Interested in a weekly list of unvalidated startup/SaaS ideas?

[UPDATE] - One subscribe is more than zero so it's live: Subscribe to the Unvalidated Ideas Newsletter here!.

I've got a better name & domain in store but just to get off the ground as fast as possible, I've hosted it off my domain directly.

--- Original Post follows ---

Like everyone else, I've got a ton of ideas stashed away in my $NOTE_TAKING_APP -- the list is getting bit huge, and seeing as I'll never build all of this, I figure maybe someone should.

The ideas are varying in quality and also amount of research (some are quick thoughts, others I took the time to do some looking for competition, think of what the MVP would entail, etc).

Here's a few:

  • Twitter Bot blocklist: build a proper list of every single known bot on twitter. This idea is 10x better if blocking a person stops them from seeing your twitter ads.

  • CoffeeCapital: Same as Republic, but with starting amounts as low as $5 -- debt investing, equity (no voting shares) and/or micro loan. if you can keep your greed in check and only charge interest of near 3-10% (minus processing and other fees) modern software and providers could enable massive scale. Slow, long trudge but could be massive.

  • Zapier Zap for blogging -- this already exists (google docs + wordpress), but a more managed solution would be awesome too. Could also go the other way and build a ( Google Docs | Office365 | Evernote | ... ) -> Blog solution that is Zapier under the covers.

  • Heroku All-in-one backup -- install one addon, backup everything for a heroku application: dyno configuration, code, databases, caches, scheduled cron jobs, etc.

What do you think? If enough people on PH are into it I'll make a landing page + list and start sending out a mailing list.
