every idea in this thread is very good.
i also have some ideas i am trying to raise some capital to develop right now. one is fridge magnets but for metal filing cabinets. one is for skype but you are the big picture and the person you are talking to is the small one. one is a book or film about what if poland won the second world war. one is for a ruler pen. one is an app where you pay somebody to pick something up for you at the store and bring it to your door.

concept to pitch to max: a series of roundtable articles where we take an everyday thing and spitball ways that it could be better without any consideration of how that might be achieved. like, take the car. yes cars should, fly/hover, drive themselves, and run on garbage like in back to the future, that is obvious, but also we can solve parking by designing cars so they are stackable. replace tires with something that doesn't need air, that is just a nuisance. why do we still use engines, so bizarre and 19th century.
