That would be a killer app, I'd pay for this.

Not really. More focus on working with tables and reusable custom named functions which operate with one or several columns. General idea is that a new table is some function of an existing one.

A real estate marketplace.

muruke• 14 years ago

I really want to disrupt the real estate market. Real estate agents in particular. I think it is a broken system, especially on the rental side.

Never dug into the law (here in Australia) but I want to make available the tool for people the manage their own properties, some standard rental contracts etc.

People already look for property online, then you have to deal with the agents, you should just be able to deal with the one - hopefully trusted - site. You search, find, go to a open inspection, apply online, get notified that you have it. Get sent contracts etc. Organise a meet for keys and signing. You'll then manage communication through that with the owner or a proxy.

You'd need to hire a bunch of resources that are vented to do open inspections and manage some calls etc. but on scale they'd be cheaper than a bunch on real estate agents.

Find the "international association of home inspectors" or the equivalent. Talk to them, talk to their members, about how much work you'll be sending them.

You don't need to hire them - just subcontract with them. Kinda like what Home Depot does for installation work - they have a vetted network of contractors around the country that they schedule...

Good luck

An app called "Flyer" to browse through events in your city

Disrupting the restaurant experience. From discovery, to ordering, to service, to receipts. Pretty much everything to do with it is broken and inefficient, so lots of work to be done.

Moving in on the fast food ordering online services like just-eat.com or do you mean something else?

An app that motivates you to go to the gym. Challenge friends on gym check-ins, and win their money when they don't go.

We're launching for Android on new year's day! (http://fitsby.com if anyone's interested)

Love this idea. I need it so bad.

Seems very interesting. Just checked the business model and if people use it repeatedly (not just one wager) this could make a lot of money. Good luck!

I plan to create a bitcoin bank that allows you to use Visa debit cards to make transactions and withdraw cash from regular ATMs.

It will work just like your regular debit card works when you are in a foreign country, the conversion will happen in 'real time'.

Trying to dry up the hipster job market, are we?

A fashion/clothes recommendation engine. I was going to start it earlier this year but got discouraged when I say another startup was much further ahead with their product. Haven't heard much of them since so I think the market is still there. Maybe that.. maybe not though.
