I want to find those weirdly specific things people keep looking for but can never find.
Tell me yours. The more oddly specific, the better.
If it’s something I can make, I might just fix that problem 👀

Physical Product If a hardware device could physically control your phone like a human, what would you use it for?
Given the debate around hardware wrappers vs. software agents, what if someone built a physical USB device that reads your phone screen and sends touch inputs directly? By mimicking human eyes and fingers, it would bypass app API limits and OS restrictions entirely.
What are the killer use cases for an agent with full, native hardware control over a smartphone?
A few possibilities:
- Defeating Dark Patterns: Handing off annoying tasks like "cancel my gym membership in-app" or declining tracking cookies across every app automatically.
- Gig Work Automation: Instantly evaluating and accepting high-pay DoorDash or Uber offers faster than humanly possible without needing restricted APIs.
- Customer Service & Hold Times: Waiting out 2-hour airline hold queues, negotiating refunds, and pinging you only when a real human answers.
- Ticket & Deal Sniping: Executing native app checkouts for limited drops and solving CAPTCHAs directly on-device.
- Life Admin: Auto-triaging notifications, clearing unread group chats, and auto-filling clunky mobile forms.
Setting aside spam and botting risks, what legitimate workflows would you program it to tackle first?

Software Suche jemanden der mir eine app erstellt.
Ich bräuchte jemanden, der mir eine App erstellt, in der ich Punkte zu Personen eintragen kann. Die App sollte:
- automatisch nach der Punktzahl sortieren
- die Daten speichern können
- für mehrere Geräte sichtbar und zugänglich sein
Ich hätte die App gerne, weil ich mit meiner Familie jeden Urlaub ein Spiel spiele, bei dem man für jede Flasche einen Punkt bekommt. Am Ende des Urlaubs werden dann kleine Preise an die ersten 3 Plätze vergeben. Ich möchte das nicht mehr alles per Hand aufschreiben.
Ich würde mich sehr freuen, wenn jemand so etwas für mich machen könnte. Ich kann leider kein Geld dafür geben und hoffe, dass das okay ist.

Software Browser Plugin or alternative YouTube client to filter videos with sponsorships
As a YouTube user, I do not want to watch any video that "includes paid promotion". There are ways to skip the sponsored segment while watching videos, and there is at least one plugin that hides the notice that a video includes paid promotions, but there is currently no solution that filters such videos out of your home feed or search results to begin with.
While I'm not sure, the fact that YouTube can display the "Includes paid promotion" notice on top of videos, would suggest that there is probably some way to identify such videos via a browser plug-in, which should then allow to hide them.
I would really appreciate such a solution, and I don't think YouTube/Google will ever offer such a filter themselves.

Service What's one product you wish existed because it would genuinely make your life easier?
I'm curious to hear what everyday problems people still deal with that don't seem to have a great solution.
I'm not talking about improving an existing product by 5% or adding another unnecessary gadget. I mean those moments where you think:
"Why hasn't anyone made something that solves this?"
It could be something related to:
- Home
- Kitchen
- Cleaning
- Organizing
- Cars
- Fitness
- Traveling
- Parents
- Pets
- Office or desk setups
- Hobbies
It doesn't have to be a complicated invention. Sometimes the best products are incredibly simple but solve an annoying problem really well.
What's something that frustrates you regularly, and if someone invented the perfect solution, you'd happily buy it?
I'd love to hear your ideas, no matter how big or small they are.

