the record-everything-button app, launched it has a single button which when pushed starts recording every available audio input, the desktop and the active window, and emits a beep on every output. it then provides a link which when accessed offers a monitoring webpage showing that everything is indeed being recorded. sell it to the ten million active podcasters as a foolproof solution to the invariable recording fuckups.

feels like this should exist already, but the number of fuckups seems too high for that.

Perfect, now make each of those types of recording a separate $5/month and also send it all home to your servers for marketing

iLadies? I lay deez nuts on your face

As for startup ideas, I've thought about making an app that basically does only the invite/events part of Facebook. That was genuinely useful eight years ago when everyone was on FB and thus every event was on FB. Apparently the app IRL was claiming to do that, before it turned out that the whole thing was fake. I don't actually ever want to be in a startup, though. I just want this thing to exist so there isn't a mish-mash of a few dozen different places where one might receive an invite for something.

it's evite's time to shine again!

the core issue is someone has to pay for it and even with a time, place and theme I bet ad sales wouldn't cover the cost so we're back into selling customer data

e: funny thing when I was at evite we were working on a project to add a chat board and pictures to events but we all got laid off before we we could build the feature

Facebook used to be a good place for events but we had to pivot off it as the cops starting getting wise and attempted to infiltrate our events thru Facebook, so us and some others went back to mailing lists while I was still active in that scene anyway

this is kind of a good point, in that a good event "app" in 2023 would do well to be both more and less open than facebook. require no signup for most things (enter email for updates only) and for others to basically support a sensible level of vouching

seems a real hard space to break into, but it'd be fun if someone did.
