I just uploaded a new podcast with @jasonfried and he shared: - how to build "weird" software people love - 2+ free startup ideas (yes, take 'em!) - why your next app should have "open hours" - cozy software and what that means for you Notes below: 1) The "Scratch-off Ad" app idea • Full-screen ad you scratch off with your finger • Blow into mic to clear "dust" • Chance to win prizes/coupons • Global, once-a-day experience • Can build with a small team • Would print if you nail virality 2) "Shower Door Sketch" app concept • Simulates drawing on steamy shower glass • Ephemeral canvas that fogs up & clears • Add shower sounds for immersion • Screenshot to save ideas • Perfect for creative brainstorming 3) How do you bring real-world experiences to digital • This is a product insight that brings endless startup ideas • Leverage mystery, surprise, uncertainty • Create moments that can't be replicated • Tap into universal human experiences "There's some sort of deeper universal things to tap into here." - @jasonfried 4) The power of limitations in software • Time-based experiences (HQ Trivia). Underrated app. • Visit-once websites • Apps with "open hours" • Creates scarcity & increases perceived value 5) Is the hobbyist ethos missing in modern software? • Early internet had more quirky, fun projects • Less focus on monetization, more on exploration • Need for "weirder" apps and experiences Challenge: How can we make the internet more weird? 6) Cozy software is the new software movement to track • Make apps feel warm, comfortable • Contrast to clinical, cold modern design • Focus on user experience & delight Goal: Create software people genuinely enjoy using It was an absolute treat chatting with @jasonfried. And super cool to be able to listen back to this. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Please tag software you love in this thread. I'd be curious. Next tweet I'll include full links to the podcast.
