Side project
I wanted to design something without any constraints for a while. I considered working on a new startup idea or creating another imaginary app that makes zero sense. However, this inspired me to come up with some very weird ideas within existing apps. Here's a breakdown of all these concepts. Note that the order is based on my personal preference.
Remember that iconic mountain bluebird logo? Imagine you could quickly use Apple Pay to bring it back. Taking into account Elon's actions, it doesn't seem too unrealistic.
We all have that one friend who’s never on time. Big companies know more than we think they do. With this potential feature, iMessage would notify you about the estimated arrival time each time you’re trying to meet up.
Have you ever had to wait a long time for a very simple reply? I personally used to work with a client who would sometimes reply after a staggering 18 months. This concept would make it much more robust to set expectations and prevent wasting time with people like that.
Investment platforms have recently grown in popularity, offering endless opportunities. However, they often encourage excessive trading as they generate revenue through various fees. Imagine if they provided annotations to prevent users from making dumb investment decisions.
It takes a lot of time and effort to catch reckless drivers, who pose a huge danger to pedestrians and other drivers. One safety solution could be an system notification that alerts you in real time about reckless drivers in your area.
Ever sent your friend’s a funny cat video only to find out they had already seen it? This concept could solve this problem by indicating whether your friend has seen the video, helping them clear their chat and keep you looking up-to-date.
No matter if you're looking for a first home or an investment property, online listings are full of flippers and speculators who are trying to make as much profit as possible with little to no effort. Imagine if you could be notified if the seller is a flipper who's cut corners by using low quality materials.
Remember when Netflix tried to force people to use their own account instead of sharing their password with friends and family? Now imagine if they took the opposite approach and made collecting payments substantially easier.
I still find it strange to convert to Fahrenheit and quickly figure out how much 19 miles per gallon is. What if Google Translate could also help you understand Americans and all their weird measurements that almost nobody else is using?
Imagine getting an notification whenever somebody you know becomes an Uber driver. Your uncle or friend pulling up to you wouldn't be a surprise anymore.
