"Can you hack my ex-girlfriends Instagram?"

Or, "I have an amazing idea for an app..."

[โ€“] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago (6 children)

Clearly, if my years on the internet taught me anything, the killer app ID is an app that hack's ex's socials with bonus functionality for changing their school grades

My app idea was location based reminders instead of time based.

The next time you're at the store you'll get a notification with your notes.

I think it's a neat idea but i never have location on so ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

I think you can use existing software to do that. If your store has wifi (even if you can't access it, I think), you can geofence an area and have some action (such as popping up a reminder app) trigger. I've not used software like this myself, but I remember people describing behavior like this at least on Android. If it might be useful to you, you should give it a search.

I have an app that's meant to schedule things, but I just use it as a checklist and preface each action with the location. So long as I check it (second home screen on my phone, so not a huge barrier), I'm usually good.

Example

  • costco: chicken
  • costco: paper towels
  • Cainz: sunscreen
  • grocery: milk
  • grocery: eggs

yeah quite a few apps are existing software wrapped into a convenient bundle