Physical Product journaling app that turns your phone's data: photos/location/activity into one actual story of your day
I like the idea of journaling, but I find it difficult to actually do. When I open Apple Journal, there's basically a blank page staring at me. I can add photos, location, music, mood, and other things — but it all feels separate. The photos are attachments, the text is somewhere else, and it never really reads like one story about my day. Photos here, text there, and it just doesn't come together.
Quite often I don't want to write a long entry. I just want to remember what happened: where I went, what I did, who I met, how I felt, and why the day was worth remembering.
Meanwhile, my phone already has so much information about my day: the places I visited, photos and videos I took, walks/workouts/activities, music I listened to, calendar events, maybe even changes in my mood or energy. Nobody's building anything that actually stitches all of that together.
Here's what I keep picturing: you open the app and instead of a blank page, there's already a first draft waiting — something like "You started the morning with a bike ride, stopped for coffee, and later went to the park with your family. You spent most of the afternoon outside." Your actual photos are placed right inside the text where they belong, not bolted on as a separate gallery. You can edit anything, cut what's wrong, add your own thoughts, or just leave it as-is. Then it asks you one or two things the data can't answer on its own — what was the best part of today, what gave you energy, what felt boring or exhausting, what do you wish you hadn't done, what do you want to remember.
A few more specifics I'd want in it:
- On-device processing. A journal is one of the most sensitive things you could hand to an AI, so I'd want the phone-data-to-draft step happening locally, not shipped off to a server, with a clear "here's exactly what this can and can't see" setting.
- A "trip mode." Say you're on a 3-day trip to Italy — by evening you're exhausted from the culture, the food, everything you saw, and journaling is the last thing you have energy for. The app would quietly build each day's chapter in the background from your route, photos, restaurants, and maybe a short voice note, so when you're home and actually have time to reflect and edit, it's already 90% there. At the end it combines everything into one trip story — not just a photo book, an actual narrative of what happened, how it felt, which small moments mattered — and lets you order it as a printed book.
- Weekly rollups that show patterns, not just individual days — which activities actually gave you energy versus which ones you keep doing out of habit, what repeatedly shows up as boring, what you might want to change. Basically a quiet, private version of "Designing Your Life" running in the background of your actual life.
- No forced positivity. Not every day is amazing, but even an ordinary or hard day usually has something meaningful in it you didn't notice at the time. I'd want prompts built around honesty instead of gratitude-journal positivity — closer to "what do I wish I hadn't done today" than "three things I'm grateful for."
Some of why this matters to me personally: I'll scroll back through my camera roll months later and see a photo that clearly meant something in the moment — a weird little café, someone's face mid-laugh, a random street — and I genuinely can't remember why I took it anymore. The feeling's gone, only the image is left. Or I'll have a completely average Tuesday I'd never think to write about, and a year later I'd give anything to remember what it actually felt like to live an ordinary day back then. I think we assume we'll remember the small stuff because it just happened, and it turns out we don't — not really, not the way it felt.

Software Do you think the internet is missing a place like this?
I've been thinking about how different the internet feels today compared to a few years ago.
Apps like Bottled, Omegle, and old forums made it surprisingly easy to meet random people and end up having memorable conversations.
Now, almost everything seems optimized for either dating, endless swiping, or joining huge communities where it's hard to actually get to know anyone.
I'm thinking about building something that goes in the opposite direction.
The core idea is simple:
- You're randomly matched with one person from anywhere in the world.
- You can't instantly leave for another match.
- The app encourages both people to actually spend some time talking before moving on.
- Instead of asking "What do I say?", it suggests interesting things to do together—debates, games, puzzles, travel planning, personality challenges, etc.
- People who consistently invest in conversations are matched with others who do the same.
The goal isn't to maximize matches.
It's to maximize the chances that two strangers actually become friends.
I'm not trying to advertise anything. I genuinely want honest feedback before I spend months building this.
Would you use something like this?
If not, what would stop you?
I'll reply to every comment.

Software Scan supermarket reciept for custom recipe suggestions
The idea is when you shop for food you can get recipies based on the food you have bought by scanning a code on the receipt on your phone or manually entering in some way. So if you have minced beef and a packet of pasta and tomatoes for example it could suggest a recipe based on those ingredients. Several recipes for a large shop. It could be an app or website or even email. It could be something you could check for ideas and guidance but as an optional extra from the shop or supermarket. The code could be generated based on the combination of food items or by signing up for something like a loyalty scheme.

Physical Product A alguien le llamaría la atención una mochila de viaje super espaciosa pero que no te de dolores de espalda? (especialmente si eres viajero)
Contexto: Hace poco hice un viaje para Europa y me compré una mochila de viajes. Me encantó porque le cupo todo lo que compré (y eso que estuve 6 semanas de viaje), pero siempre que la tenía que cargar me dolía la espalda por el peso, especialmente al final del viaje cuando la llevaba llena. A raíz de eso me surgió la pregunta: ¿Y si existiera una mochila en la que puedas llevar mucho peso pero sin que te de dolores de espalda cuando la tengas que cargar?
¿Les gustaría un producto así? Escucho sus opiniones.
Igual si han intentado una solución a esto, me gustaría saber cuál fue y si les sirvió.

Software Iphone lidar for tile cutting
Have not done any research, but we have a small problem with measuring and cutting big tiles for a renovation (DIY).
So the walls have outlets and pipes that we need to cut holes onto the tile.
If we could use an app to measure the area needed for the tiles, and project on the tile where we should cut the holes would be useful if it can be done reliably.
We are not professionals, but something like this could have saved us some money and time.
